The price on the ward is nice but that ward insert is ugly and the hands are not that great.

Any other questions?

They forgot to put the rep third in the comparison :p Less than half the price of the CW with a 2824 (which could be replaced with the swiss and still be far under the price).

Correct, but how much would it cost once you replace the insert with a gen one so the pearl doesn't scream fake from a mile away, get a gen strap that doesn't feel like a piece of plastic (or a gen bracelet that doesn't lose its "balls",) service the movement, and waterproof it properly so it doesn't leak like a sieve?

Not sure of the insert cost. I had no problem with my bracelet except it not having enough micro adjustment points (a problem shared by the gen) a movement could be serviced or a donor watch with an ETA 2824-2 sourced for relatively little and waterproofing can be done with relatively little experience.

I have a dead BB sitting in a draw which was originally a movement problem followed by me pulling it apart and breaking it beyond reasonable repair.

I have the C60 in charcoal. It's a great watch. I'm not a big fan of the lume pearl through. It look like a lump of lume. The should of done better.. I have a rep BB coming in on Monday. Would love to get a gen insert for it. Any sources?

 

Seen a few knocking around the rep forums mate  ;)  need your eyes peeled though they seem to go very quick !
