WatchaholicMallorca 2 Posted July 4, 2017 Hi mate. I'm being careful with it, but the bracelet scratches easily. It has quite a few deskdives and hairlines Other than that, still mint! Out of interest, how to the scratches show up? can you see the Stainless underneath? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Monkey_Business 0 Posted July 5, 2017 No, i have yet to see any stainless on both watch case and bracelet. My impression of the gold plating is very good this far :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Diver Dave 0 Posted July 11, 2017 (edited) Beautiful watch! I'm sure the gen costs quite a pretty penny, might be a lame question but what would you say if someone questioned you based on your watch? I'm sure i would definitely be shocked if someone had 30k on their wrist. Nobody ever seems to question anyone on their watch. If you look like a poor slob you're either (A) a poor slob with a rep and nobody could give a shit, or (B) you're wealthy and just dressing casually and nobody gives a shit either. I see $30K watches on peoples wrists nearly every day. I probably see 50 Gold Rolex's a week.Nobody even notices them. Most of them are dressed in shorts and a shirt and boat shoes, AKA "they look like slobs". Nobody looks at their watches.All of them could be wearing the shittiest reps and nobody would even see them. I wear both my Gens and my reps nearly daily in the same venue, and nobody notices my watches either. I sat next to one of my passengers two days ago (he wanted to "watch the pilot fly") and he was wearing an obvious Gen Panerai Chrono, and I was wearing my rep Panerai chrono. In the mid-range of money two Paneristi would recognize each other and exchange greetings He never even noticed it. People at that end of the scale don't even bother to notice. I toss on my Gen solid gold GMT now and then and it's invisible. The poor don't know what it is, and the rich don't care. I guess it all depends on where you are walking. A bit of a segue, but I am seeing a LOT of women wearing Gen Rolex mens watches, Subs, GMT's and Explorers. Usually on colored nylon straps, as "beach wear". And I am seeing their husbands wearing those same sports Rolex watches on straps as well, shunning the bracelets, again as "beach wear". One of my regular passengers wears a gold Sub with a blue face, on a blue and yellow nylon strap. Looks good, considering that I'm bringing him from his yacht back to the city after a weekend afloat. . Edited July 11, 2017 by Diver Dave Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Undinist 20 Posted November 6, 2017 4pekatt, I love your pics so much I bought the same watch! Delighted with it, but puzzled by the shade of gold: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Monkey_Business 0 Posted November 7, 2017 Glad to hear! Gratz! :-) I can't bring you clarity as far as shades of gold goes - But in addition to the ordinary yellow gold and everose, they have the extremely yellow gold basel daytona which definately has a different shade. As for the repped versions, I bet you'll get variations from watch to watch - But if you put two genuine YG submariners together, they will have the same shade. No doubt.
