OOTB means out of the box, you keep it like it is....as said the fat lugs are from the 116xxx model not from the 126xxx...but it's up to you....buy the one you like, a rep will be always a rep...

I was joking about Kendall Jenner. I said lips, another member quoted saying lugs, apologies, nothing to do with the watch.
I honestly have no idea about the lugs or lip mod or specific nuances re the Pepsi as I haven't investigated it.
What I am 100% sure of though is that there is definitely a thread on it on the forum.
Good luck with your research & hope you get the watch you're after.

Yep, here is the thread

OP don't come complaining that people aren't helping you

You're welcome Sir,
Best of luck, tbh, and it's just my opinion, don't be stressing the small stuff. It's a ~$500 replica, a fraction of what the GEN cost, so it's meant to be enjoyed, not examined under a microscope.
I see Tobel has kindly linked the relevant thread there, so you've some reading ahead of you, if you want to delve into the nuances

No idea what that means but just to be clear the gentleman I quoted made an excellent joke as to whether Kendall Jenner was benefitting from plastic surgery or whether she was straight “out of the box” i.e. completely natural. Have a good evening
If you can’t tell by a picture if a watch has a bezel lip, or even what a bezel lip is, then you are simply going by something you read.
Since that is clearly the case & you can’t identify flaws yourself, just choose the watch you find most aesthetically pleasing & get that one.

The Batman is better. Thus is the case for all the reps. The BLRO is more difficult to replicate. The red in the bezel insert is always off. It will always be an "instatell."
The BLNR has an incorrect case, the CGs are c/w the 116710 but the dial with the coronet is c/w the 126710. And so are the longer hands . But that is something you can't really see on the wrist so peeps don't mind too much.
What I find more worrying is reports of a poor bezel construction.
Don't sweat it too much. My first and most worn rep is a GMF BLNR with an incorrect hand stack, a wrong 1 serif in the bezel insert, a crystal that sits a bit too high. It was rhe best BLNR at around the time i joined the forum. Yet I wear it most days during the week. It goes with everything. And I don't get called out, I call myself out.
Very rarely someone will say "nice watch," and i say "yeh it's a Rolex all the way from China" with a wink.
Twice in 2 years someone asked "hey is that a Rolex?" And I answered "yeh but not from Switzerland" or something like that.
I have considered upgrading a 100 times and even considered bidding on the odd Franken that shows up on m2m every now and then but haven't proceeded yet. My rep runs within 10s a day, nobody can tell it's a fake unless I tell them, why bother? Except to satisfy the inner watch nerd....
