No, is is the new 200 mm PO!
Actually, I think it is the 42mm but you really have to ask Fakemaster. I don't spend much time on the details anymore since I have found that the better reps are accurate enough. Rather than try to remember all the details or look for all the "tells" I have moved on to the second category of rep collectors. See, I think there are two categories of rep collectors.
1. The "exact counterfeit guys." These are the people who obsess over details lost on 99% of people who see the watch. Are the crown guards exactly right? etc. Perhaps 80% of the members of RWI are now in this group. it is good, it is fine. But it has sort of already served its purpose to me. We can find the better reps and the Chinese are now producing many reps that are good enough right out of the box.
2. The "beauty and art guys." This is me. I don't care if the crown guards are "perfect." I just want to have, use and celebrate lots of great watches. They don't have to be perfect counterfeits. In fact, I think they are all the more interesting if they are unique; taking available rep parts to produce something different and beautiful.
There are plenty of reviews explaining in great detail which reps are the best counterfeits. That is fine, I use those like anyone else to get good reps. But then I leave it alone and just try to photograph the beauty which is there in that watch without trying to find or obsess over all the flaws. Here is a comparison, if you have a good and beautiful woman, enjoy her. Celebrate the beauty she does have and don't degrade your enjoyment by constantly looking for every pimple or wrinkle. Fair enough?
