kbh Posted October 26, 2011 Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 A lot of unanswered questions, including is the crown position correct, will gen dial feet work and will it fit a gen case. So far no answers from Angus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parny Posted October 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 Apparently it will fit a gen case as well as gen hands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue_sphere Posted October 26, 2011 Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 No offense but with 2 posts ill have to ask for a source? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highoeyazmuhudee Posted October 26, 2011 Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 there is already a multi page thread about this in the rolex section Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parny Posted October 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 The source is the website the watch is found on, scroll down and read. "This movement accepts gen dial and hands and you can put this movement into a gen case. When you adjust the time, the hands rotates in the same direction as you rotate the crown, same as genuine."

slickdick Posted October 26, 2011 Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 That is the claim yes, but it has not been seen in the wild. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue_sphere Posted October 27, 2011 Report Share Posted October 27, 2011 They also say every rep is 1:1 so you can see why I asked Thank you though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted October 27, 2011 Report Share Posted October 27, 2011 Surprising that nobody has one yet and taken it apart.... Is angus even selling them yet? I know there was a delay initially. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highoeyazmuhudee Posted October 27, 2011 Report Share Posted October 27, 2011 angus seems to be selling them after a short recall. guess people are curious but skeptical, dont want to be out the $500 price tag if it turns out to be lemon. the watch itself looks very decent, maybe people dont want an LV only offering. once a review is written and the findings are favorable im sure many will be sold. if a black sub model is available and the movement is reliable and fits gen parts (although i doubt its 100% the balance wheel im betting is not interchangeable) id give it a go, get a gen datewheel, insert, maybe get some lug holes drilled out , oohh thatd be sweet.

highoeyazmuhudee Posted October 27, 2011 Report Share Posted October 27, 2011 ahh thanks for the link +video. not 1:1 bezel huh. thats pretty disappointing, i wonder how well it fits a gen insert then. hmm that video tells a lot low sitting crown, non centered date -its left justified, non recessed insert, tall crystal. maybe it was the lens but the rehaut even looked a bit curvy. bracelet looked pretty nice though, even had the off center "push button" for the diving extension now if only they could make a rep 93150 correctly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woof* Posted October 27, 2011 Report Share Posted October 27, 2011 I wish somone would buy and disect one. Too bad about the bezel construction. If they had done the right case with the new movement and all of it was at least close to 1:1, they'd sell like hotcakes. They come so close on so many aspects of these watches, I wonder why there is always some major construction flaw on any given model. Surely they read the boards and they must know what we want. All of the parts that we swap could be made like crap on the watch...just get the 1:1 basic correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the playful eyes Posted October 27, 2011 Report Share Posted October 27, 2011 (edited) I wish somone would buy and disect one. Too bad about the bezel construction.

All of the parts that we swap could be made like crap on the watch...just get the 1:1 basic correct. I think they purposely introduce small margin of errors while 'fixing' older problems whenever they release a new watch. I don't think they want to do a true 1:1 to avoid a SWAT team kicking down their doors. Remember the Omega Seamaster ordeal back then? The rep was so good that even rwg members couldn't tell a Rep from a Gen with a few minor mods. The HE valve was in the correct position, which usually is a dead give away when those reps. Anyway, Omega had to do something to stop them from producing. That's all I remember reading from the old rwg.

Ephry73 Posted October 27, 2011 Report Share Posted October 27, 2011 Ideally, what the industry SHOULD do is produce a movement that fits the gen parts correctly, as well as work very well, but maybe not look so much like the Gen. Best of both worlds. E Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watcher Posted October 27, 2011 Report Share Posted October 27, 2011 I have been told by another dealer to expect a much better quality offering in the next few weeks so I would pass on these early [censored] up watches! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really? Which dealer? Same movement but different case altogether, or more of a v2 of this with improved details? Something else unrelated?
