HWG 11 Posted September 26, 2012 Ok, here it is, the awaited photo comparison between rep Tag Aquaracer 500m Chrono, and Gen. I only have the iphone, as the good camera is on loan. Bottom line, this rep is very accurate to gen. For the price of the rep, it seems a no brainer to me. Side by side: Rep: Gen: Rep: Gen: Casebacks: Rep: Gen: DW on rep is not as bold faced on gen. Rep: Gen: Lume: rep on left, gen on right: Again, the tells on the rep, at least to my non-professional eye are the DW bold type, the pearl, and the tightness of the rep clasp. However, compared price wise, the rep is just stellar, and I would not hesitate buying it. Thanks for looking! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nisv 0 Posted September 26, 2012 Thanks for sharing Amazing how close to the gen it is, you'd have to be an AD to be able to tell the difference Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HWG 11 Posted September 26, 2012 Thanks Nisv, its scary close. It doesnt make me regret buying the gen though! But for those who are so picky about their rep being close to gen, this one is a winner in my book! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jacobarch 0 Posted September 26, 2012 couple of things that popped out at me. The pearl and the color of the arrow on the seconds hand. Other than that its hella good......it's funny that instantly I know what to look for now compared to 3 or 4 months ago. I guess I have rwg to thank for that Anyways thats a hell of a rep. just superlume change the bezel and you got a really good 1:1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fatarms 7,758 Posted September 26, 2012 Awesome pics. Bummed I didn't get a crack at the rep in M2M, but probably just as well. Been on a spending spree lately and I need to chill. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sorry, it sold privately to a local guy, who also happens to be a member of the forum! Dont worry, I foresee a sales thread for a few other things soon......

Higs 73 Posted September 26, 2012 Are there different versions of this rep? If so, which is this one? And who did you get it from? (and who's your favourite spice girl?) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HWG 11 Posted September 26, 2012 your pics have gotten....um...er....um....hmmmm..... Hey, I said all I had was the iphone, as the good DSLR was on loan for a couple of days. Couple that with being in a rush because I am doing this from work, equals less than dingle approved pics I suppose. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
