PAM088 Rep vs Gen IRL

[Tim4682]

Isnt the brushed CG on the VSF 088 a confirmed dead giveaway of the rep?

Found this one with a brushed CG at Crown and Caliber lol…you can zoom in and clearly see its brushed and it has sharper edges. I dont have the eye for the other tells to determine if its rep, but wondering what you guys think:

Yup, reps are never perfect. The subdial looks wrong on it too (no circle pattern).

You dont ever expect to see a rep with such a massive flaw though being passed off as gen by a large known online retailer.

If that is indeed a rep theyre trying to sell for $6k theyre either cmpletely incompetent and didnt know its rep OR incredibly brazen and know its a rep and are actively scamming.
