Riverking2 Posted January 28, 2015 Report Share Posted January 28, 2015 I was able to source 2nd hand AP Diver GEN straps and I can't tell the difference just by looking at them. Someone said OEM feels a lot more harsh but they feel the same. I am starting to think if the seller sold me REP as oem strap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chronoluvvv Posted January 29, 2015 Report Share Posted January 29, 2015 it is getting dangerously close my Diver's rep strap is as soft and comfortable to wear as my ROO's gen strap ... if not for the texture I would be conned easily Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panerai153 Posted January 30, 2015 Report Share Posted January 30, 2015 Some of the rubber straps are really, really closer to the gens. I don't think the rep Hornbacks are even close to gens, at least not the ones I have seen. Having said that out here in the sticks where I live, nobody but me would ever know, because most folks wouldn't know a Hornback from a turtle back unless it was someone around here who was a gator hunter, farmer or someone who works with gator hides. They could probably look at a Hornback and tell you, "that don't look like anything I've seen on a real gator" but the chances of that would be about the same odds as being struck by a piece of space debris!! The rep rubber straps have gotten better and better and are getting harder and harder to tell apart. I can't remember which brand it is, but it seems like the only way to tell the rep from gen was the gen didn't attract dust and the rep did. Not sure which it was though. I'm sure the rep manufacturers have solved that puzzle as well though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riverking2 Posted February 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2015 False alarm guys. It's GEN. It came with the packaging and I noticed that GEN straps are a bit darker than REP ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
