FuzzyCoyote 2 Posted July 19, 2014 Thanks for that Del.... At first glancing it does look very good. It's only when you really look that you can see those tells hitch is pretty good. Might have to get me one of these at some point when the v2 / v3 is about. Cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Markrfc 3 Posted July 20, 2014 Great review Del, just picked up a V1 do you know if it can be frankened with gen plexi and insert? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
millionaire wannabe 1 Posted July 20, 2014 The differences are nearly imperceptible! Amazing. This is on my wish list for sure, though I think I'd get a grey dial if they made it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Del 4,437 Posted July 20, 2014 Great review Del, just picked up a V1 do you know if it can be frankened with gen plexi and insert? Nice pick up mate. Don't know about going franken but the gen crystal is sapphire, not plexi. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ShovelnTC 31 Posted July 20, 2014 Great review Del, just picked up a V1 do you know if it can be frankened with gen plexi and insert? I really don't think it needs it mate, minimal improvement for maximum expense IMHO! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stuvetjee 17 Posted August 7, 2014 I would be easily fooled with these two. Really the rep is awesome build. As for the crown engraving, fill it up with more black enamel? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tframo 0 Posted August 7, 2014 Is the v2 bb any closer to the gen? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Del 4,437 Posted August 7, 2014 Is the v2 bb any closer to the gen? I believe that there are some minor cosmetic improvements in the v2 so, in theory, yes. In the real world though, probably hardly noticeable without all versions side by side in a light tent. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bulldog72 0 Posted August 12, 2014 Thanks Del. This is a great comparison. I don't think in a real world situation you would ever be called out on this one. What kind of strap is that on the gen? It looks awsome! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Del 4,437 Posted August 12, 2014 Thanks Del. This is a great comparison. I don't think in a real world situation you would ever be called out on this one. What kind of strap is that on the gen? It looks awsome! Thanks, glad you enjoyed it! The strap on my gen is the leather strap that it was supplied with - I preferred this to the s/s bracelet. It's really smart, especially with the deployant, and I think it really compliments the watch very well.

Markrfc 3 Posted August 12, 2014 Del only one thing missing you need these. http://www.rwg.bz/board/index.php?showtopic=83815 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bulldog72 0 Posted August 13, 2014 I was afraid you were going to say that about the strap. I am really thinking about picking one of these up to put on a NATO but now I am I. Lust with the gen leather. Time to see if I can find one somewhere. And the addiction continues... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
