By-Tor Posted February 23, 2010 Report Posted February 23, 2010 I will make a rep vs. gen review later... but here's a quick wristie of my new blue.
hiker01 Posted February 23, 2010 Report Posted February 23, 2010 DAmn B-T! New Boy..............now a new GEN Fish? This must be your year! Congratulations!
wheaton26 Posted February 23, 2010 Report Posted February 23, 2010 very nice ... congratulations! i like the blue dial best on this model as well. all the best.
Mickey Padge Posted February 23, 2010 Report Posted February 23, 2010 Very nice, the older version, with the square second hand tip!
By-Tor Posted February 23, 2010 Author Report Posted February 23, 2010 Thanks Gentlemen. Appreciated... I'm really happy to finally have it. Added another wristie which shows the dial even better. I try to make some decent studio shots for the review. But the problem is, we have the table where I keep my lightbox full of baby eqipment.
ubiquitous Posted February 23, 2010 Report Posted February 23, 2010 Congrats, BT! I know you've been chasing this one for a while now. And you've finally got it! Looking sharp! So, having had the rep and now the gen, what are your overall impressions of the rep?

So, having had the rep and now the gen, what are your overall impressions of the rep? Thanks my friend. I will try to address all the details in my review. The rep is amazing. The black one, that is. Blue version isn't even close. It's like completely different watch... the dial is SO different. Don't get me wrong, I loved the blue rep. But it's totally different kind of "violet" blue. Gen is greyish, turquoise. First wrist shot shows it perfectly.
dluddy Posted February 23, 2010 Report Posted February 23, 2010 Big congrats on finally landing the Fish BT It's a beauty
Mickey Padge Posted February 23, 2010 Report Posted February 23, 2010 I know exactly what you mean, it was the same for me with the white dial rep/gen. The rep dial was a sterile white, the gen was a lovely cream colour, a major difference, hence I sold the rep
Bike Mike Posted February 23, 2010 Report Posted February 23, 2010 Congrats! The Blue SOSF goes great on blue Pro Diver as well as blue leather/croc strap. Very versatile piece. You will notice that the rep dial is very flat and does not have the "light bowties" that reflect through the gen.

The rep dial was a sterile white, the gen was a lovely cream colour, a major difference, hence I sold the rep Yes I know. Major, major difference which the pictures can't even capture. But the black rep is SO amazing. At least mine, which has perfectly applied lume dots. The lume dots are too protruded on the rep, however, and a tiny bit too green. Gen lume dots are flat and almost recessed. You'll see when I make dial comparison shots (well you already know since you own the gen of course). Almost everything else is spot on. @Dluddy & FXR: Thanks guys. @Bike Mike: Feel free to post some shots of your bluesy on a strap.
Mickey Padge Posted February 23, 2010 Report Posted February 23, 2010 I look forward to seeing the comparison shots!
coolfire Posted February 23, 2010 Report Posted February 23, 2010 Sweet one, mate! Really happy for you!
By-Tor Posted February 23, 2010 Author Report Posted February 23, 2010 Sweet one, mate! Really happy for you! Thanks my friend. @Ubi: This rep would make a great superfranken (wink wink)... with only a dial & dw swap. The rep is THAT good. I knew it of course but when I put them side-by-side it's scary.
Cats Posted February 23, 2010 Report Posted February 23, 2010 Congrats By-Tor. I'm looking forward to see some pics of Fish and diapers. Wear it well. Carpe Diem Cats
coolfire Posted February 23, 2010 Report Posted February 23, 2010 Thanks my friend. @Ubi: This rep would make a great superfranken (wink wink)... with only a dial & dw swap. The rep is THAT good. I knew it of course but when I put them side-by-side it's scary. You inspired me to get its rep cousin... So I think I know how much this beauty means to you... Hmmm... you may have also just inspired me (again) in doing a franken, mate! Wear this in great health, nevertheless!

andreww Posted February 23, 2010 Report Posted February 23, 2010 Hey congrats mate! Knew it wouldn't be long before you picked one of these up, especially after you sold your rep. Wear it well!
Bike Mike Posted February 23, 2010 Report Posted February 23, 2010 Here you go. Feel free to ask for more. Blue Shark Gen Blue Croco. Blue Pro Diver
b16a2 Posted February 23, 2010 Report Posted February 23, 2010 Not alot more I can add to the above comments, but once again, congrats Bytor! It's good to see another watch that you have admired for a long time join your very nice collection!
HauteHippie Posted February 23, 2010 Report Posted February 23, 2010 Congrats By-Tor! Hopefully you like the gen dial color as much as the rep! I think it looks great, especially with that sweater sleeve in the wrist shot.
redwatch Posted February 23, 2010 Report Posted February 23, 2010 Amazing color tone on that dial BT! It looks amazing. Now I can see why you have fallen in love with this one! Congrats!
P4GTR Posted February 23, 2010 Report Posted February 23, 2010 FINALLY! We no longer have to hear you moaning on and on about getting that damn gen SF! Congrats on another addition to the fam.
