so this one was and still is on my list . all black aquarracer , i knew it was going to be replicated couse the game is like that , anyways.
from the pics , things that i can say :

WE ALL KNOW THAT THE AQUARACER 500M IS ONE OF THE BEST TAGS (VERY SIMILAR TO THE GEN)

WATCH LOOKS REALLY GOOD, BUT!! IM SURE IT IS SS. AND NOT TITANIUM LIKE THE GEN. ( i dont care about that , id be amazing if it is actually titanium but lets c.)

the ar on the gen is better and looks like the green-yellow fluorescent markers are little off on the rep. (some one knows how to fix that? is it a problem ? or mods can do it??

the pvd looks more shiny on the rep. im not sure . and the magn date on the gen i think is more?? i dont know if im rite , maybe some one knows more than me .
ok guys thanks and enjoy the rep-gen pic.

You have to wonder how things like this get missed after they've spent so long getting everything else similar.

my theory is that the factories earn extra income by shaking down the gen companies. like if they throw a small detail they get paid by tag. proof? none.... great looking watch btw...

Looks terrific. The numbers on the bezel are slightly off- looking at the "2" "4" and "5", looks like the numbers on the rep need to be more stretched out (squattier). Color of the "Calibre" is the biggest tell. Otherwise, this looks real good to me.

Buy it Pec.

well to be honest since i saw the watch i just like how it looks , i dont care about the orange , i really care about how good it will look, for example i had the tag gran carrera the black one! and the quality was ok , but not even close to the gen , gen quality was much better and u could c it was an expensive watch , those things i care about

You hit a nerve there Pec! My 104 should have arrived in France by now. She's late and I'm waiting on a PM for conformation of arrival.

She should be on vacation for a lume job. I'm missing her.

1. The Tag logo on the crown isn't "glossy" enough (you could do it yourself easily), and it's "pointed" on the center
2. Tag Heuer Logo is brushed on the gen, while it's glossy/polished on the rep
3. 500M font spacing is incorrect
4. Rubber isn't flush on rep, while it is on gen.

things wrong on the stainless steel version.,

on the black, here's what i found out.
Titanium PVD case note being titanium.
titanium clasp (not PVD steel).
black date window + white font on gen, otherway around in rep.
white Calibre 5 is orange.
single sided AR crystal, none on rep.
frosted display back crystal on gen
crown has rubber on it
wrong bezel and green/yellow lume colour

=( yea.

i found out what's wrong with my watch AFTER i bought it sigh. it's even worse for me. that dial is going to kill me.

i'm dying to find out where to buy a gen dial + crown for this watch. it'd be perfect.

even with the 99.9% rule... "hey why is this not aligned?" hahaha
