theflyingdutchman Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 Hi there! Here some gen Diver pics from London airport! Enjoy! Dutchy P.S. Nice watch, but it feels so cheap due to lack of weight! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faber Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 wow im really crazy for this one...this watch looks fantastic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mt666tm Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 was the seconds hand smooth or choppy?? im still on the fence about this one. If tbey did a black ceramic case or repped the carbon well i might get it, as the black would tone it down a bit. I like your safari more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watchmeister Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 P.S. Nice watch, but it feels so cheap due to lack of weight! Seriously, the weight is what makes the gen so good and the rep so disappointing. I own the rep but have also worn the gen a couple of times while on vacation. I even had the AD down to 16.5k Euros. The rep is gorgeous but it wears so fake. It weighs a ton. And truthfully that is the beauty of the gen watch. It is a bodacious watch which is wearable because it is ti. Comparatively the rep wears like you are wearing a cast-iron tub on your wrist. the only good news is that if you take it diving you don't need a weight belt. It never occurred to me there could be such a difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jkay Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 Do you suspect the rep is steel instead of titanium? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBattler Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 It must be the inner case made out of something else. Wouldn't we have noticed by now if the rep was made with blasted ss? Someone weigh their V6 4000m please so we can compare to the Gen. Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201 using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just had no idea that is the bulk of the watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

c888 Posted May 17, 2012 Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 Is the rep very heavy? I assume heavier then a panerai 187? Since its so tall, does it ever feel "top" heavy? I think someone on another forum took one apart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think someone on another forum took one apart. It does not feel significantly top heavy, weight is more or less on par with a 187 but spread out more evenly because of the 22mm case height.
