Rep or real?

[freddy333]

I am better with vintage models & it is impossible to say with any certainty at that distance, but from what I can see (& with that type of pictures (distant)), it looks like a rep.

[Tomhighway]

Well the bezel insert is not genuine and the date window looks big on the dial but it could be the camera angle. Dial printing looks a bit too white , but apart from that looks good to me!!

The insert was the thing that alerted me, the pearl looks way off, other than that I wouldn't know, you'd think after all these years I'd have picked up some knowledge by now

[iceberg1459]

looks like modded rep..but im no expert

[houndoggie]

"SWISS MADE" font looks a little to bold. I'm going to say replica.

The thirty minute tick separating the Swiss and Made caught my eye- I've never seen that on a gen.

It's a hardly used gen...with nothing "off"...

[Shundi]

I say gen...take a look at the 5 minute indicies... they're no where near as bold on most SD reps... Might be the angle but it could be an aftermarket insert...I'm no expert though

[southcoast68]

Either a gen, or a nicely modded rep. Either way, can I have it??

That is one of the things I look for on lughole models as one of the tells it could be real

It's authentic.
