vlydog Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 Thought this might be fun: I am surrounded by so many well-informed members with keen eyes that this might be too easy... Snapped this photo at dinner this evening with a cell phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HauteHippie Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 Well there's really not enough detail to say with certainty... But I'm going with rep and rep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jkay Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 Well Im just a freakin newb but the guy in the jacket could drive a bus thru the gaps between the end links and the lugs of his watch. Also, hard to tell in the phone camera but the pearl on the left seems a lot better than the one on the right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShawnBeever Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 Detail is a bit poor, but I will stick my neck out and say the one on the left is gen and the one on the right is a rep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hexagram Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 I would say left is rep, right is gen. Both look great in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ammandel Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 One on the right looks gen to me. I'd even go as far as to say it looks like it has the gen 'finish' and shine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apowers Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 I think it's simply impossible to tell with such pictures. Proof is : the given answers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danzeman22 Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 left rep right gen 95% sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubiquitous Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 Look at the details, folks. The hands, the markers (shape, finish, lume color)... Bezel teeth, etc. Fit, finish and the fine details. Speaking of details; someone's watch is either 5 minutes fast or 5 minutes slow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smc Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 Well, the pic doesn't make it easy but I'm going to say gen left, rep right. Go figure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nite Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 left rep right gen 95% sure. +1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watcher Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 I would say left is a gen watch but a few years old. Not sure on the right watch but the crown looks too big and has end link gaps but the lustre is that of a gen so not 100% sure on that one.

freddy333 Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 Detail is a bit poor, but I will stick my neck out and say the one on the left is gen and the one on the right is a rep. Ditto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HauteHippie Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 I initially said rep and rep... But if either one is gen, it's the left. The reason I said rep initially for the left one is that I think the date font is slightly too large, similar to the date wheel overlay used on the noobmariner. So maybe a rep with some gen parts. Again, though, hard to tell. These things have gotten very good over the years!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vlydog Posted August 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 OK, I guess it is due time that I chime in. Left is the gen; purchased about eight years ago. It belongs to a friend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
