Curious.. Do you guys try to pass your reps off as real? Have you ever been called out by someone with good eye?

I don’t think anyone can tell the watch is a Rep from arms length. The only person getting closer is my wife. The only way to get called out is by purchasing a low quality rep for cheap money. Most people don’t even know the name of the watches other than Rolex.

It's been asked and answered many times. Also, it's a bit distasteful to pass your rep off as genuine...

No, reps are reps. Why lie about them? You bought the watch with hard earn money, so wear it with confidence.
No one but a rude person would ever call out your rep, and who care what a cretin thinks.
Having say that, I would still avoid the gaudy, blingy reps... I mean, unless you are a rapper or Odell.

I tell people my reps are reps and my gens are gens. Let people admire your reps and gens.
