On the wrist it’s very good. That said I did mod the bezel lip slightly and will fit a gen crystal but fat lugs is rubbish and you don’t notice the slightly shorter minute hand in realilfe. These are blown up picture syndromes!

I am asking because what you quoted is allegedly modded. So the OOTB bezel would be probably 100% identical to the one on submariner. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Certainly in the shaded picture there is a line through the 8 / 6. but more over the replica almost looks flat, there is almost a bevel to the numbers that gives a more 3D effect on the gen Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's kind of visible on the red 8.@pbwatch are you able to post some close ups on the bezel insert? Sent from my LYA-L29 using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Btw, wouldn't it be odd if CF, that makes pretty much best OOTB sub inserts screwed the GMT one? The engravings on their submariner inserts were very decent IMO...

Aramis2288 6,253 Posted July 19, 2021 So one mate answered the question on RWI. Apparently he is both a gen and rep owner. Check his photos out:Sent from my LYA-L29 using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, my issue is that when they made a replica I did not have an idea about rep world (and probably cash to buy them). Now they are unachievable outside of rare M2M which disappear in 2 seconds.... The white unicorn poo color variant just proves that the ploprof is an ultimate watch. You can dive with it, you can kill somebody with it, you can wear it to your wedding as well. Because white = classy. Edited July 20, 2021 by Aramis2288 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
