wooow! I think the only visible flaw that I would see is the fat case back.... and I could definately live with that!!!! great post...don't we just love those gen/rep comparisons...

I think the thicker caseback is usually not visible apart from if there is a gen right next to it and if it's on the wrist no one can really see the difference in thickness. The only major flaw has and would has always been the datewheel/datewheel font. With a close enough look the flaw can be seen even while on the wrist haha.

Just found this comparison. The AP ROO Black Themes looks awesome to me!

Thanks, good info.
Looks like my next order will be a black theme.

The common tells between the replica and genuine black theme personally would be the wider base hands, esp with the black contrasting dial, which seems to amplify the inconsistency. On contrast, to the naked eye at first glance, the date window alignment inaccuracy is less visible due to the black dial and black date window ring. I always deemed the worst issue with offshore reps would be with the wide base of hands because at least with the date windows positioning and right camera angling, you could portray it as a gen, that use to fool me lol..

One of the SoCal family owns a gen Black Themes... and although he will remain nameless, he provided his Black Themes for these comparison shots next to a Black Themes V2 secs@12 watch owned by me...
In the pics, the gen is the bracelet version, the rep is the rubber strap version....

This last shot is a comparison between the gen Black Themes versus a Ziggy lumed Slevin... taken to gauge the intensity of the lume versus the master's.... as my rep will be going for lume soon.

Hope you enjoyed the pics... and thanks to the fellow SoCal member for taking the pics..

Fixed.
