I have both rep and gen for carrera calibre 16 day date chrono

 

I'm not buying from your dealer. However from the pic its almost the same rep.

 

there are many flaws.

 

1) The black dial color is a bit different.

2) The red chrono needle and the color of a word "automatic" is dark red. While the gen is a bit red-orange. this is one of the most obvious one.

3) The screw in the backcase of the machine is blue, actually is white.

4) The word "tachymetre" is a bit bold on the rep, while the gen have thinner font.

5) the sapphire glass color is different too. the gen have better and bright blue-purple color (during day time). (some reps production might have different color, but i can assure i prefer the gen color)

6) The wheel machine in the back is easier to move,

7) The rep for a word "TAG" on the bracelet is not as think/bold as the gen.

 

Besides this 7, there are still some other minor flaw. But still worth to buy. I personnaly love the watch. Its my favorite sport watch ever!! =)

 

Great to hear tips from someone with both gen/rep 1st hand. Thanks!

Again, aren't these issues things that only people from this forum (and perhaps a skilled AD, not just some flunky on the sales floor) would notice?

Looking for this watch, found a few on the sites from TD however none seem to have the black painted crown..... This one here does, which dealer did you buy from?

I love this watch. I've had the D/D rep with CF dial (gen model no CV2A17.FC6235 for reference and if anyone wants to compare gen with rep) for around 3 years now. Sure some of it is a little off, but no one, and I mean no one, other than peeps like us who are into all this, can tell. I've even had a few people ask me if it's for sale.

 

Wear it, enjoy it. It's a great everyday piece that isn't to in your face but is loud enough to notice.

 

Thanks

P.
