i just got my gen lv, some first impressions compared to a modded wm9 v2 rep( gen insert, clark crystal, removed rehaut engravings, smooth bracelet edges), without thinking about price etc..
- overall both watches seem to be comparable in terms of quality, plus gen lv even felt cheaper out of box and bracelet sides sharper!
- i just found a quick way to tell between rep or gen, gen movt sounds very different than the eta of wm9, rolex movt has some kind of chimming sound...
-bezel on gen is much tighter and overal looks more "complete", also the clasp is noticably better quality.
- firstly lets keep it short, gen sub overall better quality and better fitted, but rep is very very close
pics will follow soon
here is one, sry about bad quality
