mactower Posted July 16, 2010 Report Share Posted July 16, 2010 Hey Delta, I thought the same on mine though it's an illusion I'm sure. It looks different to the eye than when photographed. Cheers, M. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redwatch Posted July 16, 2010 Report Share Posted July 16, 2010 According to the description on Josh's site, it has a "White Arch Profile dial (Similar to Genuine)" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R_Squared Posted July 25, 2010 Report Share Posted July 25, 2010 Hey unreg - is the dial indices/numerals raised and glossy? Or is it more flat and matt black? How would you describe the dial color? The gen is made from silver opaline with some luminescent property. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolfire Posted July 25, 2010 Report Share Posted July 25, 2010 Dang, falling for this one too... is there a TT version too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mad_man_may Posted July 25, 2010 Report Share Posted July 25, 2010 I'm also waiting on the tt version. I have been told it's coming in the next couple of weeks. Josh has just posted another version of this watch on his website so its definitely coming! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danphong Posted July 25, 2010 Report Share Posted July 25, 2010 (edited) It looks awesome, Unreg! I envy you. Judging by your pics, it seems to me that the Rep's crown is a bit different in shape. The Gen's crown seems to be of "2 layers" whereas the Rep's crown is domed. Just my 2 cents. Edit: Sorry, EM already mentioned it!

statikman Posted July 26, 2010 Report Share Posted July 26, 2010 I struggle with the internal line of the CG. It's the same issue with the BR03 series. The line just isn't as sharp and straight as the gen. This tiny thing makes me nuts. I love the Santos though and may buy this rep anyway.

How would you describe the dial color? The gen is made from silver opaline with some luminescent property. hmm...need to go back home and check the dial. I honestly can't remember, but don't think its was flat as in in-line with the dial. The dial does shimmer slightly, not luminescent as in "glow-in-the-dark" sort though. It looks awesome, Unreg!

Edit: Sorry, EM already mentioned it! I think the cabochon is slightly off tilt but other than that, the crown itself is fairly close to the gen. I struggle with the internal line of the CG.

Not too sure what you're referring to. But there are minor differences in the gens I've seen, not all have the sharp S-shape outer curve. Or are you referring to another area?

I am getting lots of conflicting reports from members as to what it should be. I will drop by my AD this week to check out the gen Santos 100XL dial/lume indices/numerals and see if it matches yours or what I think it should be. Hopefully it does matches the dial/lume indices/numerals on your rep Santos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there are minor differences in the gens I've seen, not all have the sharp S-shape outer curve. Or are you referring to another area? Look at the gen on top of rep pic on page one. The inside line on the CGs are sharp and dead straight in relation to the crown. The rep has softer corners and the lines aren't parallel. They sort of project away from the crown. It's exactly the same issue with the BR03. This is why I switched to gens. I won't mod and I can't stop looking at this tiny detail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will report back on what I see on the gen dial vs this one. Main difference I've found is the bevelling on the edge of the sapphire is thinner and clearer on the gen. For the dial, it may be a shade lighter but in terms of sparkle similar however this is heavily dependent on the ambient lighting so its quite subjective. Never noticed the numbers so do report back R2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mad_man_may Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 would be great to see so more pics. especially the CG, see if it is slightly 'wonky' on all models or possibly just a qc issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unregistered Posted July 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 Probably QC. As mentioned, this also affects Gens too, will get more gen and rep pics up. You guys are a demanding bunch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
