  1. From the Factory:

    Just arrived from the Southern SPA:

    Relumed and AR'ed.........

    Pressure tested to 10ATM!

    J's work is always impeccable......his AR Service is amazing, I just wish he does the Date Mag X-TAL, too! IMHO; it has to be done on this watch!

    and here's the twist......I ordered a GEN APDiver Rubber Strap for it.......some comparison shots:

    Top is REP:

    Bottom is REP:

    Side by side: Gen is on the RIGHT......

    Another Tell is the groove....the Gen comes to an end while the Rep flows out.....

    The REP Manufacturers have done an excellent job on their strap....it's pretty close, and you have to have it side-by-side to tell the difference

    as you can see from the pictures. The Telltale signs from the outside is the density of the Rubber Material. If you look at it sideways, the thickness

    is also noticeable....the REP is slightly thicker. The feel is also different, the GEN is stiffer and seems tougher than the Rep. Some people might

    actually prefer the REP due to it's softness and pliability.

    Is it worth the $200+shipping cost, maybe? At least you know you have at least half of a GEN on your wrist!
