I've a friend who has worked in watches for twenty years and for Patek for half of that time, handling loads of Pateks daily. On handling my ZF Aquanaut 5167A, the first thing that was commented of was how it felt much lighter than Gen.

Just saying.

I would have replied with examples, before I was shot down. I didn't proclaim to be a specialist - I stated I had been on this forum for a long period - two very different things but, as per usual, you 'experienced' posters just make assumptions.

I agree Raddave, along with the others I mentioned in my previous post, trying to be helpful. But, amongst the noise of the useless posts , it doesn't warrant even being on this forum. There is simply no pleasure on being on this forum - other forums are far more helpful; it's not that I am upset, it's just a pointless exercise when I can get the answer from other forums in a much more constructive manner. I own genuine Rolex and Pateks; clearly I wouldn't ask this if I haven't experienced the issue - and I would follow up on this forum, but you will see on another forum, I have posted on - I already have the reply I was looking for.

Indeed, GingerBubba experienced it too.

Best of luck, enjoy your reps and forum :)

What influx of immaturity we have gotten in the last batch of new members. Must ask factory to up the standards and qc process.

I’ll tell Angus to tell the factory to make them more resistant to criticism and challenges, less millennial-y. Maybe make them in new 904L steel that will make the new members same weight as us?

Well stated! I've really noticed a heavy influx of whining, thin skinned new members that want to ARGUE and BITCH with everybody while bringing up some "issue"or how the TD's are not responding "properly" within their perceived acceptable time response. Man...it is getting old!

I have noticed this a few times with the rep being lighter then the GEN but when I say lighter I mean 2 to 8 grams lighter at most which without weighing them would you be able to tell the difference so again if that minuscule difference bothers you then you need to just buy GEN as the rep game just isn't for you

I think I might need something heavier than 904 to get the same weight as me. Time for me to bulk up some more!

It’s the attempted Redditfication of RWI. Join the resistance.
