Please bear in mind that the gen SEL are shorter than average Rep SEL, the lugbars on Gen look longer as on every rep. Always a detail nobody talks about. I could send you maybe my Gen bracelet for measurement if you are interested, just drop me a pm and we can discuss max
My experience is that you won't get it fit since its not a problem if proper fitting, its a Problem of the size of the crystal. I have the same issues.
A tw bezel is no better than wm9. Can't hear the stuff about tw best anymore......the tw cutouts are uncorrect to small, to...... This would not be an enhancement.
I will write a review soon hopefully. Here are my parts.
Sean Case
2824H4
Gen crown & tube
Gen 295 Crystal
Gen insert
New bk dial & hands
Currently the dial is in shaping process.
As my canadian friend Chi mentioned already that Others might have a different opinion on that case, i am one of them to me its not a 1:1 case because the specs are close but not accurate. But i would say that it is better than wm9 cases, doesn't matter what version.
To me the major flaws are that the bezel outter diameter is a tiny bit smaller and that the lugbars are polished a bit too much over the edge to the area where the Satin finish begins. It is more correct as wm9 as the Gen 16610t case has this as well but not so extended as the sean case. I do not believe that sa3135 will fit without further mods. The dial that comes with the case i am not using as to me it is not as good as a wm9 dial.
For checking the SEL fit i mounted testwise the bracelet of my Gen 16610. Nearly perfect fit. More when the watch is ready.
i wonder if it would be possible to buy a WSO aftermarket bezel and mount this to the 116520 rep ?

Anyone has experience with something like that ?to me important would be that
a) the wso bezel fits the rep case
the wso bezel is flatter than the rep bezel
anyone ?
Hello,
yes, nice watch but what I don´t understand is why to put a 16800 insert on it.....gen is nice, but please the correct insert to the correct watch otherwise your "franken" is a "fantasy"
Calm down mate, ppl want to help you here
The rehaut engraving was introduced in 2007 for Submariners. M series was used since August 2007. Late Z series in 2007 already start to have the rehaut engraving. So the M series should have the rehaut engraving on all models.
maybe "white lies" was a bit harsch from tribal, sure he didn´t mean it
I am really curious about this watch and what really makes me wondering is, why they haven´t replicated the bezel assembly ?
Since this dial looks like the noob LV dial I have a better idea, will send you a mail
