Good for A Series on

Top is EL and Bottom is Gen

[Drulee]

How do we play "the case game"?

EDIT: Now I know

[HArwood22]

one is gen one is EL

can you tell what one.

[PeteM]

Take the plunge and say top one in first pic is gen (one with black stitch strap)

[Drulee]

Top EL, bottom gen (gen bezels have a more rounded edge).

[PeteM]

Like this?

I am also going bottom one as a genuine. looks on the corners but I don't really know for sure.

[Drulee]

Like this?

Was the pic directed at me? If so, like what?

[Watchmeister]

I guess top one is gen. I focus on lugs and what I call "shoulder droop" or case profile as it approaches the corners/lugs. They are both excellent cases though.

[Guest avitt]

Bottom's the gen.

[w0lf]

Bottom is gen, the one on ammo strap. The other with a gen strap is Agus/EL/HR/Homer ultimate.

Actually, even if if you don't know cases the crystal gives away the gen as well.

i'm thinking the bottom is the rep case...there appears to be a gap between the bezel and case on the bottom case ( the one with the ammo strap with white stitching)...i have a case with this gap - it's kinda a recess that you could slip a knife in to remove the bezel...if there's not a recess, then i haven't a clue...

All gen bezels, and only a few reps, have this knife notch.

I think that the bottoms a gen because of the more rounded edges of the bezel (as mentioned by Drulee), the bezel notch, and the sharper edges on the lugs.

one was made in a Temple street apartment

One was made in Swizerland

I gotta correct myself. I think Wolf and Avitt have this one right. So much for my powers of observation. I am wearing a gen as I write this. Where is that notch when you need it?

[kbiz]

bottom is gen top EL... though the EL looks a little funny to me... lug edge is always any easy tell for Gen... crisp and flat with a much sharper edge.

[Drulee]

I think Wolf and Avitt have this one right.

What am I, chopped liver?

What am I, chopped liver?

No, but fair point.

Kbiz- PM me on Wednesday when I am back in the office and I can review what I got on the dials you are looking for.

[deanr]

The straightness of the surfaces and polish job say it all, bottom is gen, who cares what the top is its obvious a bunch of flaws have been polished over and its not something expected from a swiss watch

[HArwood22]

YES bottom with Olive army strap is GEN!!!!!!

The El(no strap notches between lugs) also has the bezel notch just on the other side

[kbiz]

No, but fair point.
