anton Posted July 7, 2008 Report Share Posted July 7, 2008 I believe another seller on RWI has posted up these pics about a couple weeks ago asking for user's opinions on the upcoming rep. Here is the gen: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuDro Posted July 7, 2008 Report Share Posted July 7, 2008 Interesting... Doesn't do any justice to the real-deal...Looks way to "cheapy"... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir-Lancelot Posted July 7, 2008 Report Share Posted July 7, 2008 Sorry to those that will like it, but it's just fugg'n yuck in my opinion. The gen and the rep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asiparks Posted July 7, 2008 Report Share Posted July 7, 2008 erm, wow ! makes me want to go and hug a Graham...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicken Manny Posted July 7, 2008 Report Share Posted July 7, 2008 Love Zenith......Hate these to the Xtreme! Just looked at some in a dealer today and still hate them. With that said the rep looks worse than the gen. Wow, I feel better now after my rant! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK471 Posted July 7, 2008 Report Share Posted July 7, 2008 I'm not a fan of either gen or rep. The gen just looks to overdone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoobs1971 Posted July 7, 2008 Report Share Posted July 7, 2008 Does look cheapo. Also the subdial spacing is way off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dadog13 Posted July 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2008 Does look cheapo. Also the subdial spacing is way off. that will always be so (or until they don't copy the mvt sub dial spacing)...the gen is using the el primero mvt...

scoobs1971 Posted July 7, 2008 Report Share Posted July 7, 2008 that will always be so (or until they don't copy the mvt sub dial spacing)...the gen is using the el primero mvt... That's why I don't like it at all For me subdial spacing is also a part of the design. Still can't get used to the off spacing on the Moonwatch either. But I know I'm terrible, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolexman Posted July 7, 2008 Report Share Posted July 7, 2008 butt ugly! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samurai Posted July 7, 2008 Report Share Posted July 7, 2008 Yikes.... thought they might make a good rep....this one is definitely butt ugly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vric Posted July 7, 2008 Report Share Posted July 7, 2008 I love Zenith (and if I ever buy a gen, it would surely be one) but this is simply butt ugly. Great Case, but the dial.... not my taste Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fotoman Posted July 7, 2008 Report Share Posted July 7, 2008 looks like it came out of the same place as the 100 dollar concords i'd be all over a super rep version after looking at some Gen photos i think the problem is the bezel font - thats what is making it look cheap. cause the rest of it, isn't that far off. now, we should be getting super reps like this one!!!1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

italiano17771 Posted July 8, 2008 Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 damn i love this watch....just wish the rep was a little more accurate. even if they did the bracelet with ss and pvd for the center links....should not be all pvd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emuozz Posted July 8, 2008 Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 (edited) This watch it’s awful and also the rep. The apparent flaws are the wrong subdial spacing and weaker date mag and date font, the font of the inner ring it’s different (where it says High pressure...)also the number 1000 and its size probably because of the different subdial spacing. Ugly watch (both) erm, wow ! makes me want to go and hug a Graham...... Edited July 8, 2008 by emuozz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KB Posted July 8, 2008 Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 This is not the Defy that I like, there is another (I will find the pic when I have more time) with the fan dial up higher on the left hand side and much larger and it really does look great.

dadog13 Posted July 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 Uh, sorry. Deleted my post and merged it here. I was just kidding... and it seems that this new release has to be re-done, I mean a couple of flaws need to be fixed...maybe these are just sample pieces and not final products (I hope so!)

Watchman Posted July 8, 2008 Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 Even if they get the case, dial, bracelet etc. right some time, the movement will always tell the tale. I don't think there will ever be a copy of "El Primero". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think there will ever be a copy of "El Primero". we doubted about the running sec at 12 as well...now it's here...chinese magicians will strike in the future again, don't worry! I think they will make the big date mvt as well...and some others too.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iceberg1127 Posted July 8, 2008 Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 its not bad, I agree with what was said, but I think branching off to more obscure brands is a step in the right direction. There was supposed to be a concord c1 coming out in mid june. there were pics on joshes and andrews website. now that watch has dissapeared from radar. I would much rather save up for that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
