reggydub76 Posted March 26, 2010 Report Share Posted March 26, 2010 Hello, I'm looking fro a gen deployment clasp, but how can you tell if it's a gen or a rep? I've been searching, but I can't find a review of a gen and a rep deplyment clasp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bike Mike Posted March 26, 2010 Report Share Posted March 26, 2010 Look at the Winged B on the clasp...Pre 2008 Models were coined in deeply to the clasp. Post 2008 models had the raised Winged B. If the Winged B look like it is lightly engraved or laser etched, it is a rep. Also, the curvature of the Gen is greater then the Rep.

reggydub76 Posted March 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2010 Can you explain with pictures? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bike Mike Posted March 30, 2010 Report Share Posted March 30, 2010 Nope. Don't have a rep deployment, or a gen for that matter. Sorry, I am not a Deployment fan as once the strap takes a set, that is it. No mater how much you try to adjust it, it will return to that set position. If you are wanting a gen, then buy one from a AD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAMman Posted March 31, 2010 Report Share Posted March 31, 2010 (edited) I don't like the Breitling style of deployant either. The regular type (IWC style) protects the strap from bending that would arise with the normal tang buckle, but the Breitling deployant results in a more pronounced bend in your strap that prevents small adjustments being made. It is also very bulky on the wrist due to the way the strap threads through. I have both a rep and a gen deployant but they are different sizes so can't be directly compared. However, there is not a big difference. The logo stamped on my rep is not as crisp as the gen but you would need both together to really see the difference.

chronoluvvv Posted March 31, 2010 Report Share Posted March 31, 2010 isn't a deployment some sorta military initiative ? no but seriously i like the clasp more than the buckle since it tucks in the loose end of the strap & hides it well maybe its also the shape of my 'girlie' wrist or because i prefer them on the loose side but i feel the case doesn't slide around as much either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reggydub76 Posted April 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2010 I like the deployment cause you can change the length and isn't related to the holes in normal straps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vafarmer70 Posted April 8, 2010 Report Share Posted April 8, 2010 The Gen deployant is very comfortable, the adjustment feature is phenomenal here when it warms up outside then cools off. It is nothing at all to adjust it a bit in a few seconds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found cutting the strap was a PITA on the rubber deployant. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
