  1. Oh hold on a sec:

    If this is actual pics of the gen crown:

    IMG_2395.jpg

    It looks much more like the engraving on the right crown above to me? Wtf are the on about on repgeek? :D

    Edit: yep somewhere further down a page or two on that thread the one on the right is confirmed as gen! fcukin geeks :D

  2. Great pair ray, would love either one :)

    /

    Just to clarify with the rep crown: there was a bit of confusion over which was gen on the geek, the gen is actually the left in the pics above, it is the heavier engraved

    design. Some people immediately thought the right one which was thinner engraved was the gen and said it looked a little better cut in teeth and design, but it's actually on the left one.

    They are updating this on the prototype.

    I meant to link back to the original thread:

  3. Fantastic watch chief.

    Anyone else experience this or am I imagining things: the tc bezel teeth cut on both tc bezels I am looking at here is uneven...very very slightly, i guess it's down to factory variances, but about half way around both bezels they are nice and deep, and the other half not cut as strongly. It is very subtle and only reallly noticeable when looking very closely or via a loupe...which is not worth doing imo. I don't care about something like this in terms of vs gen, but just wonder if anyone noticed the same thing? Sorry I know this has nothing to do with chiefs sub, but just an observation with mine? ;)

  4. The slightly older one is very well documented around the forums, the newer one with roman numbers is very elusive, I'm surprised there is not more info, but frankly if it is based on the old (which it is) it seems highly unlikely they've ballsed it up too much, in fact they seem to have made some improvements (e.g. proper colour dw on the dark one etc)

    Here is some pics found of the old:

    ....and the newer one, in white, these are the only weak home pics of the rep I've seen so far?

    To me it looks very good? ...but would someone please buy it and put us out of our misery :)

  5. Those two classic smps, the 2254.50 and the 2531.80 that you have BT are the nicest versions imo. The more recent raised marker smps and also the newer ceramic are all a litttle too glossy and shiny for some reason, they are good looking watches but I also feel they lost something along the way. It's subtle but the originals with matte dials and painted markers had a much more sporty casual everyday look. The newer dials lost the nice matte waves and went more for shiny dials (as in the black bond) which makes them a bit more bling and showy and less iconic imo.
