Mickey Padge Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 Very nice, the older version, with the square second hand tip! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
By-Tor Posted February 23, 2010 Author Report Share 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 Share 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dluddy Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 Big congrats on finally landing the Fish BT It's a beauty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickey Padge Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bike Mike Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By-Tor Posted February 23, 2010 Author Report Share 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.

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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
