robertb Posted September 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2008 Man that was quick, you guys don't mess around! I was hoping to see some posts about how it could be improved to be a true 1:1 rep. Oh well, I picked up this gen last weekend and thought I would share, I blurred out the BB# and the LE#.

bwhitesox Posted September 6, 2008 Report Share Posted September 6, 2008 Robert either your are smoking some of the good stuff or that is a kick ass rep....I'm leaning towards the good stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FxrAndy Posted September 6, 2008 Report Share Posted September 6, 2008 I think you need a good hand made strap for that, I make a couple of these the prices are to fit a rep watch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchmeister Posted September 6, 2008 Report Share Posted September 6, 2008 Beautiful watch. But you forgot to eliminate the 1 in the serial number. Standard rep is #0117. And one look at that crown says it all. The finish on the gen crown is infinitely better. Most importantly, congratulations on a beautiful watch that doubles as an investment. It is certainly doing better than the global stock markets, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

archibald Posted September 7, 2008 Report Share Posted September 7, 2008 Congrats! A great watch and IMO an investment that ought to return 25-40% over the next couple years!! Having looked at a gazillion rep/gen pics and held more than a few rep and gen fiddy parts side by side here are the big instant-tell diffs aside from the SN# and movement. --The six on all 3 versions of the gen dials is less rounded than any version of the rep dial I've seen. --The EL dial fonts are the right color but are slightly thinner than all but the "3rd" version gen dial. --DSN dial fonts are dead on but, since he is DSN, he somehow used gray ink instead of beige. --The gen CG pin is larger and flatter than any rep pin, modded or stock --The dots on the Gen "reg TM" are square. On the rep they're round. --The gen crown is better finished and the teeth are "crooked." Having stared atr gen and rep crowns side by side for long periods of time I'm convinced that a rep crown can be modded/polished to match w/ a little skill. I wouldn't be surprised if the gen crown was CNC'd to look something like the rep and then hand finished. --The rep sapphire will definitely need subtle single AR --It's so hard to tell the difference between the shape of the rep and gen hands and crystal from pics, you'd almost have to see them side by side, which I have not yet done.

robertb Posted September 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 Thanks guys, the watch is stunning in person and I'm glad I finally pulled the trigger on one. I don't think I'll ever sell it but maybe my kids will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bwhitesox Posted September 8, 2008 Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 That watch is truly amazing Robert...Big congrats on the purchase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lazarini Posted September 8, 2008 Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 Awesome pickup and as many said a great investment... enjoy it! Regards Laz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulw Posted September 8, 2008 Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 It would be a privilege to own the gen, most envious. My DSN rep is the watch that receives more attention, is the most comfortable, and most distracting when I drive; can't stop looking at it.
