Hi There, welcome to the forum.

Not sure that I aggree with you. I've been reading all the threads that the guys here who are overly obsessed by tiny details have written since joining the forum. Honestly, I'm glad that they obsess, because it drives the rep makers to build a better product. But personally I just smile. I tend to buy decent quality reps in general, but I DO have some $100 dollar reps as well. I don't obsess about the tiny variations between my watches and gens, and I have NEVER, NEVER, NEVER, been asked if a watch was genuine. My advice is to pay attention to what the perfectionists have to say, because it will give you the knowledge you need to make an informed choice. But don't let it worry you. Buy and wear what you like, and enjoy the hobby.
