glennmichael Posted December 20, 2012 Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 V3.5 Gen One tell is that the Gen has slightly smaller 'cubes' on the dial.. Other than that.. What else can you see to tell them apart ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chefcook Posted December 20, 2012 Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 I'd even say the cubes (called Méga Tapisserie) are correct and that it is only lighting and angle that make them appear smaller in the pic of the gen. If you compare the hour markes in relation to the Tapisserie then it seems to match up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gtanak Posted December 20, 2012 Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 (edited) So far the tells are the thinner lume numbers (the '0's are most obvious) and some eagle eyed member spotted the thickness/spacing of the hour hand is off on the rep Gen pic looks really familar but i'm just saying...

frankpower88 Posted December 20, 2012 Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 the interior of the ''0'' on the gen are squares, and on rep they are round Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watch.aholic Posted December 20, 2012 Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 Good observation guys about the zero.....the rep zeros are sort of elongated too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rogerthat Posted December 21, 2012 Report Share Posted December 21, 2012 Definitely a great rep but Internet picture comparisons are helpful but not definitive Thought based on thread total it was a gen next to rep comparison Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watchmeister Posted December 21, 2012 Report Share Posted December 21, 2012 It ain't the angle. The Tapisserie squares (or at least the flat portion on the top of each square is definitely smaller. Still wouldn't think twice though about that rep. It is incredible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edgematic1 Posted December 22, 2012 Report Share Posted December 22, 2012 Here's a pic from my review. No differences on the Tapisserie. The inner bezel, endlinks and caseback still have some minuscule flaws, strap grain as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
megafatius Posted December 22, 2012 Report Share Posted December 22, 2012 One of the biggest tells to me has always been the edge of the rubber crowns on the rep. Both the 3 and 3.5 have an unfinished "lip" vs the smooth finished rubber seen on the gen. Either the AP diver is one of my favorite reps. I have mine on a donerix shark strap and I wear it at least twice a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nlnlnlnene Posted December 31, 2012 Report Share Posted December 31, 2012 The lume on the inner bezel is fairly obvious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
