Here's the item in question: http://www.ebay.com/itm/20102214908...kparms=gh1g=I201022149088.N7.S1.M1474.R1.TR10
When I sent the seller a question for better pictures and possibly a serial number, they didn't reply. I even called to ask about it, but mysteriously got cut off. Hmmmmm...so, when enlarging the photo of the back, I can definitely make out the standard replica serial number ending in 555.
I reported it to eBay, but there's still bidding going on. Hurts to see someone's going to get stuck with this thinking it's real.

the pearl on the gen should look just like that, a pearl. On the rep, it is just filled in with lume with no spherical shape to it. Additionally gen has a silver lining around the pearl. I have 2 of these, i know a rep when i see it! :p

Additionally, some people don't recognize it as a tell, but the silver screws on the dial are present on the rep (Black on Gen). Too much of a coincidence if you ask me... lowsy pearl and silver screws? :thinking:

Good catch. I knew about the lume/pearl, but it just didn't click when I looked at it. (I don't own one, but would love to some day!). Report it to eBay yet? I just feel bad for those people bidding on it not knowing. I reported the earlier one to eBay already.
