Will owner of Gem Patek 5167 notice that Patek 5167 ZF is a Rep

[patek5167a]

Hello I'm very new here
I got a question that if someone who owns Gen Patek 5167, and wear the rep Patek 5167 from ZF will that person know it's a Rep not Gen

I got gen 5711 and 5712r (they are my father)

I'm planing to get one of rep 5167 ZF since in my family no one have aquanaut

thank you all for the answer and sorry for bad English

A real patek watch guy will directly know at the first 10 seconds max.

ZF sunburst effect is off. Others are Ok.

 

[gianttg]

yes

 

[ks123]

No because on the wrist who can tell, unless you know the flaws to look out for

 

[mottykytu]

If they know about Rep, Yes

If not they just think it is a variety in Batch production

Until they borrow you it and look at the back Obviously!

So back of rep ZF is not like Gen? I thought ZF back is just like Gen

Believe it or not but a lot of Patek owners don’t spend hours looking on the internet for gen vs rep differences.

I struggle to convince my gen clients that this is rep.

They simply won’t believe it. As far as they are concerned it’s a gen Patek movement. They don’t research on the internet what a Miyota vs Patek movement looks like and then commit it to memory . Lol

Of course I am taking about typical gen owners are not crazy forum people who spend all day on the internet learning what a gen Patek movement looks like.

Like it was mentioned in the posts above, if the person is someone who came into money and decided to buy the best watches, cars, homes, etc they're not going to know that much about your watch, they'll 99% think its real at first glance, if they inspect it closer and wear it around they'll notice differences in the reserve, the date change, the movement, etc... But this will take time. If they saved up to buy the watch and they're an enthusiast and know all about watches they'll spot the differences asap, in my experience people who notice reps spend a lot of time of these forums and most likely own or have owned a rep themselves.

I’m wondering which edition of 5711 you have. There are 3 different version of blue dial. 2nd edition is most collectible.

If they hold it in hands they will know it’s a rep as it’s much more lighter that gen.
on the wrist I don’t believe anyone would be able to say it’s a rep based on look of the watch - especially when it comes to black dial. It’s so freaking good.

I never knew 5711 have 3versions lol haha. I'm not a watch expert I just buy them

Gen owners simply does not bother, especially those that owns Patek pieces are usually successful people that are too busy to be doing petty stuff like checking out if you’re wearing a rep. Unless the rep is really so bad it calls itself out or you really can’t pull it off with the social status.

Part of the reason you don’t see everyone rocking a Richard Mille rep no matter how well it’s being replicated.

The habits of trying to legit check often comes from insecure rep players being afraid of getting called out.

One client said to me “there’s no way China factories can engrave a movement like that”

His colleague agreed “you can tell it’s quality from how clean and well polished the movement parts are”


Lol.

Ahahah why am I not surprised? For anyone who doesn't know how a movement is supposed to look like specifically, these decorated miyotas are nice looking
