tah Posted November 17, 2011 Report Share Posted November 17, 2011 Got this watch from Silix. I think there's was a little communication breakdown. I wanted the case with the lug holes like the Gen. They kept telling me they were waiting for it from the factory for over a month. Finally I relented and told them to send me the one without the holes. So I get the watch this week and it has holes....wtf? But it's what I wanted so all is well. I've got to tell you, overall I'm VERY pleased witht this rep. I've owned two gens of this watch, the 14060 and the 14060M and this rep does not disappoint me. The good: dial and hands look really good. lug holes although not perfectly positioned are close enough to gen to fool just about anyone, band is proper hollow links and hollow end links, proper diver extension, keeps good time, nice coronets on dial, crown and clasp....... The not so good: crystal has coronet, not proper on this one (14060), proper on 14060M with rehaut engraving, one band screw was very stubborn but after soaking overnight in Kroil (heat did NOTHING) got it loose and out, bezel feels kind of sloppy when turning, gues I'll just leave it alone - problem solved! Here's some quick and dirty pics..........enjoy 2010 14060M Gen Older 14060 Gen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woof* Posted November 18, 2011 Report Share Posted November 18, 2011 Very nice, thanks for the pics Looks pretty good to me, if the gen is yours it would be nice to see a shot side by side to compare dials. The only thing that glares at me (just like all reps) is the pearl. That's easily fixed though. Thanks for posting and congrats. Glad you got the screw out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tah Posted November 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2011 Both the pictured gens WERE mine. During the last three or four years during the recession I've sold a LOT of posessions. When I'd sell a high dollar Rolex I'd but a cheaper one. Sometimes I'd sell two and buy one. Eventually I'd have no gen Rolex', That's when I started looking into the rep scene. Now unless I start making a LOT of money....and I mean a LOT......I'll probably just stick with the reps. The real heartbreaker for me was when I sold my Porsche, bought a BMW...then had to sell that. Before this recession I was proably the highest earning home inprovement sales reps in the state of Virginia. Good company, good products, NO SCAMMING just good honest business! Within two years business went to 50% of what it once was and has gotten worse since then. People are scared to death of spending money and I don't blame them. Now I own a mattress store and am doing OK, just OK. But I'm thankful for what I have and know that I'm a lot better off than a lot of folks. So Thanksgiving will still be a day of thanks for me!

I doubt I'll ever been in position again to get em back. Meanwhile I'm enjoying my reps immensely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ylfig Posted November 18, 2011 Report Share Posted November 18, 2011 I got one for 2900 about 5-6 months ago. Pretty happy with it although I kind of want to get that one now just to see the difference side by side. I have a 1990 model so it would/should be the same as the rep. Tah: How much was that one?

rosnik Posted November 18, 2011 Report Share Posted November 18, 2011 IMO: I hope REP 'no Data' got some Gen 'No data' measures. Gen 'No data' got different measures (little dial too) than GEN 'SUB w. data'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
