Triodus Posted May 21, 2008 Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 Hey Guys, I just purchased a Gen Breitling Diver Pro Band for my SOH to replace the Rep Rubber Band that I had gotten for it. I thought it would be nice to show a few side by side comparison shots. One huge difference between the two is the dust repelling qualities of the Gen, the Rep band attracts dust like a magnet. They both feel really nice on the wrist, but I just can't stand how dusty the look of the Rep band gets, hope you enjoy! "SOF" Rep is on the left , Gen on the right. Notice the differnce in the wing logo and shape of the Buckle. Gen is attatched to the watch. Notice end keeper on Gen band is narrower and has stamping. Stamping missing from Rep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuDro Posted May 21, 2008 Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 Thanks for posting this! I've always wondered about the difference between two. I guess the gen is worth buying, considering I've seen them sell for around $75... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

12BGT350 Posted May 21, 2008 Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 Is that a 22mm strap? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triodus Posted May 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 Is that a 22mm strap? Yes, It is marked 20-22 mm. "SOF" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P4GTR Posted May 21, 2008 Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 Nice comp. Ive been wanting to see this for a while too. Thanks, enjoy the new strap! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rogerthat Posted May 22, 2008 Report Share Posted May 22, 2008 Nice strap, gen worth the extra $$$, but think you should look for a 24/20 version for the SHO. Cheers, M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, M I know what you mean, there is a very small gap between the band and lugs. Bearly noticable unless you know it is there. I can live with it for now. Maybe later I will. Thanks.

AMK000 Posted May 22, 2008 Report Share Posted May 22, 2008 I would also guess that the rep strap is not "Dust-Repelling" , right ??? I have the gen ... amd the gen is andi-dust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phaedo Posted May 22, 2008 Report Share Posted May 22, 2008 Although the loo is different between the rep and gen, I think they recently changed to the raised logo, so older style would be engraved on the gen like the rep is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turboGUATE Posted May 22, 2008 Report Share Posted May 22, 2008 I too think the $85 price for the gen is very reasonable for the quality you get. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
