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.

+1

 

If anyone doesn't think that is a fantastic rep, they need to just buy the gen and find a different hobby.

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.

Could you do a macro shot of the pearls? (as that is probably the key difference between gen and rep)

Oh well I suppose you can't please everyone.

[midasmook 14]

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.

Thanks all!

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.

Del, thank you for taking the time to showing us these details. Though it may look like something simple to do, I think is not very much so.

 

Cheers!

The minor differences are visible but if this isn't a super rep it's close.

[LeandroBR 14]

Well done Del ! thanks for sharing !

[Del 4,437]

Thanks all. Glad you all enjoyed it.

Wow v1 pearl is actually quite close to the gen.... Looks different from a far though! Thanks a lot for this!

[Banterbay 0]

Wow. You have just made my day. One of the best reviews indeed. Thanks for sharing it with the house. Definitely my next watch!

[golddusterrolex360 0]

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.........
