Is this Genuine? If it's not, is it a good Rep?

Hi, I'm kinda new to this hobby and wanted to ask the experts here. My friend is bragging with his new sub and he says it's genuine. What do you guys think?

The date magnification and the bezel looks off. Just my opinion.

Yup its gen. The mag issue is a qc problem that was going on for a few months. Funny thing is that we wouldn't even accept reps with that mag. But 100s of gen owners have accepted it. Smh

With friends like you who needs enimies? This is taking "is it real" to whole new lower level.

Both Watches are 100% gen you can see it clearly at the rehaut...
No Rep have these Shine...

So I had the same Maginfier at my SubC and I called the RSC and ask'd them how it could be that the Magnifier is wrong.
They told me it couldn't be... The SubC have all the same Magnifier...
So they told me to bring the Watch to the RSC and then they must check it... The best will be, they can't say me directly if the Magnifier is wrong or not. I must leave the Watch there for around 6-8 Weeks...

I ask'd them if they are Crazy? I could tell you that in a Second and the RSC can't ???

The RSC guys are mostley A....holes they didn't want that you nagging them with probs.
And if you try they will nagging you... They tell you shit like this...

I told that guy forgot it, I will swap the Crystal self and throw the one that is on the Watch into the Trashcan...

He told me I can't do that... I ask'd him why i can't do that? He means I need special tools for it...
I told him I have done this sooooo many Times and I know how it work...
He means anyway I must bring the watch to the RSC and then it would takes 6-8Weeks... And if they think the Crystal is right they wouldn't change it for free... Lol

I love Rolex... I had soooooo many Discussions already with them that I normally must sell all my Rolexes lol...

But maybe it's exactley like this what I like?!?? Lol the Cat and Mouse Game...

The RSC don't see any Watch from me... I do all the Services etc self...

So end of the Story is I have Swap the Crystal and all was good :)

So if you call RSC and tell them the Magnifier is wrong they will tell you the Wildest Story's... :D

Look at the coronet on the dial of the Hulk. It has a very small opening at the bottom. I think it's a rep.

Wow. That cyclops is terrible. I would have said replica. I cant believe a person would pay $8K for that. I think as replica collectors we have gotten too picky.

I'm no expert on Sub Cs but isn't the lettering in the insert rather white for gens?
