Question regarding Aquaracer Reps

[alphascan_tv]

Is it just me or do other folks agreel that the 'feel' of a Aquaracer rep does not come close to a Gen?
I have an Aquaracer Calibre S gen which I love. I bought a rep, the Aquaracer Automatic Chronograph Day-Date (from a TD) which is a 'super rep' and while it looks just the gen it does not feel like it. The bracelet especially is very light, sharp on the edges and not as nice (sorry for all the fuzzy adjectives) And the dial looks exactly like the gen but it does not have that 'wow' factor even comparing it to a smplee non-chrono, quartz, Aquaracer Gen (again, sorry for the fuzzy words)

I gave up my pursuit for the 'perfect' Rep and went on to buy a used Aquaracer grande from ebay and guess what, it was a rep! And I found out as it perfectly matched up with my previous observations regarding reps.
I then went on to find lint in the dial and one of the markers was slightly mis-aligned (I have to admit that it was a really nice rep, perfectly believable in appearance but it did not wear like a gen) Needless to say, I returned it and got a full refund.

I'd love to hear from others here.

I absolutely love my new 500M Aquaracer from Marvellous.

Members on other replica forums have reviewed this watch and compared it to Gen - very close in their opinion.

I tend to agree.
