xnview 0 Posted May 12, 2014 So I got my first rep about a month ago, and now I've just received my 2nd. I went for a CrPo with a 2836 asian copy Compared to the gen I tried in a store: I can see there are some small tells, but I really like it and will probably buy the gen at some point Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheOmegaFan 0 Posted May 12, 2014 Looks 100% BP to me. People even can't see if it's noob or BP. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nuttcrac69 2 Posted May 12, 2014 Other than the pearl I can't see much wrong with it (Not that I am an expert). If you told me the gen was a rep I would have believed you. Enjoy the watch! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thank you It's a BP from Josh, it really looks a lot better in real life, my iPhone pictures can't really justify the look of it Wow. Many people prefer noob but not much of them can point the differences between BP one. I thought noob made texturized dial which is more closer to gen. But BP has it too.

Many people prefer noob but not much of them can point the differences between BP one. I thought noob made texturized dial which is more closer to gen. But BP has it too. Yeah I know, I believe that on the wrist you can't really tell the big difference between noob and bp. The guy in the store told me that when the AR coating (on gen) got scratched you could just take a polishing machine to remove the outer AR coting, and because the glass is sapphire and the bezel is ceramic it wouldn't get scratched.. Doing it on the rep would almost certain cause fading bezel issue Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Was wondering if this happens to CrPO too? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

samadkins29 0 Posted May 13, 2014 Other than the pearl I can't see much wrong with it (Not that I am an expert). If you told me the gen was a rep I would have believed you. Enjoy the watch! The pearl is correct, Noobs is the incorrect one. After looking at both, Noobs has a tendency to be too shallow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The pearl is correct, Noobs is the incorrect one. After looking at both, Noobs has a tendency to be too shallow. Thanks for the info, but I was comparing to the gen. The gen looks more centred to me. Could also just be the angle of the picture? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes the pearl are not centered as good as the gen, but in real life it actually are a lot less visible then I expected Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hornet 1 Posted May 13, 2014 Lovely, lovely watch...... ......say hello to my slightly less-new PO ....which is BP factory version. Couldn't get the Noob one for love nor money in this version. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Left Coast Guy 24 Posted May 13, 2014 I've seen mine next to a gen and most obvious difference is the topcoat on the black of the dial. The gen has a texture to it that is visible, the rep is more of a flat, matte black. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DR3M3L 4 Posted May 13, 2014 This is one of the best reps available IMO Wear it in good health! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vreds 0 Posted May 13, 2014 Other than the pearl I can't see much wrong with it (Not that I am an expert). If you told me the gen was a rep I would have believed you. Enjoy the watch! Gen has thicker numerals on the date wheel too (doesn't gen have silver numerals while rep has white?). But you are right, it's close to impossible to see if its a rep or not.

Could also just be the angle of the picture? For sure! The Noob has better placement (looking at another thread). But again, it could be just the pictures. Its close enough all around compared to the gen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Walesy 0 Posted August 23, 2014 Looks lovely mate, had a look at these yesterday in the Airport. Got my juices flowing but...I don't think I would buy a gen Omega for some reason. The reps do me...like this, looks brilliant. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
medezonok 0 Posted August 26, 2014 To be pleasant to me this reр, but my friend bought one of them and in a year of figure on the bezel were almost erased. It afflicts! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
