Does it look gen to you?

Hi folks,
So, I've always wanted the Spectre watch but the pricetag on the ones available on Chrono24 is ridiculous. This week I was offered this one for approx. 5k but it comes with no box nor papers. Unfortunately, I don't have an option to take it to AD before buying. What do you guys think?
Thank you!

it's a rep, i'd guess it's a VSF

Agreed Rep.

Already mentioned - but it is a rep.

The regulator on the balance bridge gives it away if nothing else did it already.

Thank you, gentlemen, as always: if sth seems too good to be true, it probably is!

So to give you some context. I am in Mexico for work now and they have here a pretty famous national pawnshop (actually a chain) - everything is certified, audited, non-for-profit operations, kinda like a charity (tienda monte de piedad), all in all seems pretty legit and they have a very good reputation. So a friend of mine let me know about this piece and it is available for $4.9k USD. So it means that either the charity got the rep super cheap and wants to rip people off, or it was ripped off big time.

Nice catch with the lever on the bridge. To me the thing that looked suspicious was the sels/gaps between the lugs and sels. Well done!
