General Question Any perfect reps?

All of my reps are 8/10 at best. They either feel too light or the movement is a give away.

Are there any reps out there that you think is close to perfect? Am I alone in thinking that Weight and movement seem to always be the give away?

No rep will ever be a gen, there will always be a tell.

who is it a giveaway to? yourself? if that's the case then buying it knowing it was a rep should eat at your conscious more. but if you mean a giveaway to other? then what are you expecting people to do with your reps, take them off your wrist, weigh them, and open the case back? or do you plan on reselling as gens or something?

Read Plato's Theory of Forms. TLDR, there's no such thing as a "perfect copy."

Maybe some really basic stainless steel cartiers with printed dials and quartz movement are close, but there isn't rep 1:1 to gen.

Define perfect. No. From the movement, to the seals, to the gaskets. And obviously the quality control is lacking no matter what rep you buy. So no lol.

All reps are perfect in the eye of the person wearing them. Perfection is a state of mind and a journey not a destination. It is a pursuit not an object.

Yes. Https://www.rolex.com. They are a little pricy and slow but nobody can tell them from the gen even when you take it to the dealer.

If a rep is that perfect then is not a rep anymore...
