Dogma

Nice looking watch Laz, but this Gen appears to have the some misalignment flaws. I'm talking about the misalignment of the 12,3,6,9 tick marks with the lumed square/triangle and the non-equal spacing of the printed ring relative to the rehaut. This infuriates me on my rep, but on a gen I'd go bonkers.

This is the Asian SOSF I received this morning from Ruby, a nice watch for the money. I tried on the gen at an AD last week and the only major let down with the rep is the bracelet. If I were you I would order a croco strap to go with it as the bracelet it comes on is stiff, noisy and has a tinny clasp, pretty poor compared to a real Pro II bracelet.

Thanks for the welcome. I'll probably go with your recommendations and get the SOSF in black. If it is advertised as Swiss ETA, will it require servicing when I get it, or should it be reliable as it is?

Hi, I've finished uni and now want a premium watch. I thought I was crazy for obsessing over pictures of rep watches but after reading around the forum I've decided to go with a rep or two before eventually taking the plunge with a gen. The gens I'm interested in are the PO and the black SMP so these two are straight on the rep list, but now I'm thinking damn, why not get an SOSF too? I gather this is normal behaviour around here so I guess I'll fit in nicely. For someone that needs a bit of reassurance that these reps are not going to have people calling me out on my watch would you guys recommend the UPO or the SOSF as the first purchase? Cheers, Kris
