Guest chronomat123 Posted December 25, 2006 Report Share Posted December 25, 2006 Can you tell which is rep and which is gen? I just got my "closed factory" Seamaster Pro (thanks, Jeff!), and I must say-- I am extremely impressed. I will post a more in-depth comparison between the rep and gen Seamaster Pro soon, but I thought I'd share these with you. I fixed the misaligned bezel on the replica and gave the case & bracelet a bit of shine with some Brasso: Those are the only mods. This thing is scary. I can already tell my gen Seamaster Chrono will be getting less wrist time And here's a quick and dirty of my collection minus my gen Breitling Headwind which is currently being fixed and my gen Speedmaster Pro which was on the wrist. One of the Seamaster Bonds is my father's gen, the other is my rep, and the chronograph is genuine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetsons Posted December 25, 2006 Report Share Posted December 25, 2006 Nice pair, chrono. I would take the one on the right. The gen also has a terrific movement which is an added plus. Execellent collection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omega1 Posted December 25, 2006 Report Share Posted December 25, 2006 Gen is on the right. Give aways for me were: Pearl Date window (gen is rectangular, while the rep is more square) Thickness of dial minute markers Caseback (gen is more flat, while rep is more domed) Otherwise, its a pretty good rep!

dariusp Posted December 28, 2006 Report Share Posted December 28, 2006 Gen is on the right.

I looked at the valve at the 10 marker. Slightly off center on the right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigpops Posted December 28, 2006 Report Share Posted December 28, 2006 Just a quick point. The old "Closed factory" never made that model (non 007). That model came out in February 2005, which was a couple of months after the "closed factory" reps dried up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spa Posted December 29, 2006 Report Share Posted December 29, 2006 Crown guards on the rep of this SMP 300 scream: "fake". The biggest flaw on this model in my opinion... Otherwise a good rep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
techd Posted December 30, 2006 Report Share Posted December 30, 2006 The font on the clasp for Professional is also wrong, that's what I noticed first actually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
