yoyo123 0 Posted July 13, 2014 If you popped a gen crystal on this sucker, you would have the ultimate rep! Most people don't even know what they are looking for. Mostly WE are the ones who know the tells. Wear it confidently! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BentleySharp 0 Posted July 23, 2014 Great reveiw and comparison! The rep is an amazing likeness to the gen. Since we're being hyper-critical here, there's one difference you didn't point out, which is the dial font on the gen is the slightest bit thicker and just a hair's width spaced closer...No one would ever (Ever) be able to tell unless they are right next to each other and they had their eyeball pressed against the crystal, but, since we're being hyper-critical... Still, this is a remarkable replica. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rg500 0 Posted July 23, 2014 Fantastic review Rob, thanks for taking the time to do it. I have been looking at getting a ceramic GMT master and wondering how close the reps are to gen... I'll get a gen one of these days but for now I think a noob is the way to go. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Frazzle 5 Posted July 23, 2014 A great read here Rob, thanks for commuting the time to this thread. For me it has to be the vintage Pepsi, and one day just one day I will pick up an RA special! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
N.Rico 1 Posted July 23, 2014 VERY GOOD ! thanks for the review , like my brother says , at 60 miles per hour nobody can tell if its a REP or GEN . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mostly WE are the ones who know the tells. Wear it confidently! You are 100 percent correct! I have a gen explorer II and I didn't even know which hand stack my gen had UNTIL I started reading about them here! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fatarms 7,777 Posted September 15, 2015 How does one get ahold of or shop with the guy who made this rep? Pretty much any trusted dealer can get this watch. Trusted dealer link is at the top of every page in this forum. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Urminme 5 Posted March 4, 2018 Hey so why do photobucket pictures never show up on the forum when I'm reading posts? They just say "3rd party hosting has temporarily been disabled" not sure if this has been answered or not Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
