Sbybbuser 0 Posted April 14, 2015 I will let the pictures do the talking. I am not too good with details like font size or font shape. I will only cover areas that I think can be detected easily (if you hold the watch side by side). On the wrist, I think the reps nowadays are too good to be seen as rep easily. Gen is on black gator strap. Rep is on Gunny Calf Strap LUME COLOR Lume is darker on the rep. I was worried that the lume on the hand won't match the lume on the dial on the rep. But mine has a uniform lume color.. CASE SIZE & SHAPE The rep case is thicker compared to gen. It is quite a lot. I would say 2mm difference in thickness. The overall is case is also looks bigger on the rep. I don;t have a clipper with me but it does look that way. (as can be seen in the pic) The lug shape is also different. The gen has slimmer and longer look compared to rep. CASEBACK Movement is upside down. CROWN GUARD SHAPE GEN: REP: Not really significant difference that I can report. That's all folks. Overall, it is a nice rep. I am used to 44mm pam so this one somehow feels small. But if I compare it to a Rolex watch, it actually almost the same size as a Rolex Submariner (the pam is slightly larger). Hopefully it helps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NFleischer 4,355 Posted April 14, 2015 The rep is pretty good, not super rep or anything I tried on the real one recently, nice nut not worth almost $8K Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheInthusiest 0 Posted April 14, 2015 Why can't they ever do the movement right side-up? Nice post, op! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sbybbuser 0 Posted April 14, 2015 The used gen is priced at USD5k over here. Still not worth it if you ask me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
plankton 1 Posted April 14, 2015 Case is noticeable, hmm. Lume should be closer.... I thought this was a closer example than it is. Nice review and thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ShadyManc 0 Posted April 14, 2015 I was keen on the gen of this, tried it on in the Dallas Boutique and found it too small for my tastes but it's a beautiful watch, the nearest to a Panerai dress watch as I've seen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lachsersatz 0 Posted April 30, 2015 Very nice indeed. Does anybody know whether it would be an easy fix (for a watchsmith/modder) to rotate the rep movement by 180 degrees and reinstall it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
greg_r 81 Posted April 30, 2015 Very nice indeed. Does anybody know whether it would be an easy fix (for a watchsmith/modder) to rotate the rep movement by 180 degrees and reinstall it? Um. No. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheSav 2 Posted April 30, 2015 Very nice indeed. Does anybody know whether it would be an easy fix (for a watchsmith/modder) to rotate the rep movement by 180 degrees and reinstall it? You could just wear it upside down! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stuvetjee 17 Posted April 30, 2015 Not to forget to mention is the crown ''stamping''. Gen has visible stamp and the rep is slightly engraved from what i see. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
