ryanmkang Posted May 17, 2012 Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 So, I just got this in. The dial and case look good. I got the "Ultimate" version. but the bracelet feels light, which makes the whole thing too light for my taste. Any suggestions as to where to get the gen rolex bracelet for this? I've look on ebay and most of them look like knock offs which will probably feel the same way as the one i've got now. Thanks guys!

sneed12 Posted May 17, 2012 Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 Honestly, the gen bracelet feels exactly the same way. Maybe a bit smoother, but the gen Submariner bracelet has hollow center links which gives it that light rattly feeling. Seriously. It's supposed to be like that.

TeeJay Posted May 17, 2012 Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 +1 That is precisely how the gen not only feels, but is supposed to feel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanmkang Posted May 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 hmm.. thanks guys. maybe i should've went to a store and tried on a gen before i start posting stuff on here. haha... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woof* Posted May 17, 2012 Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 hmm.. thanks guys. maybe i should've went to a store and tried on a gen before i start posting stuff on here. haha... Yeah...ha ha. What would have been the difference? I have the gen and the rep. They weigh the same, in fact..other than the fit/finish and quality of markings there really isn't much difference. No offense, but you have posted this same question on repgeek and , and now here... and were given the same answers, what's the point of asking if you don't want to learn?

TeeJay Posted May 18, 2012 Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 HAHAHA I guess i wasn't the only one that posted without trying on a gen first huh? haha... thanks. Trying on a gen (with the cash and intent to buy) I was so underwhelmed, I knew I'd never want to spend the cash for the gen, so I started looking for 'fakes', and that's how I got into reps I just find it funny that I was originally looking at a 16610, went through quite a few watches over the years, and am now back with a 16610 (although I plan on converting it to a 16800) and simply can't get the thing off my wrist Something which helped me come to accept and love the flimsiness of the Rolex clasp, is that the watch was originally intended as a functional tool watch, not a fashion piece, and to think of it as a racecar which has been stripped down for weight, not a sedan which has been built for comfort 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mymanmatt Posted May 18, 2012 Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 I have a gen in my shop for repair, and I compared it with the rep I have, seems like the rep is heavier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
