I have a Damier Graphite Pegase 55 Business on the way from Ken - I'll post pics and a quick review when it arrives. Bought the LV Damier Graphite messenger bag and roadster about a year ago too and they have been abused and flown all over the world but have held up great. FWIW, I am in a position where it would be very, very, very embarrassing (and possibly career limiting) to be caught with reps and I feel very comfortable traveling with Ken's LV luggage. And I travel with lots of gen owners and have never gotten a second look.

For $178 its gotta be terrible.

I'll say the gen dial is incredible - a great upgrade but worth it - that depends. I have the Mark IV and it was $800 for the dial alone. Based on that while it looks amazing with a gen crystal - tough to say if is worth it though.

I saw someone wearing this yesterday - South Loop in Chicago. Hilarious.

Very cool - and very, very tempting. . .

Beautiful!

I think I read that someone on this board or another used flat black model paint, then put some clear nail polish over it for a nice finish.

Thanks for the update on the Euro - sounds like that might be the way to go. . .

After a lot of reading - is the WM9 the only Sub rep that will accept a gen crystal? I have a BKMariner, but the etched crown on the crystal is really annoying and I would love a good rep Sub that I could put a gen crystal on. I found the thread saying the Euro cannot take a gen crystal - but hopefully I am wrong on this.

Just wanted to say a quick hello from Chicago - spend most of my "rep" time on Rep Geek, but have found some good information here and really like this forum as well.
