Smab Posted May 1, 2012 Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 Happy May-day to all fellow members Here I have made some pics for you all to enjoy (responsably). So which is GEN? Black or blue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andreww Posted May 1, 2012 Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 No real clear pics of the blue one, but I'm thinking its a rep? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smab Posted May 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 Yeah, you are all right - the blue is the rep, the black is not But, I was really scared when I saw how good this 4 year old rep was, considering I compare to the GEN at hand. Oh, and by the way, not worht the money buying a GEN bracelet. It is not that much better, slightly better finish and fit, quality wise not much different. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smab Posted May 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 Hi again. Adding some lume-shots. This is what gen superluminova looks like. As I spoke of yesterday, IMO difference between the gen and rep bracelet, it is not worth 500-700 USD buying a gen bracelet from an AD, to make a franken. I have not seen the recent remake of the rep (with superlume), but my old one (swiss 2836-2) has a slightly more rounded shaped case, and there are some small differences in the CG area. Also the crown looks slightly bigger on the rep, as well as the pearl, which is easy to spot, but only when you have both at hand to compare. Also bezel looks a little thicker on the GEN, I guess due to the very thick (6mm) crystal. If you were to make a franken without blowing away too much cash, I suggest getting a gen dial, and new AR on the crystal. The dial makes all the difference, and the AR is of course very good on the gen, but still has a blue hue, so colorless AR on a rep would not be true to make it look GEN.

Watchnuts Posted May 3, 2012 Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 Just look at the SEL, than you know which one is the rep. Sent from my microWave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuDro Posted May 3, 2012 Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 And slight curve on the far left of the 'S' on 'SuperOcean'... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andreww Posted May 3, 2012 Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 Easiest tell for me has always been the top of the rider tabs. On the gen the top face has an arc to them while the rep is pretty much flat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smab Posted May 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2012 Hi guys, thanks for all nice words I checked the correct time against timeserver today on the web. My SOSF was set by the AD on Monday and until today it has gained only 4 secs! Even if considering it is COSC, I am impressed Happy weekend!
