There are just some reps that can't be replicated very well.
The Superocean Chrono is one of them - i've had the gen myself and it's the one watch that i really, really, regret selling.
I had the exact same watch as you and it just oozed class - crisp chrono pushers, Pro II quality bracelet.
Im not even going to get the rep so i've got this watch again.....it just wouldn't be as good despite me really wanting it again - i'll just get a gen when im ready and funds allow.
