I’m no expert and I’m very new to all of this. But…these look very similar to me. Am I wrong? Don’t rio me…I don’t know what to look for.

I feel like even most gen owners wouldn’t see the differences. I think rep owners are more knowledgeable because they’re looking at every little detail to see how accurate a copy is.

Do you think the average gen owner knows as much about all of the details?
There you go, plus the franken wrist shot under low light without auto focus sharpness of camera that still shows the defined subdials that are slightly larger , fonts and indices .

In rep you get a full square under subdial , in gen half a square under subdial!

I did notice that…but WHO will see that when it’s on your wrist?

I'm curious how many of you actually test your watches for water resistance? Unfortunately, I sold my testing device because my wife wasn’t thrilled about the space it took up. So now I’m left with the good old trial-and-error method… not exactly ideal.

I’ve never had issues with Rolex reps in the past, but this particular chronograph makes me a bit nervous due to its construction. Has anyone here tested the water resistance on this rep? I know each piece can vary, and there's no guarantee, but maybe there’s a general trend or common experience worth sharing?


Finally got a few minutes to test mine to 3 ATM. It passed without issue, although like all chronographs, it wouldn't be my first choice to intentionally take swimming. Here's a gif of the rest.

I think we have spoken at length regarding the dial. But anyone have any opinion on the crystal? I feel the Ao crystal is indeed next level and I am not sure how good teh rep one is? Though I have heard from a couple of modders that it's very good. Anything else out there which is a must to swap out?

Had it already been crooked before shipping or might it have been tilted during the delivery?
Could be heat and shock dislodged it. Hope bro used a good reliable dealer to accept return and not peeled stickers yet. Nothing else to do.
