I bought a H factory rubber strap just to get used to my PAM005K which i ordered.
Didn't realize how nice it looks on my PAM111H
Sorry for the crappy BB shot
Have a nice day

According to all the posts on this topic it's as close to gen as you can get.
The rubberstraps that i had didn't collect dust apart from the
10 dollar strap i bought from eBay.

In the beginning my drsd had a T Clarks T39 with the mbw insert and that fitted perfectly.
I later changed the insert to a PMWF and the crystal to domed gen tropic also without any problems.
Either your crystal doesn't have the right dimensions ( outher diametre )or the mbw bezel dimensions changed during time.
Let's wait what the experts have to say

It's all a matter of taste and perfection ( and the amount of money you want to invest )
For the crystal i would go for the gen cause IMO there is a huge difference in clarity between reps and the gen.
As for the insert a gen is certainly very nice but a PMWF insert with an Offrei pearl does the trick also.
I have both insert in my MBW and i can't tell the difference from a distance of 30 cm.
I never had a gen bracelet so i can't give you my opinion on that one.
Keep us updated on the progress of your project.
