gioarmani 2 Posted January 7, 2010 Quick reference/pictoral guide to the difference between the new Sea Dweller rep & the Gen. Of course, i didn't buy it, I just picked it up. And here's a little goodie the post-man brought me today... Modded the CGs, lubed & water-proofed it to at least 6 ATMS, replaced the insert & pearl, sized it, polished the bracelet, rounded the edges, etc. Here's a no-frills comparison between the new modded model and the gen SD--gen on top, rep on bottom. Enjoy! Even before the mods, it still wasn't as bad as I had anticipated. I do agree with By-Tor, that the rehaut/crystal/gasket area could use some work. but honestly not disappointing once on the wrist. I also added a gen diver's extension (note the black link-screw): Here's it's cousin, my Sub: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gioarmani 2 Posted January 7, 2010 Better pics of just the rep, in better light. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mbjoer 0 Posted January 7, 2010 Great pictures for Rollie addicts. In my book the rep is excellent and this direct comparison just confirms that I will need the original right next to the rep to tell the difference. Only thing I was wondering about: Is there a crown in the crystal of the Gen? Can't see it on your pictures, and it seems that the visible crown on the Rep may be the easiest tell.

gioarmani 2 Posted January 7, 2010 Yes, there is a crown on the gen actually--those made after 2005 or 2006, I believe. You can see it more prominently in my rep because I shot them outside in natural light. Here's another comparison on mine & then the gen: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
