Dang it, I can't tell which one's the gen because none has the hands at 10:10

I've got a blue smurfmariner from BK as well and love it. Good to see the pearl is real close to the gen as well.

Strange thing - rep. has more "sunburst" dial. End links are different too.

The GEN is an older model with diffrent endlinks and drilled lugs.

 

The sunburst is actually spot on but the pics dont show that as well.

 

I need to take better pics...

That TT BK is incredible. I'm pretty sure you could hand it to me in the wild and I would pronounce it gen.

How much did you drop on that? I'm guessing about a $thousand?

Rep. crown is much bigger, and gen. bezel is significantly thinner. Also, different clasps. But overall - quite close.

Superb - these reps are getting so good - with a reliable swiss movement in there it gets to the point of who really cares??

 

But those differences once pointed out start to bug you - spring bars, bracelet end links, crown, hour and minute hands, AR - but we are nerds guys - no one else would give a flying F$%^K :lol:

Most of those dffrences you guys see are because the GEN is a much older model and the Rep is based on the newer models.
