I don't like doing that BUT each and every time a fake B&R gets sold as a gen B&R get more and more pissed off. They were really not pleased; it's the first time I've seen B&R getting really concerned over the reps usually they tolerate them like breitling do.....

People must surely know they're not buying gens for that money, though, surely!! so you'd hope it wasn't seen as 'damaging the brand' as they're so blatantly fakes.

They may not believe it at any gen HQ but none of us (rep or gen lovers) wants to see reps sold as fakes, it's bad for everybody.

+1 buy a rep knowing its a rep is one thing, palming them off as real needs a hard kick in the n*ds to the seller

actually I have a couple of questions about rep B&R is the cannon pin on a pvd supposed to be dark too and what is the correct screws supposed to look like? Did they make aviations without screw backs?

Are those lugs right?
Sorry went a bit post mad after I read Smidys rep vs gen review.

Looking forward to being corrected on these if I'm wrong

 

[SMIDSY]

dear g-d... right I'm on it....

120704257665, 390301733397, 110593244872 reported the 03-94 looks ok to me.

yup that 03-94 looks legit to me so that's fine the lugs are correct for an 03-94 wrong on an 03-92

 

[AskMeAgain]

Thank you for the heads up. No harm intended and I appreciate you looking out for me. I have ended the listing and I will open the watch on Monday morning and get to the bottom of this.
Thank you
