even the owner couldn't tel the difference at all and was starting to feel nervous about mixing up the watches!

Sorry for bumping an old thread, just landed on this thread and this comment made me chuckle. I would have been sweating bullets too lol, the mod'ed rep is that good next to it.

I recently got hold of one of these reps, cant believe I waited so long, beautiful watch, the biggest tell for me is the outer ring on the sub dials is more grey on the gen, barely tell a different on the rep, but as someone else said, unless you have them side by side you would never know, nice review [MENTION=64642]aflop[/MENTION] !

i think it is fine lines (literally) but i have noticed that on the gen, the AP logo and the waffle cut intercepts in the middle of the 'U' in Piguet. whereas on the rep, the interception occurs at the 'G' in Piguet. Have been comparing a few diff sites for JF and Gen pictures and videos. seem to be consistent throughout.
