smoke E=timnic54;n6807548]I have said it before. Gen forum people wouldn't know a rep if it hit them in the eye. Rep forum people will call a gen out as a Rep. Great post OP.

It is because we own the paranoia.

I have been buying Gen Rolexs for many years their QC has always been questionable.[/QUOTE]

That's true, we have become paranoiac and too anal, 3 years ago I got a nice Sub V5 and I was so happy about it... I use to question myself "what SEL, what are they talking about"???? I should call it the "smoke" effect lolololol!!! No offence bro @ smoke

I love threads like this and wish there were a ton more; I never can identify the rep unless it's New York City street corner level.

I have literally no clue about this stuff (by the way efthimis, what was the answer to your quiz), but I'm going to say it's a tad wokky, therefore rep.

Thats a perfect example of under magnification - which Rolex did use for a small period of time. Like I said in the other thread there has never been in any case "over" magnification on any cyclops period.

And yes if you take it back to RSC because of the low mag they will replace it free of charge to a proper x2.5 mag I've had this done at RSC about 18 months ago.

Where Reps lag miles behind for me remains the movement. If they improve reliability there, it's game, set and match!

Completely agree, but do you care if the movements are clones/same design as genuine or just that they're reliable and accurate?

I *think* the copied movements in my reps are reliable and I know they're accurate (to less than 10 seconds per day), but almost all of them have a crappy feeling, borderline unreliable crown function (though none have actually failed) which makes them questionable in my head as to whether/when they're going to quit. I'd be happy with a Seiko movement in a Rolex rep, but I'm one who never understood the fascination with in-house movements.
