Jkay Posted August 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2010 The rep, for comparison Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asf Posted August 18, 2010 Report Share Posted August 18, 2010 man i've always wanted one! Is the crystal domed like the gen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
txcollector Posted August 18, 2010 Report Share Posted August 18, 2010 The sixties is a nice rep but FAR from perfect. The gen is 39mm and the rep is a whopping 43mm Apart from the size, the crystal is the biggest tell. Here's the gen and here's the rep When you get to the back and movement, there's not even a resemblance. The gen is an auto, the rep a manual. The gen has a very unique display caseback, the rep has a flat crystal. Gen Caseback Rep Caseback Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryaku Posted August 18, 2010 Report Share Posted August 18, 2010 I have always thought 43mm was too much for that kind of case and dial. I'm not surprised at all to hear the gen is only 39mm. It's a shame cause it's really a classy watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OmegaPOFL Posted August 18, 2010 Report Share Posted August 18, 2010 i still love it!!! Tx, you have a Gen!? that's awesome... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charmquark Posted August 18, 2010 Report Share Posted August 18, 2010 Yes, I got an SS rep based on photos taken straight on but the rep is much thicker and larger than the gen and misses that beautiful curvature of dial and glass. I was very disappointed with it and haven't really worn it since I saw a gen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jkay Posted August 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2010 On the wrist, the dial, hands, case, lugs and crown look soooooo good. Yes, certainly the case back is a dead give-away. Aren't all exhibition backs?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aren't all exhibition backs?! The domed crystal and the size are WAY off. Almost like too different watches when you see the gen. The rep is just too big and flat. Don't get me wrong for the price it is a nice watch but it can't even pretend it's not a rep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crystalcranium Posted August 19, 2010 Report Share Posted August 19, 2010 The rep certainly is a beautiful piece even if its a way off reproduction. Nice Xmas gift for the price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
