ALE, thanks for your reply brother. Since we know the only purpose they make reps is to make $$$ it only makes sense they would use the cheapest quality products they can find, taking into consideration the watch is only being made to look the part and never perform as a gen.
Now we all know the claims of sapphire glass have been lies for a very long time, the claims of made from gen as sample another lie, takes and fits gen parts another lie. Dealers like to use the term super rep, which of course means we pay a super premium while the whole time the clasps break, pins and screws snap, strip, and break, bracelets have super rough edges, links don't move freely, crowns snap off or don't screwdown, the list is endless. Yet people will pay that premium because they think or have been convinced that this or that rep is superior. Its really all a shell game and alot of it depends on the willingness of the buyer to believe the lies being told.
