Disturbing Pic

Just cruising through the regular forums/fora, I found this pic. It seems a bit off for a gen. I'm hoping the guy didn't get taken - sold the Daytona, new baby etc. Any expert opinions? I've compared mine to some gens close up. This looks alot like my rep (pearl, coronet @6). I hope I'm wrong. What do you think?

I have a genuine and I don't see any problems with it. Me thinks you've been looking at reps so long that a genuine looks suspicious.

Insightful and troubling observation. This pursuit lends itself to paranoia at times. I believe that the only thing to do is get a gen. My wife won't let me do it until we finish furnishing the house. I'm squirreling away bits of some of the larger commission checks so it won't be too obvious.

BTW, you might want to crack open the caseback on your gen...are you sure it's real...they're everywhere you know...they sneak in at night and replace the gens with.... :o

Totally true. I went in to a Rolex AD today, looked at some gen Subs, and thought to myself that the bezel looked cheap and the movement wasn't 'smooth' enough... lol

Looks :thumbsupsmileyanim: to me...on the rep the markings on the bezel are a giveaway... on this one the distance between the inner and outer edges and the marker are equal and centered...None of the reps I've seen (even the overhauled versions) got it right. I'd think is an easy fix for factories but maybe they produced fififillions of bezels already and they keep on using them. By-Tor has great, GREAT, reviews on this! :victory:

Cheers
