digital_sound 0 Posted December 15, 2013 I've been reading a lot of post regarding how crappy straps are on some of this Rep straight out of the box, so I stared doing a bit of research myself - and surprise I was to find that some of the Gen straps are no better looking even though they're on high end time pieces. Take for instance, these three watch from one of my favorite brands Vacheron Constantin, pay close attention the one on the far right, the 1972 Prestige - the strap looks like a very cheap knockoff even though it's cut from quality Crocodile skin. Here is another shot close up... And now my VC Overseas, at first I didn't like this Rep at all and was contemplating on selling it, but after a few wrist-rides around the block, it kinda grew on me... Especially after seeing how these straps look of these Gens costing well in the five figures. Hell, I think I faired out pretty well. Cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HeavyKrush 16 Posted December 15, 2013 I felt the same way about my Longines. The finish on the gator strap does not seem to match what I would expect a $2,500 watch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, and that's why I was certainly disappointed when I first recieved the VC Overseas watch... but then once I stared doing more research that's when I realized - hey, the Rep Factory was on point with the likeness from the Gen!
