Omega Posted August 2, 2009 Report Share Posted August 2, 2009 I think the blue faced is gen... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maxim Posted August 2, 2009 Report Share Posted August 2, 2009 I would say black is the gen, because it has the chrome rings around the subdials, which the reps don't have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxim Posted August 2, 2009 Report Share Posted August 2, 2009 Although.. AR on blue one here is better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unforunately you're not good informed my friend - only black (and white) face has the rings! Read, look and learn: HERE (be patient, the site is very slow...)

docblackrock Posted August 2, 2009 Report Share Posted August 2, 2009 The blue-purple tint on the AR crystal of the black dial one gives it away as the rep. Also, my eagle eye says the blue dial is just that tad bit sharper in detail (subdials) and the crown teeth look better defined. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capice Posted August 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2009 the black one is the gen.............Chiefs AR does it again, the 2 blue onse both with Chiefs AR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxim Posted August 3, 2009 Report Share Posted August 3, 2009 Wow so I actually was right! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega Posted August 3, 2009 Report Share Posted August 3, 2009 Wow so I actually was right! Yes and no! You was right - the black is gen, but your explanation (small chronos must have rings) was false! And BTW: One of the watches from the pics comes from me, so I knew the answer before...

ubiquitous Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 I love it... Chief's AR just makes the dial pop. Beautiful... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nevikwen Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 I would love to get a Tag heuer link! However what stopped me was the case back. The Gen link case back has a see through crystal and a like decorative rotor which the rep don't have. Plus what was mentioned previously, the rep link with black dial doesn't have the sliver subdial rings which the gen one does. I wonder when they will release a better version that fixes those small flaws by then I will definitely get a Tag Link Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
