Which is gen?

[timnic54]

Completely agree, but do you care if the movements are clones/same design as genuine or just that they're reliable and accurate?

I *think* the copied movements in my reps are reliable and I know they're accurate (to less than 10 seconds per day), but almost all of them have a crappy feeling, borderline unreliable crown function (though none have actually failed) which makes them questionable in my head as to whether/when they're going to quit. I'd be happy with a Seiko movement in a Rolex rep, but I'm one who never understood the fascination with in-house movements.

I have sent two gen GMTs back to Rolex for unreliable crown (keyless) functions, one of which did actually fail.

It’s a gen with slightly misaligned rehaut crown

 

[BirkinTourbillon]

Gen or Rep

I would say that it’s a gen. The Rehaut printing is crisp, plus the CHS too. And in overall it screams gen LOL

i would say:

fake, gen, fake, fake, fake, fake, fake

But i have no idea about Tudor and Panerai (woulld never wear them lol)

 

[BirkinTourbillon]

I would say that both of the DJs and the Tudor GMT are Gen whilst the rest are reps. But I could be wrong too, could not seem to be able to see clearly from the pics as in the case of the SuperOcean.

I'd guess the one on the left is genuine and the right is a replica - the date looks funny to me and it looks over magnified.

 

[Saylle]

both are reps

 

[Hakai]

both reps, lelft has gen datewheel tho

 

[FiliGelli]

both reps, lelft has gen datewheel tho

The left one is gen 16610 2010 last butch...
the right one is a jf 16610

Shit... ! But that shows how good reps actually are nowadays. A noob will never be able to distinguish even next to a gen.

I like this game :woo:

Here's a simple one. Which of these three clasps is genuine, which is from TC and which from JF.

Left to right TC Gen JF

Left to right TC Gen JF

No match.

 

[timnic54]

No match.

That's how good reps have become. They are tighter than the variation from one Gen to another

 

[71bucks]

rep, tc, gen

You probably focused more on the brushing. When I photographed the clasps, the focus was on the crown. That's why I wouldn't pay too much attention to the brushing. Based on the crowns, the answer should be relatively clear (at least for the gen).

rep, tc, gen

I like that you distinguish between TC and Rep

Any other suggestions? The solution will be revealed later.
