Gen Rubber strap vs JF Rep Rubber strap - 20mm clasp clasp

[Tinitonsi]

Hello guys

Today I'd like to make some pics-comparison between a Gen rubber strap for AP ROO 2014 Novelties (20mm clasp) and a JF (or J12) rep rubber strap.

Sometimes we we talk about correct DW position, correct crown position, wrong dial color, strong lume, etc...

But, seriously I don't think that the strap (leather or rubber) or the bracelet is not an important part of the watch. Many times it's the biggest tell in our reps, just my opinion.

Before the pics, I'd like to say HAT OFF FOR JF/J12

These made an awesome strap, maybe better than the Gen one.

So, check by yourself. Then try to find the differences, if any there are.

Here we go

Did you find the Gen one?

Now, check the back...

Found??? If you look close to the pics more than 5 sec to find it, you have to say JF made an awesome work.

The Rep strap has the endlinks & buckle.

Pros of the Rep:

- Softer than Gen

- More comfortable than Gen

- Fits better the case

- Costs -6x the Gen

Cons of the Rep:

- A little bit less black than the Gen (the Gen matches better the black parts of the watch). But you notice that only if you're an AP hardcore guy like me.

NB: I don't know after 6 months if they will age differently like the Diver strap (now you see the differences between the Gen & Rep).

This is is how the Gen strap fits on my JF Doha case

The next pic shows why there's a little gap with the Gen strap

If you look closer to the pic, you'll notice that the position of the hole on the Gen strap is slightly upper than the Rep strap. That's why the JF rep strap fit better on the case.

NB: Don't install this Gen strap on a Noob case, it fits really, really bad. Gaps everywhere.

Thanks for watching
