Some things you may want to add:
1. There are NO Japanese, Italian, or swiss reps. ALL reps come from China. Some reps do have eta movements in them, but even these are purchased in pieces and assembled in china. The scam sites tell you there are swiss and jap reps to get you to spend more. Most of the current rollie sub reps with an eta movement you can buy for $130-250.
2. The date font on most currently available reps is correct.
3. Date mage is still an issue, but getting very hard to detect to the untrained eye.
4. Case stickers on the new reps are correct.
5. Crown guards are still a good indicator, but removing the back and checking the movement is best.
