Very nice replica you have there Beepok. What's the going rate for the 3777 reps now? USD350?

Consperm is a rep?? How to tell?

Just sharing what I can see.

12 3 6 9 markers are thicker than usual.

Day window is deeper than date window.

Edit: i think day deeper than date is normal.

thats all I can see.

Another usual place that will picha lobang for reps is the buckle or clasp.

I wont deem as rep unless proven.

And if its a rep, its really AAA+A LOL

 

[Paladium]

Can someone help me post? My pcw not enuff

back up your claims bro

The 3, 6, 9, 12 markers on your 3777 looks similar to those on a rep dial which are taller and more right-angled that those on a gen dial.

Of course there is the possibility that I may be wrong. There are 3777 owners in this thread perhaps they could chime in.

If I'm proven wrong I will apologize, if I'm right, perhaps you may want to keep it within the rep forums lah. I'm not super against reps but there may be people here who are.

If you bought this unknowingly, better find the seller asap.

Gen dial on left, rep dial on right.

the whole rep game is huge in other parts of the world.
they are really super-rep. using swiss ETA or Seagull movement.
the difference is really very negligible.

i am also not against rep la. it's quite interesting how the china people can replicate the same thing as the swiss in terms of external outlook.
one thing they cannot replicate is the movement.

sometimes what we pay for isn't the finishing of the whole watch but the internal workmanship like the movement and also branding and marketing.

a super rep pam 005 = 350USD
a gen pam 005 = 5000USD
both using swiss ETA. lol

eh but mine gen hor! hahaha got proof!

China Gen? HAHAHAHA

Joking.

Seen before a super rep pam, only prob was the 6 Marker and the buckle. other than that its all fine. damnn.

 

[dazzleboy]

I noticed the bracelet too

But you guys are power! Sharp eyes on the markers

 

[Lurker_13]

Very educational! scary sia all the rep nowadays...

Also not sure if the material used is different... the one posted by Henabi, the material for the lug and the case like more matte looking?

 

[Henabi]

it is indeed very educational...plus, this is one area of knowledge which is extremely important too, especially when alot of us in this thread do buy from Grey.

maybe next time I can snap some photos of a super-rep PAM which my friend just bought for fun from Guangzhou China.

and let you bros here spot the difference...

The bracelet does not give it away as a rep. SEL fitment is very tight, the bracelet is not an issue. There is no gap, it's cause the watch was too tight on my wrist, I need to add one more link. The markers issue is correct, well spotted. There are 2 tells on this watch. The triangle, 3,6,9 indices look like thick stickers on the rep, but are painted on the gen. The pinions connecting the hands on the chrono subdials is brass on the rep, while silver on the gen. There is no recessed datewheel, again this is another wrong claim that it's a rep. The pinion issue is extremely hard to notice, unless you know where to look, it's difficult to spot it. Actually, the embossed circles on the subdials are slightly deeper on the rep, but you won't be able to tell unless you put it beside the gen. This rep needs a gen dial in order to become indistinguishable to gen, after a gen dial transplant it would be around S$1000. Cheers, you can ask me more questions should you have further enquiries.

Which model? haha there is a entire forum based on rep comparison. can just google.
Some people buy gen and rep just to compare and have fun around.
I do read those forums for educational and recreational purposes.
very interesting.
it makes you wanna buy one and just see how well they are made at 1/10 of the price of the gen. lol

the omega liquid metal planet ocean actually won rep of the year 2013. LOL.
its darn well made.

China Gen? HAHAHAHA

Joking.

I tell you bro, china gen.

give you the gen and rep i confirm you cannot tell without much scrutiny.

Those are super rep. not those lousy knock off KL market reps.
300-500 USD one.
Proper finish with a choice of china movement similar to ETA or Swiss ETA.
The lume is solid too.

some more those model with close caseback, totally cannot find differences.
probably only the locking clasp of pam maybe a dead give away because i read that it isn't as tight as the gen pam.

Ooo I wanted to see which eagle eyed member is able to distinguish it

actually the first link part should be welted together and the links movable should be after the 2nd link.
since you're talking about the bracelet.
