I’m a newbie and have been lurking for a while but have had to wait until now to post anything. The reason being is that I’ve only just received my special security software that enables me to post on a rep forum without detection. I will respond to any feedback but it may not be instantly as I have to turn my computer off after each post.

You'd better download the SRA (security rep app) on you mobile if you travel a lot, keep it ready when you're in an airport and be sure to show it to proove the one you're wearing t's not a rep , otherwise it's a mess

Many thanks Seefeld but although I’m a newbie I’ve done my research and have already downloaded it. I thought I might need it last week while out shopping as I was followed across the car park by a security guard. But when he saw me go into Waitrose he obviously thought my Sub was gen and left.

If someone needs a direct link to download a free copy of SRA be free to PM me (12 licenses left for Apple, 5 Android).

Never heard of anyone being arrested for wearing a rep... as if they would be trained to see the différence. Do you travel with your watch papers if you own a gen?
If your bag is full of fake watches its a different story

I was at the airport recently and put my A2824 Breitling into the XRay and was arrested afterwards when the airport security worker saw through the XRay that my rotor wasn't "Breitling" engraved but a blank standard rotor. The guy then pressed the "Counterfeit/drug smuggler" button and I was escorted off the premises and put into a jail cell overnight until I paid my 10.000€ fine.
And here I thought I'd be save by buying a closed caseback watch.

My girlfriend travels to/from the Philippines and USA once a month and brings back a rep Rolex almost every time and they are the cheap $50 type. She always wears them, even the men's models and has never been harassed. Lucky maybe? I'm sure these are Chinese made but she has come home with some really good reps for the price.

I just ordered a Blue Sub rep for my travels across the US, now I look forward to the harassment and possible interdiction. Lmao!

My recent trip to Germany and back from the UK went without incident with my rep Breitling on. More worrying was the German guy putting his hand in my belt area in my trousers despite going through the body scanner.

Sad news, few hours ago Scotland Yard have arrested a 28 yo guy at Heathrow airport with a rep on his wrist, he was directed to U.S., please be aware when you are traveling (at least keep it under your shirt and remember frankening it a bit can save your ass).

I was in Italy a long time ago and was literally crucified for wearing a rep sundial, Jesus Christ.
