Owning gens do not make me feel better about owning the reps, and vice versa.I own reps for a variety of reasons, and my experience with them is not dependent on the gens I own actually.I enjoy both worlds in different ways, and I do not proclaim judgement on rep owners, or gen owners. Its their own business what they choose to wear.Likewise, my choice of watches should be something that is personal.
Diff
entirely possible, as each person has a preference over what he finds "too big".. The same watch would look different on different wrists..
It all depends on what your own preference is mate. I saw the picture of the panerai on your wrist, looks good to me. The diver would look about the same size on your wrist.
Another related fact: you might find it difficult to purchase a diver V3 now.. it seems to be out of stock everywhere!
good luck matey!
Hey M, as stated, you would be able to take the diver on your wrist if you can take the panerai..
Sorry I can't help you with the case measurement as I am travelling currently.
I think this topic has been discussed and debated to death and at the end of the day, the gen wearers will still wear their gens, and the rep wearers their reps. So as I mentioned, to each his own, and lets judge ourselves if there needs to be any judging at all.
what about the position of the date cyclops? I actually told OP in a PM that the data cyclops on the gen crystal would not fit directly over the rep date wheel.. Was I incorrect? Or is there no cyclops? I have NEVER seen a loose gen ROO crystal and I am curious.
The color of the gold is close enough to satisfy visual inspection W... but you're right, the weight diff is to me an obvious tell.
But then again, when I have a RG ROO Rep on my wrist, it stays on my wrist!!
Thanks for your help. I was hoping to learn more about the model I am looking at, but I do not trust the seller. Like you mentioned, the pics could be gen, but the delivery could be altogether another kettle of fish.
Hey mate, from forums, ebay, and of cos personal contacts.. for this watch,I bought it complete off a member here. I understand that the parts for AP frankens are becoming increasingly scarce due to AP pulling the plug on the supply.. so you really need to keep your eyes peeled if you are thinking of going down this arduous road..it will be a tough on trust me.
