ok. the version i seen at AD today, was : Polished sides and guess what??? Clasp finish is the same as we used to see at Ingy and the same as makers made for us, bezel click, feel, finished and quality 100% the same.
do anybody know how the pusher at '2' work on a gen? is the whole thing going down like on a rep. to the case or just a top part? BTW Chiefs pic showing also that the rep.clasp(pic below) is different finish than a gen, same thing as Ingys. good find!
Edit: If anybody interested in buying gen clasp, it is 400Euro, just checked :lol:
i like brushed finished much better than polished, but like i said this brushed case is not done right, polishing is easy job for any jeweller and probably not very expensive, Slevin look like it is just cuted from the metal piece without any proper work on the sides, i'm going to make my watch like this:
i sold mine ss version and that was very stupid, ss is very well made rep. chrono verion is even more accurate, but sooner or later you will have problems with the movement, both mods for this one are mandatory.
i don't like quality of the brushed case anyway, that was the first thing i notice, part of gen. are brushed for sure, but finish is way better than a rep.
edit.
This is chrono and look polished, but not sure
browsing the web i found brushed only, but i visited 2 ADs and i seen only polished at 2 of them, so maybe its just depends of a production year, i will go there with my camera this week, only if they allow me to take shot i will
Even if this going to be same story like Slevin "neverending story", it is still worth to wait, we did wait for the slevin and the result is great (mine was with issues, but in general people are very happy of it) so i can wait
the problem with one i have at home was that the pusher jumped off when it was lying on the desk, brand new, never seen any wrist time,what if such a thing happend when you are on the street or a car??!!! Better check if they sit tight. You dont want to loose them
when i saw HBB first time i was shocked about that quality, then i though that in this case genuine got to be out of a space, but no!!! now i understand why HBB guys are so [censored] off
hahah i was looking for the same button, great review, btw i seen at ad genuine limited edition with white ceramic, brushed bezel, and got to say that clasp, finished and feel is the same as a rep!!!, i couldnt see how the movement look, becouse that was closed caseback
