From auction:

-vs- my Gen

Looking at the auction, the "movement photos" are throwing me for a loop...

[redwatch]

Sunken date wheel and running seconds dial too small. Interesting looking rep though. DLC'd case with RG hands? It's a nice combo, even if it's not real

Cool Rep.

I'd say that it's probably not a DLC treatment, and probably just a general PVD treatment. The watch is not "gun metal" enough to be DLC.

Looks pretty cool though. what's that mark between "6" and "9" in the six oclock subdial though?

[Niqlndym]

Looks legit to me. I don't think it's a rep.

I don't think the datewheel is sunken, just no bevel on the window. Googling this, not extensively but not cursory either, turns up nothing.

It's just a different BTR series, with another dial configuration. Here's the stainless version:

The auction example is just likely from a limited edition, targeted at the Asian market.

Looking at the texture in these pictures, it definitely looks better than rep quality.

Yes, it's genuine. The PVD and Ti versions have different subdial configuration.

Check out my review and Bricky's gen:

Yes, agreed on the genuine, BUT that 9:00 Subdial, and non-beveled date window and light print on the datewheel look awful IMHO.

Funny thing is, I always used the 9:00/6:00 subdial connection as the quick tell. Now knowing Ebel produced non connected subdial dial's like this gives some 'cred' to the rep makers. Wonder if they were looking at the exceptions when they designed the reps.
