trailboss99 994 Posted July 17, 2014 Nice work Del. It may not be a "super rep" (whatever that actually is) but it's bloody good! On the wrist i doubt even a gen owner would notice unless things were pointed out to him/her. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JohnG 41 Posted July 17, 2014 thanks for posting to mee the rep seems 'perfect' and this is the v1 +1 If anyone doesn't think that is a fantastic rep, they need to just buy the gen and find a different hobby. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KarmaToBurn 1,419 Posted July 17, 2014 Great work! Love looking at these comparisons. I can rarely pick out the differences unless they are pointed out by you guys. Definitely wouldn't notice anything from an arms length away. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Libertatia 0 Posted July 17, 2014 Could you do a macro shot of the pearls? (as that is probably the key difference between gen and rep) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

midasmook 14 Posted July 17, 2014 I have intentionally not taken macro photos because this is a "real-life" comparison, i.e. how do the watches compare to the naked eye, which is what 99% of people are actually interested in. From the opening of the thread. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LHOOQ 0 Posted July 17, 2014 Excellent comparison, Del, and cheers to rusky for lending you his BB. I had the pleasure of handling the rep at a recent GTG. Sharp edges aside, it was a very good match with the gens I've viewed at various ADs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

golddusterrolex360 0 Posted July 18, 2014 (edited) The pearl to me is the biggest tell, easily fixed with a WM replacement. I am no expert on Tudors but if you got one that close nobody is going to be able to call that out as a rep unless they run serials on it. They both have eta movements so would easily pass the unscrew the crown and move the hands test unlike a submariner with an eta. Truly fantastic rep based on pics. Ain't nobody gonna tell the diference in dial blackness or print unless held up to a gen but even then you can claim fade from age or manufacturer variance. They even got the rehaut perfect, something I have yet to see on a sub. This one blows me away, might be my next purchase.........
