How hard would it be to make them rep the super avenger? I would get one or two for sure!

GF responded to this question after H Factory never recovered from being raided. The Chinese market is GF's largest market. The Chinese tend not to wear a watch larger than 42mm so GF felt the would not recover their significant investment.

The only place to find them is on M2M or lower your expectations and buy a cheap quartz version. I happen to have a Gen, an H Factory Rep, and a low-end quartz SA. When they come up for sale on M2M you have to be fast. Three years ago somehow Perfect Clones was able to buy up the leftover parts and watches from H Factory's demise to make 30 black dial SA watches. These 30 sold out very fast. I tried to buy a second one before I received my first. They were gone.

tkingjr i understand, do you have any pictures with gen/rep side by side?
Here is the Gen vs Rep photos. The Rep has a Gen Dial. I bought the Gen in 2007.
