Lolex_panelai Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 left = gen, the right case / rep is too high, the rep dial is too flashy, and the daytona crown-guards are not that much pointed ... regards lolex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 Left is gen. Is this 116520 gen or rep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sql_pl Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 Rep but a good one. Still the pushers are a bit too long and the bezel is still a bit too angled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 You are half right. It is a rep, but the 'too long' pushers (& some of the hands) are gens. I like to install pushers (& crowns) a bit proud of the case (1mm or so higher than the factory installed them), which is the way Rolex service centers often place them.

simonporsche Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 The knowledge you guys have is incredible, it's this kind of chat that has me coming back all day every day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sql_pl Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 (edited) You guys are right, I knew it was too much of an easy question at the boards here. Anyway here are some pics, Iphone quality, taken in a public place: Biggest issues, just compare those bezel angles: CGs and pushers: Finishing on the clasp: Rep does look OK when you have never seen a gen. For me the bezel on the rep was always a serious deal breaker. I think other Rolex reps would end up way better in comparison with their gen versions.

Pushers in my gen in pics above are screwed all the way in, please note how short is the part above the "screw-grip", this is also quite an obvious tell. Are you sure your pushers are gen?

freddy333 Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 Yes, definitely gen pushers. The bezel on the low profile rep cases is also flatter than yours. Not quite as flat as the gen (about half way between the 2 in your pics), but close enough so that it is much less easily identified from an arm's length away. The casebacks on all of these reps is, for me, the biggest tell. Because the rep case is designed for a 7750, which is thicker than the Rolex caliber, the caseback is more beveled, which makes the watch sit higher on your wrist. That is how I usually gauge these reps from their gen counterparts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
