Rolex doesn't give a f about the date mag anymore. There are so many out there with date mags way lower than 2.5x.

It has CHS and dial, hands and insert is gen. There is no way one could get those parts to build a franken of it.
Is there a guide on how to tell gen hands from reps? Or any guides at all to tell gens from reps?

Thanks for the reply. It looks crappy with low mag. Shame standards have slipped!

Here: there are some pics where it looks super odd and some where it doesn't look too bad. I'd have to see it in reality to judge. I didn't come across one yet.

You'll get an eye for dials and hands once you handled numerous and compared them to their rep counterparts.

Print, lume indices / quality and surroundings are easy indicators.

Very strange. I guess it makes rep producers lives easier!

Allows more tolerances since there are both correct and incorrect crystals.

Gotta love the crownguards the most. Looks like the watch is mad and buckled up for the fight! LOL

Someone should tell him about the duct tape trick. I mean if he's going to rock LEC on a 16610LV he might as well have it straight. Wonder if the cyclops is off too? LOL

I fully agree with the fooling AD's part but how in hell can you say Matttheturk DID INFACT try to fool an AD? Ever thought about the fact that he was just wearing a PAM and he took a pic? This doesn't have to say that he went to the AD to show him his rep and go like 'yeah check out this watch what do you think?'

Personally IDGAF what watch I wear when I'm visiting an AD. If I wake up tomorrow morning and think it's a good time to visit my nearby AD and I also decide on wearing a Noob v5 (which I don't own lmfao :rofl:) am I the same rep flaunting, AD's fooling guy like him?

Also what should other people be in about knowing anything is rep or gen, the ones that can spot the difference will know it the others most likely won't so fing what? There's TONS (trust me TONS) of people on here that publically state they're passing reps off as gens for various (mostly good) reasons. It's each to his own buddy..

Probably the best thing I've read today [MENTION=84501]QueTip[/MENTION] ! You are the real MVP :callme:

Actually it'd be quite funny if someone did this on a gen forum, but I don't want to draw too much attention to rep watches like that.
I do enjoy the trolling that goes on Instagram though on posers' accounts.

I know one guy in person and don't believe he wears original Hublot. He is constantly showing it on instagram, but there is not really a closeup shot. As I don't know very much about Hublot and even less about Hublots reps, which is that model on photo and what is the difference between rep and gen - will check in person. http://pho.to/A9E3p/ym
