Yet another update on my black rep Exp II..Got a donor case, super lumed dial and handset from a fellow member, madcat (Thanks C! )..Did the transplant and this rep is almost modded complete, now just missing a gen crystal with LEC or a gen-spec crystal without the LEC..

Here are some glam pics:

Some members had PM-ed me about doing a new comparison of the new rep case vs the gen case..So here they are:

Side by side Case profile

Crown Guards

Crowns - Gen on top, Rep on bottom

Bezel Numbers - Gen always on top

Finally a lume shot:

In natural daylight - Lume on rep is less 'white' than Lume on gen

In Semi-dark room - shade of green lume are different from rep and gen but both glows just as good, after the same amount of exposure to daylight
