As I said no. Never have been, never will be. As far as differences go, 99% of them are loupe flaws anyway. I mean think about it for a second. Everything picture you see here is a macro shot blown up to the size of a human head. I have been on the forums for years. In that time I have yet to see one instance where anyone has been verifiably called out on a decent rep where they didn't cause it to happen. There are reasons that it could which I won't cover here because it is in the Noobguide. But needless to say these things are not the main factors associated with pulling one off. If they care, which they don't...well read my sig. In any case if they do think it's a rep it would at best be an unverifiable suspicion at which point they move on (usually) or they will ask (almost never). Personally I've never been asked about my watch much less if it was a rep. But we don't buy them with the intention of misrepresenting ourselves or deceving people. So even if someone did there'd be no reason to lie about it. That's why I love them. Total win win.
What you say makes complete sense. But my issues are more to do with my own neurosis. I want to buy a rep of a watch for a design that I am fond of... But the idea that I will be paying for something less than perfect really gets to me. Logically, I know that I should be leaping for joy that the AP ROO rep I can buy will save me £21,400 on the gen - but it still won't be perfect. :wacko: It has more to do with my own makeup (everything has to be perfect), than wanting to fool someone.
So any watch I buy had better unbelievably close to a gen, to the extent that I would not be able to tell the difference, else I'd rather pick up a cheapie watch.
