eternalexpat 0 Posted October 3, 2019 So much no. The movement in particular - it's as if they didn't even try to make it look right. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pennywise 29 Posted October 4, 2019 (edited) First this particular model is long out of production so you wont run into that many but here are some things to look for that are signs of a rep Bezel pip/lume dot is off center on rep Rep movement has blue screws in it Rotor on the gen is marked 1164 Rep subdial hands are too short On the gen the end pieces are marked 826 and the bracelet bridge is marked 1504/826, the rep doesnt have markings on end piece and bracelet bridge is usually 1503/824 Lume plots on gen are painted on and not chrome framed as the rep is Here are some better pics, caseback and movement Gen movement is very decorated and has a serial number top pic is rep end pieces on bracelet, bottom pic here is ge Edited October 4, 2019 by Pennywise Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
brang1 3,941 Posted October 4, 2019 gotta give him points for "balls" actually taking pics of the movement etc and opened up Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pbwatch 248 Posted October 4, 2019 Lume plots on gen are painted on and not chrome framed as the rep is Not correct as this is replicating the updated model with marker rings and updated dial fonts with metal Omega symbol and ‘Omega’ introduced astound 2007.

pbwatch 248 Posted October 4, 2019 You are missing the point bud. It’s a fake so obviously it is not correct! I was just making the point that there is a version with metal rings and metal Omega logo, the 2225.80 which this rep was a copy of when released.

Alan32 783 Posted October 4, 2019 I have not been in this world of reps ( which gets a lot of stick from outsiders) very long but I am impressed that everyone seem to be hellbent to ensure that any “escapees” to the real world are stamped on quickly and hard! its nice to see such integrity in a non-genuine world Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pbwatch 248 Posted October 5, 2019 Obviously but then it’s not really a 178.0514 as it caseback is wrongly stamped as it’s a rep!Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
