Ya i saw this one too and immediately thought it was a Rep. The pip is the single easiest tell, and his is conveniently missing, in a manner that is completely not common on that new of a watch (along with a scratch mark that suggests to me he did it trying to remove the pip). Then, all the photos are garbage quality that conveniently hides the dial print potentially being too flat and hole in the centre of the seconds hand. Finally, the hour Lume on the indices are too raised for my liking. That's a Rep tell for sure.

All this just left me very uneasy about the watch. Could it be real? Maybe. But there are just too many coincidences on this one for me to ever be convinced of its authenticity.

Yeah I saw that one and reported it to ebay... poor person who bought it has probably just wasted £1,400...

Still on 2k. The lume mismatch is obvious but I've heard a lot of feedback on gens looking like that in certain lightning.
