My gen (H0684) comes with a rubber bracelet instead of a ceramic bracelet (H0682). Price is cheaper for the rubber bracelet version.
The rep version was from King. It came with presentation box, manual and blank warranty card.

Anyway, here's the picture:

Front:

Ceramic case - The feel of the ceramic case is exactly the same on both rep and gen.
Bezel - The rep has a wrong size, wrong teeth, and wrong font bezel.
Dial - Very accurate, except the "J12" seems to be a little bigger on the gen.
Hands - The second hand is fatter on the rep.
Movement - Both are Quartz movement. Great for ladies.

Clasp:

Accessories:
The box is very accurate. The leather on the genuine box is softer. The manual and warranty card are pretty much the same for both rep and gen. The printing quality is better on the gen though.

The rep version has a butterfly clasp, same as gen. The engraving was off. The rep clasp doesn't lock as tight as a gen.

The rep is quite expensive, ~ $3xx for a quartz movement, but the rep is very accurate imo.
This watch is hot. I saw at least 10+ of J12 on the street.

There aren't a lot of choices for the ladies. If your wife/gf doesn't like the rolex nor the bling-bling diamond PP24, consider to get her a J12. Low profile, but very fashionable.
