sul Posted June 2, 2011 Report Share Posted June 2, 2011 Well seeing as your pic has a tic missing each side of the 6 marker I'm guessing it's a version 1 Ken But here is gen: and same as V1... Gen Graham -slide over picture to zoom, no extra tick at 6 o´clock... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andreww Posted June 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2011 The only tell that I have been able to come up with so far can be seen in this picture... Notice that you can see the end of a springbar in the outer lug hole. The rep uses conventional springbars, and as the lug is so thick, you cant see anything from the outer hole.

andreww Posted June 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2011 (edited) Andrew if you look at the pic that sul put up there is a small tic on each side of every hour marker, except the 6 o'clock marker. ken I see that, but my V2 is like that and so is the gen that I posted (Below).

KB Posted June 2, 2011 Report Share Posted June 2, 2011 But here is gen: and same as V1... Gen Graham -slide over picture to zoom, no extra tick at 6 o´clock... Interesting, I was only going on what was said earlier in the thread but it seems the missing tic's are not a flaw at all. Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gran Posted June 2, 2011 Report Share Posted June 2, 2011 I shudder at the thought of trying to board a plane wearing one of those!!! (Dresden...) Yes! Those bombers can make some real damage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hackR Posted June 2, 2011 Report Share Posted June 2, 2011 sorry A, I have this Tech Seal...it's an earlier version with all ss and little "black" trim...and does not have the carbon fiber look dial... as far as i know, its accurate - but is missing 2 ticks near the "6" marker...

andreww Posted June 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2011 Got ya, thats not a Tech Seal though, it's the regular Diver model. As far as I can see the only tell on the Tech Seal is the springbars, and thats pretty damned good! I don't think there are many reps out there that are don't have at least one obvious tell. If I were in the market for a gen I'd be awful scared to buy one from anywhere but an AD. Even then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave123 Posted June 2, 2011 Report Share Posted June 2, 2011 Dave, you'll never know how badly I wanted to win the one you raffled off! I'm glad someone remembers that stuff... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave123 Posted June 2, 2011 Report Share Posted June 2, 2011 Going back in memory here but the V2 has better AR (the new at the time 'swiss standards'),a smoother strap and more correct 'Graham' logo on the buckle,the V1 was engraved larger. Been a while guys.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noel Fleischer Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 I have a rep of almost every brand except Graham. Its well done, but I just can't see that monster on my wrist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vegasvic Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 Well, I don't think I would wear it to the office, but I would definitely feel safer wearing it in the woods. Kill a grizzly just whacking it on the head with that thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andreww Posted June 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 I've worn mine to the office all week. One of our VPs actually noticed it and had me take it off so he could play with it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iceberg1459 Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 very good rep but if u own the genuine you will be able to tell the difference, by feeling the quality Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andreww Posted June 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 Had the gen on the other day. Felt very similar except the bezel on the gen felt too loose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
