lol, you realize bro, the same exact thing can be said for every AP replica in the hobby, if you know what to look for.
I can say the same of almost franken I see here.
Guys here enjoy the hobby at different levels. If he likes the watch, let him enjoy it.
The only real APs are the gen, and everything else is rep, including frankens, which are just more expensive reps as what QueTip will readily tell you.

Its better paying $100 for a watch which looks like $100 than $5000 for a watch which looks like $100 as well. :hehehe:

Anyway, I have zero knowledge about reps and I couldn't tell the difference between my new rep to a gen one, so for me, having a cool AP watch that looks gen and feel good, is everything.
It's like I have the real deal :)
(Sometimes it's good not to know something and feel good about it haha). And anyhow, since it's my first time I wanted to pay a low amount just to check the waters and see how it is.

I hope my next purchase will be better if you guys would help me.

I think owner attitude is very important. Truth be told, the salient difference in wearing a rep or gen is just the mentality and attitude of the wearer himself and not the watch itselt. He knows what his watch is and to 99% of the others in real life it’s mostly “hey nice watch” (if anything at all) instead of someone purposefully scrutinizing/calling out a watch as a rep. One needs to enjoy wearing his own watch and it is his business to choose what to wear
It’s only when said watch is posted or discussed on the forum that it becomes a picture for all to peruse and comment on. I’m willing to help you if you care to connect with me via PM and remember that what I share with you will be my opinions. If you know your APs, you’ll know that all AP reps are flawed and that includes the best frankens, so the best mod is to tune your mind to enjoy the watch you choose whatever it is. You can gain knowledge of the flaws and you decide if you can live with those.
Because the mainstream of the community here own “quality reps”, they may find the lower grade of replicas distasteful or laughable. If this attitude is allowed, then surely we must allow for those who find the “high quality” replicas ludicrous and allow for the same criticism as well, based on the relative quality of the watch and not how many folks own/exclaim over/desire/ recommend them. Quality is all relative and as long as you enjoy your own watch, all is good. Create a thread on any watch or build at all and you are apt to get a variety of opinions and it’s always opinions.
There is only one true benchmark and it’s not how v2 is better than v1 or x factory is better than y factory.
The gen model which serves as the watch being REPLICATED will determine how good or bad a replica is, not general consensus or popular opinions or majority vote counts (I never subscribe to or believe in those myself)

I personally like your watch for the customized look and the way you rock it. Don’t worry about the opinions of others. Every non gen watch posted is flawed in one way or another and that should not stop one from enjoying his watch. Be happy with what you own and learn as you go along!
