PO gen vs rep, impressive!

[mtlhabs]

Got my PO rep in the mail yesterday, here are some shots vs my gen. Really close! Its impressive.

Spot the fake

The black bezel is the genuine. The blue AR on the orange model is what I noticed.

Orange is rep.

 

[Seifert]

I think the date window is a little bigger on the black, so i would call that out for being the gen. Also the blue AR. But it is absolutely ridiculous how good they have become. It's the 42mm right?

Agreed the orange is the rep, the He valve is too long, and I am wearing the same one on my wrist. Getting quite close though.

the gen guys are even having a hard time telling a fake now it seems

Thanks for posting this thread. It is so helpful. Rep points to ya!

Looks like the rep pearl is too large to do a pearl swap. The Gen pearl has a smaller diameter I think.

I'm totally guessing, but I would say the orange one was the REP because of the date wheel being smaller... This is just a WAG (Wild A@@ Guess) though... It is darn close though... Thanks for sharing.

The 5th generation, I assume? Where from?

Thats right, i have it right in front of me and that cant be done... So gen bezel or better insert which i am going to follow...

Orange for sure is rep. Even crown looks slightly longer.

Well nothing gets passed you guys! Orange is indeed rep. I noticed it runs really accurate so far, as accurate as my gen. The feel is really close too, but the finishing on the gen is better (obviously). The intensity of the lume is close, but the rep dies out much faster. Before I joined the forum, there is no way I would be able to tell it was fake!

edit: yes it is the 42mm

What version and from whom did you get it?

 

[mtlhabs]

Got it from replicamake, i think its the 4th gen version...

 

[If you see Kay]

yah orange one indeed the rep. OMEGA text a bit too low.

Got it from replicamake, i think its the 4th gen version...

I'm thinking 5th gen... The crowns are smaller on the 4th gen, and it had happy feet...
