signumboy Posted December 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2010 Additional photo's with a gen . The gen is always on the left. Or underneath. The biggest tell is the single AR , and the markers are whiter and brighter on the gen. Appart from this its very close Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryaku Posted December 18, 2010 Report Share Posted December 18, 2010 Buddy, can you please compare the bracelet gap close to the end link? Is it much more visible in the rep? Thank you very much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danza1812 Posted December 18, 2010 Report Share Posted December 18, 2010 Cool comparison pics. Love the gen AR. Makes the dial so clear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mkane133 Posted December 18, 2010 Report Share Posted December 18, 2010 Shame about the lume, hopefully someone will determine if it takes real parts soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcook Posted December 18, 2010 Report Share Posted December 18, 2010 Not to hijack signumboy's thread too much but I got my QC pics today, here's a taste. This is $128 version with the DG4813 movement: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolexman Posted December 18, 2010 Report Share Posted December 18, 2010 Additional photo's with a gen . The gen is always on the left. Or underneath. The biggest tell is the single AR , and the markers are whiter and brighter on the gen. Appart from this its very close Great shots and I know even Josh states the rep has single AR but from what I can judge from the pictures is that it definitely has double AR. Maybe not as stong as the gen but I know how single AR looks and that crystal is everything but coated from one side. 1 sided AR on a UPO: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryaku Posted December 18, 2010 Report Share Posted December 18, 2010 Not a big difference between a good one-side AR and a lousy DS AR. Either way we have to recoat the crystal. I'm seriously considering the cheap DG4813 version now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jchurch Posted December 18, 2010 Report Share Posted December 18, 2010 If it takes real parts it is looking good. I kind of like it but it could really use an AR job. The dial looks good but in some of the photos the hands look a little off lol I am sure it is just the angle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
signumboy Posted December 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2010 I've got to say if not seen with the gen this watch looks fantastic and the AR is still very good. This is very accurate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plaifender Posted December 18, 2010 Report Share Posted December 18, 2010 Looks great signum! but i have to admit. .it certainly doesn't look like one sided AR!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arizac Posted December 18, 2010 Report Share Posted December 18, 2010 Signumboy, can you please take a really close pictures of both (Gen and rep) bezel pearls? Pleaaaaaaase! My PO is on its way and i want to compare them and maybe do a modification. Thanks!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
signumboy Posted December 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2010 The only issue I Have with the pearl is, it looks dark compared to the gen. shape and size are good . A speck of white paint could be enough to fix it. But we are spliting hairs here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK471 Posted December 19, 2010 Report Share Posted December 19, 2010 Guys, this one looks really, really good. Perfect? Probably not, but no one would call you out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickey Padge Posted December 19, 2010 Report Share Posted December 19, 2010 This has decent double sided AR for sure, blatantly not single sided AR. The difference is huge for single, or double sided AR, at least to my eyes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
signumboy Posted December 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2010 Ok the lume.... I said before it was average rep lume , sorry I was wrong. Now its not superlume but it is a lot better than average lume. it is bright but probably not as long lasting as it could be. again I've got to say great bang for your buck.

ExtraExtra Posted December 20, 2010 Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 I notice in the comparison pics that the pearl on the gen is a bit more flush that the rep. the rep pearl has some height to it. anyone notice this too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mojako Posted December 20, 2010 Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 @signumboy, can you get a lume shot please? @extraextra, yes i noticed that too. do you think it's possible to sand/file the pearl insert to sit flush like the gen?

danza1812 Posted December 20, 2010 Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 I notice in the comparison pics that the pearl on the gen is a bit more flush that the rep. the rep pearl has some height to it. anyone notice this too?

ryaku Posted December 20, 2010 Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 signumboy, sorry to ask again could you please compare the bracelet gap? Is the gen bracelet much better in this? Thanks once more for sharing all your beautiful pics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mojako Posted December 20, 2010 Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 thanks for the lume pic signumboy!! Would you say that the lume is leaning towards green or white? (in daylight) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
signumboy Posted December 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 No the bracelet is very very good . A lot shinier than previous ones I have had. But yes it does have a bigger gap to the end link, but over all these are minor issues . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
signumboy Posted December 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 thanks for the lume pic signumboy!! Would you say that the lume is leaning towards green or white? (in daylight) Daylight the markers are dull white compared to a brighter white on the gen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryaku Posted December 20, 2010 Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 Thanks mate, if we consider the a21j costs 130$ .. it's indeed a great rep As for the bracelet, I respectfully disagree though: minor issues are flaws we can fix at a reasonable cost. In the 4th Gen PO the gap was really annoying and replacing a bracelet is not easy or cheap at all. But maybe in this new version the gap is not so bad after all. No need to say I would have preferred a flawed caseback or short hands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
