A rep is a rep anyway, franken or not. There are different points of view concerning the rep : some people are really looking for improvements and don't need an approbation. I think they are happy to share their photos and it's totally normal on a forum. As you said, each one has his own level of requirement but steel is steel and the difference between the gen and the rep is much less than the difference of price tells.

Yes indeed. As long as you enjoy your watch, it is a good one. You can feel free to view and treat it like a gen privately, its nobody's business. But the moment its posted and OP's view put on it, for example, a stock 15500, with the comment, "most gen like watch ever", then it becomes subject to everyone's input, with some agreeing, and some not.
I also agree with you that the modern AP reps are decent enough for real life wear. They present very good value for a few hundred dollars!

They are "identical" ....
The difference is not in the size it is in the texture, the colors, the way it reflects light ...., except the pattern everything is different ....

Replica dials are make of plastic and painted in a way that matches what they perceive the genuine dial to look like and there is variation among batches. Genuine dials are the original thing, they set the standard. From sunburst to finish to white gold markers and hands, just the having a dial that’s similar to the genuine doesn’t mean much. Any watch is a sum of its parts meaning the other parts affect the overall look of it irregardless of the dial. Genuine Dials also have variations so basically if there is a color the replica factory got right it will probably match a color the AP has also made sometime in the past, but approximately, so don’t get caught up too much on if the dial is close to the gen. It’s a replica and they’re totally different things ffs.

all that to say the dial doesn’t matter as much as people think it does. Putting a genuine dial in the watch isn’t going to solve anything from a genuine looking perspective except show the wearer how bad the replica hands quality is lol.

Not sure if I got you right.
Sure the dial is completely different...
We were talking about the size of the pattern which is identical... of course the dial is an instal tell, specially on this watch ....


PS: Even if I think on a rep Rolex you 'll be more in trouble to say the same ...
