Yes, a lot of reps starts off as Quartz.

Lol. No. Not IWC.

And the rep looks rather bad, with its quartzish subdials.

Even if they start off as Quartz, they don't say "Quartz" instead of "Automatic" as this fake does. The thing that really got me to burst out laughing was how extremely tiny the subdials were and how they should be cutting off the 6 and the 12 numbers

Mmmh, story sounds fishy.

Could well be a rep aficionado taking the piss.
