Well it's been two years and the rep is still going strong and I have received a lot of compliments on it. If you don't like the chrono version and are okay with a slightly smaller face (looks good on a smaller wrist) then this is a great rep.

Caseback Bracelet Date font (tried to get similar angle with same date set as shot of Gen above)

Well, the rep arrived yesterday. I think it may be from Ghetto's supplier as the bezel is polished and it also has the laser engravings on the bracelet and the 4 digit number on the underside of the watch case, in between the lugs. I am blown away by the quality (has a good quality "feel" to it), and I have to say the bracelet has almost as much appeal as the watch itself. The only (minor) flaws I am able to find are: 1) Perhaps a slightly different date font, although not "in your face" different 2) Crown on the rep has wider spaced ridges as you can see in the pics above 3) I have the white dial version and the model/serial number engraved on my rep's caseback is WJF2113 BA0570. I think it should be WJF2111 as stated above. I have another rep I recently received which is going to require spending an additional $400-500 if I want to get it to the same level of quality/Gen resemblance as this one is out of the box. I guess if I used chrono functions I would have gone for the big brother (asian 7750), but I also like that this one has a Swiss ETA 2824-2 under the hood.

Nice review! So good in fact that I went ahead and pulled the trigger on one of these. Not my typical style but I need something for the office that is subtle and will not get called out. I plan to take Rolexman's advice and get the bezel polished (considering taking only the bezel to a jeweler for polishing) as the pics of Gens I found all show a polished bezel. Anyone else have one of these?

Sorry I am not an expert so I hope you don't mind me replying. I think you should also consider whether the watch is chrono or non-chrono as I have read the chrono function places more stress on the movement for which the swiss eta may be better suited. Just my 2 cents.

Looks like I'm moving to China.

Beautiful. Well done!

Great thread. I think it's missing the point to say that people without money wear expensive jewelry and such. Also doesn't matter if the guy is a jerk or just doing his job. There are many jerks in this world and probably always will be. Point is, if you're wearing a watch that does not match your financial/social class then you should be prepared for it to be scrutinized. It's a good idea to know exactly how you're going to handle the situation (e.g. blow it off & walk away, get tough & macho, or concede & laugh it off) before it arises.

Hi, I would like one (1) for my Pam 048 w/ asian 7750. The date font on my watch is wimpy and weak, but the font on your dial is bold and beautiful. Definitely want one!

Hi, I am new to rwg and new to replicas as well. I have been lurking around a few weeks and have already learned a lot...although still a n00b. I appreciate the knowledge sharing that goes on here and just wanted to say hello.
