Franck Muller Vegas - Is it a Super Rep?

Recommended Posts

DallasGTA

There are some pretty sweet FM reps out there. One of my favourites is the Crazy Hours, but I understand it is not considered a "Super Rep" because its font is not exactly the same as the genuine article (please correct me if I'm wrong about this).

 

My question is - Would the rep of the Franck Muller Vegas be considered a Super Rep. A picture of my rep is below:

Please help educate me on why this is or is not considered a super rep.

 

Thanks as always!

Paging elloello lol

You can always compare photos of gens vs your rep. I would start looking at the "1"s (I believe the 1s were different... at least on the crazy hours)

Here's a comparison of the replica and genuine:

They look pretty similar to me (including the "1"s).

Numbers also appear a lot thicker on the gen

And yes the rep works if that's what you meant

One of the first times that a Rep has thinner numbers than a Gen.

Looks nicer I think.

Numerous and obvious differences preclude the 'Super Rep' accolade

 

But never the less a fun (and seldom seen) rep

Here's a pic of a Franken Vegas with a Gen dial. I got this for a mate from Ello Ello.

Super-rep or not. Who cares? It's a nice-looking (and rarely seen) watch. Same goes for the Crazy Hours. Enjoy it! :)

 

Few people will know the gen well enough to tell whether it's a rep or not.

 

Even fewer will care

 

If the watch is well built, looks decent and works, I really don't give a damn whether it's a "super-rep" or not. Life is too effing short. If I like it, I wear it! ;)

Gen dial build video with working roulette I had a few years back

 

 

 

 

Rep dial video worth working roulette

 

the only thing with rep Vegas a lot of the Vegas roulette hands are misaligned so I done a lot of realignment on them , they are great fun watches so don't worry about super reps etc because Greg is spot on because most people wouldn't have a clue ;)

I do love a good FM....

 

But yeah I echo Gregs comments... Who cares?... Rep or super rep, its still a rep. But unless you are alongside a gen, or with someone who knows the brand inside out. Nobody is going to really give two hoots.
