Just an excerpt from a random site that *I* found humorous, anyway...

Although some movements of fake watches can be rather rough, usually introduced in 600 dollars fakes, some Panerai replica watches can have some more accurate decorations which make it difficult to see the fake movement. Such fakes can cost from 800 till 1000 dollars but it is important to know that no matter how accurate the movement of a fake watch looks it still lacks the swan neck and the bridge modifications.

:biglaugh:

If I bought a "600 dollars fake" and it had what the author describes as a 'rough movement' in it I'd be pissed! I spend a LOT less than that and GET swan neck movements. :sub4me:

I here BK sell 384 dollars Rolex fake! Must be VERY rough movement in that case. Maybe in 800 til 1000 dollars the movement will be much less rough!

Actually it is much better for us that they think in such way about reps. We really don't want to much of their attention :)

Apparently the dealers don't care or they wouldn't be posting all those fancy sales reviews on YouTube for the world to see.

If they don't care, not sure we should either.

Better to be part of the solution rather than part of the problem. Who cares if they do it? They are just trying to get more business from more customers.

The more and more we expose reps, the less "valuable" the brand becomes. These days, even gen Rollies are given second glances and doubts, so why should we help turn the other brands into this as well?

Certainly the esteemed reviewer refers to the hard to source, higher quality, Italian made, Grade A, 1:1 reps.

The "esteemed reviewer" probably hasn't seen the A++++ grade reps, I hear those are almost as expensive as the gens ;)

The longer they continue to think that the better off the rep world is.

a funny story is when I got my first rep, a noob sub. I went to get the bracelet resized and I told the guy it's fake. He said he could tell straight away because of the weight of it, and that the best fakes come from cambodia. His assistant saw the serial number on the rehaut, saw that its automatic and also the crown etched on the crystal and I heard him whisper to the boss 'I think this ones real'. hahaha, half these people have no idea!!
