Hi,:howdy: may I do a interesting experiment,
Can anyone tell this one is rep or gen?
:cny:

It's a real Volvo.

I say it is a replica. The PAM0024 has the magnifying glass over the date, but there is no "2500 m" under the LUMINOR tag.

But if you bought a genuine and then had it modified, all bets are off! You can't really tell, unless you can actually see at different angles, and you can open its back and see the movement.

Nice try, thought, and I took the bait!

I bet $100 replica.

I wouldn't drive a Volvo if I has a gen, so rep

A rep imo, based on the markers on the bezel. The gens I saw has more recessed markers. It's a 243 btw, probably from Noob.

This is a 243. And it's a REP. The number markers on the bezel have a much lower profile on the gen.

Whoops, looks like Jamztio and I said the same thing....Well, we agree then!:thumbsup:

The owner claim it's a gen, But to my eyes this is probably a rep 243 but don't know what version , what I can spot on the sub dial is shiny, but the cyclops looks so good...

Need some better pictures.

The pic is not good enough to say the version
It is a rep because of the shiny subdial, brused finish of bezel and short polished bevelled in bezel.
We would need better dial and CG pics (seeing corners, lever 1000m inscription... )

ALE
