sputim Posted December 2, 2014 Report Share Posted December 2, 2014 Left is gen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmj Posted December 2, 2014 Report Share Posted December 2, 2014 They both look very close to each other. But if I had to choose I would say left is gen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jigelow Posted December 2, 2014 Report Share Posted December 2, 2014 Swiss Made and font is the only thing that jumps out. The sunburst is great on the rep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbh Posted December 2, 2014 Report Share Posted December 2, 2014 If you're going by the quality, left is gen. The whole printing on the right is centered off to the right side of the dial. It's quite obvious. Also the sunburst effect is much better, as is the shape of the coronet. With that said, you'll probably tell us left is gen.

droptopman Posted December 2, 2014 Report Share Posted December 2, 2014 Does look good but I agree the Swiss Made on the right looks narrow. Sent from my droptop using telepathy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StoneP Posted December 2, 2014 Report Share Posted December 2, 2014 Left is Gen. The "Oyster perpetual DateJust" text on the right dial looks like them so called refinished dials on eBay. The Swiss Made text is also too close. All that said the "rep" dial is still very good quality. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blue. Posted December 2, 2014 Report Share Posted December 2, 2014 There are quite a few tells on the right dial as for example the Rolex logo letter proportions and spacing, the too thin register circles, the dial mark on the edge at 3 o´clock, as some people mentioned the swiss made spacing is off. But those are quite small details, with some attention to detail those can be fixed and it would be much harder to tell if gen or rep. Though, a lot of refinished DJ dials these days are sold on the bay and prices exceed even gen dial value! Insane! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mymanmatt Posted December 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2014 Good eye gentleman. The gen dial, which is perfect is a very expensive dial, If you can even find it. They run between $3-$400. Most of them are $400. The rep has been refinished and I have $130 in it. You are all correct on the flaws. First the refinisher had to keep the rr tracks centered around the markers. That's why it is offset on the dial. However, the rr track is a tight fit in the case and I am able to center the rr tracks and the dial in the rehaut so the space is the same around the outside. You are correct about the swiss made spacing. My refinisher has different width swiss made, and I think he chose the wrong one here. The plus, I've got to tell you, in person the rhodium finish is spot on. It's exactly like the gen. The font looks great to me. Maybe not micro spot on, but to the naked eye looks really good. Once the rep dial is mounted in the case it looks very centered and on the arm, 99.9% of all people will not know it's a rep dial. So, in conclusion, the difference in price is $270. For some people that is significant. This rep world that we live in is critical of all rep parts. I have to ask, WHY? In the end, when its on your arm, it looks good. If someone wants to see it, and you show it to them, they don't know what their looking at, they see a Rolex, or an AP, or a Patek, or whatever your wearing. If you will wear it like a gen, no one will ever know. Just like creatures in the wild can sense fear, people can sense if your nervous about your watch, then they think fake all the way. LOL Enjoy the holidays ladies and gentlemen, and wear those reps like they cost thousands of dollars, you'll be glad you do. Also, the rep is for a 2 tone. Crazy the way the camera picks up light.

Legend Posted December 4, 2014 Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 Gen on left. But yes the reps are getting very close. Creeping up for the big "boo!" eventually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deokhoon jun Posted December 4, 2014 Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 Very different Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmtlover Posted December 4, 2014 Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 difference is huge.. hour markers fatter on rep printing of the hour numbers less fine font.. Thinner letters on Rolex Oyster etc are too thin and small smaller in size swiss made not correct date window is larger, not clean cut and not correct bevel the sunburst lines from the middle of the dial to the edge of the dial are less pronounced, but could be angle of picture as well.. Enough to improve I say 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
