plaifender Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 Haven't heard a lot of talk on here about this particular model but Andrew told me that it will soon be coming out.. also available with steel bracelet: Not my cup of tea at all.. but maybe some of you chunky lovers will get a kick out of it! (then again who knows.. my taste may change!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plaifender Posted February 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 This one will only be available in the shown black dial. They're still not sure when it'll be released (big surprise) but Andrew said it would be sometime "soon"... Interesting piece.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanuq Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 Holy smokes, a 'Prof on mesh would be enough to push me over the top again. Warm up the plastic, boys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FxrAndy Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 I tried on the Gen in UK over christmas and to be honest i am not a fan of the case shape but the thick Milanese bracelet was just perfect for that watch and others Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lanikai Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 I like the positioning of the crown and the chrono pusher.. so cool.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MADRED7 Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 I am all over it....hope the factories do it right. The caseback needs to have a real good, deep and crisp engravment. The orange push-button should be functional as it only indicates that you can turn the bezel (orange out) or the bezel is save for not turning (orange in / pushed) The bezel itself should also get a decend blue lume as well as the dial. This watch looks easy from far away but shows some nice details when you inspect it closer. WAITING Theo EDIT....and don´t forget the complicated crown-safety-system Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catboy Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 love this watch, but would much prefer a good rep of the original.. does the new version have the clever crown system of the original? I thought it jhust had a standard crown with a guard over the top of it?.. if it does have the correct screw out crown like the old one then it's just gone up in my list about 10x gimme-gimme Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tech Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 I had the chance to wrap a gen around my wrist recently and this watch is just pure coolness....I wish I had the funds to get one....really looking forward to the rep. +1 for the SINNful sig above this post! yummy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catboy Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 what can i say; i saw a group of asian girls with sinn written over their chests and i just had to share when you tried on the gen did you notice the crown/guard at all? on the old ploprof you turn the "crown" which slides a square section of the "crown-guard" to the outside of the "crown" outwards from the case.. this square piece is actually the crown, and not the round wheel which looks like the crown.. from the images ive seen of the 1200m the guard piece around the crown wheel looks solid, like say a panerai without the lever, with the crown wheel almost fully inside it you can maybe see what i mean about the square section of the "crown guard" in the photo below..

FxrAndy Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 On this one when you unscrew the crown the whole CG section moves back with the crown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catboy Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 so the round wheel is actually the crown on this watch?.. thats a shame; i always through the linear crown movement into the seals was a clever system (similar to a panerai) versus screwing into the seal.. (spot the hydraulic system designer ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catboy Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 just found this review of a gen; very interesting and great photos; shows the crown system too (which is why i initially read it) possibly useful for comparisons once the rep arrives.. clicky i really hope they hit this one on the head straight out the box, and we don't end up with 5 or 6 versions like some other diver watches before we get something accurate but then there's a synical side to me that thinks "hy would they.." here's hoping! b Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plaifender Posted February 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 Personally i like the old blue dial version. The new version Gen and rep are only available in black dial now. This is a semi-reissue.. but looks like they changed it pretty substantiallly based on catboy's pic of the old version.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
