Guest Sql_pl Posted April 17, 2006 Report Share Posted April 17, 2006 Found it on the net: You can see how flat the gen bezel is... damn... the thing that bothers me most in 7750 rep is that the bezel is not that flat... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrgod Posted April 17, 2006 Report Share Posted April 17, 2006 (edited) nice... Too bad the t-shirt is not white! All the subdials, even the running seconds is pointing to 12 0'clock.. Edited April 17, 2006 by chrgod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Sql_pl Posted April 17, 2006 Report Share Posted April 17, 2006 I will try to take similar pic with my girl and my Daytona once it gets a bit warmer here.... In the meantime here is a fresh pic of my Daytona, just took it: I have to say it looks pretty gen for a rep, don't you think? Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exper Posted April 17, 2006 Report Share Posted April 17, 2006 I had the opportunity to wear a gen 116520 for the weekend while the friend whose gen it was wore my rep, I have to say we have it very good with this rep - its extremly close. Although, the pic would be better with no shirt at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Sql_pl Posted April 17, 2006 Report Share Posted April 17, 2006 Thank you cwai02. Exper - is there a possibility you could post some side by side pics of the rep and the gen? It would be great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to size down the pictures, or use any photo editing software to make two into one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

torresp Posted April 17, 2006 Report Share Posted April 17, 2006 @sql_pl: I have on the way a wg leather daytona from EL, I will post some pics comparing it with my 116520 ASAP- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exper Posted April 17, 2006 Report Share Posted April 17, 2006 I was meaning to ask actually, anyone gone for the aftermarket leather band ? Whats the quality like Namely: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ROLEX-GENUINE-BLK-LE...1QQcmdZViewItem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sql_pl Posted April 17, 2006 Report Share Posted April 17, 2006 Exper just look at the quality of the watch on the pics in that listing... and you have an answer. And if you wish to replace a bracelet on your 116520 with a strap you will face some problems like the half end link that is between the lugs on strap version. And the bezel is different.

Guest Sql_pl Posted April 17, 2006 Report Share Posted April 17, 2006 Here are pics comparing black dialed rep and gen! Pretty close! (Pics courtesy of member Steely) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steely Posted April 17, 2006 Report Share Posted April 17, 2006 Just wanted to post the pics, thanks Sql. Left one is genuine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eunomians Posted April 17, 2006 Report Share Posted April 17, 2006 Ahh ok, shorter pushers and more pointy ends to the crown guards. Perhaps a tiny bit more space between the 5 minute markers and the subdials. Essentially undiscernable details IMHO. What a great rep! I gotta get one.

Guest Sql_pl Posted April 17, 2006 Report Share Posted April 17, 2006 (edited) Plus you can make pushers look shorter simply by not screwing them totally in. Edited April 17, 2006 by Sql_pl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HighDef Posted April 18, 2006 Report Share Posted April 18, 2006 Great [censored]! I think both are genuine. What do you think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
halley Posted April 20, 2006 Report Share Posted April 20, 2006 I received this watch this past week with white dial, I think the dial is pretty good, I don't clearly see the spacing difference between the gen and rep. the main flaws too me are: overall thickness to accomodate the 7750 the pushers are perhaps shapped differently and too close from the crown the crown guards wrongly shapped again but I'm surprised how the crown look good and sharp compared to the previous version I had bezel certainly too thick and not flat on the dial: red daytona color, placement Good point the etched crown on the crystal is there but invisible with the naked eye trust me, I simply couldn't capture it on the pics I think I gen dial would be great on it but it's rare and expensive, but first thing to do is to reshape CG, I'm still undecided wether to fit or not gen crown and tube... I saw that gen crystals are on sale on the bay, I don't know if they can be fitted on the rep case? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fassi Posted May 12, 2006 Report Share Posted May 12, 2006 (edited) Have they recently improved the markers? They seem a lot more "pregnant" on the black dial. The markers on the white dial look better. Edited May 13, 2006 by Fassi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
