alistairw 0 Posted November 24, 2010 B) Well I bit the bullet and decided introduce my 9 yo son to the world of watches. Opted to bid for a Gen watch, rather than get him a Rep (Xmas present) on Ebay. Found a ripper, see what you think. Dial looks sensational, AR is pretty good, water tested to 5 atm (as good as my Rep Sub - at a tenth of the price), Shock proof and movement is Japanese Quartz!!! Will keep an eye out for the Rep and give you all a review on how close it is to this Gen. Sorry you'll have to wait until Xmas day for the wrist shots :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Akira 0 Posted November 24, 2010 Love it Big Star Wars fan myself... Your son will love it, but why do you want him to cheer for the darkside B)? Stormtrooperdial! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aren 27 Posted November 24, 2010 Alistair He will love it. What a great gift. You will be raising an addict though. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree you know Congratulations and don't forget to post some wristies with him modeling his new watch after he receives it. All the Best, Arenaria Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WebWind 1 Posted November 24, 2010 Very nice! May The Force Be With You! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bob bean 0 Posted November 24, 2010 For your "son", yea right! Just resize that baby, get it on your wrist and take some eye candy wrist-shots for us all too drool over. And then you can spend the rest of the week walking in and out every AD in the land, with a roosters strut, safe in the knowledge that none of the counter monkeys will attempt to call you out. May the force be with you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Del 4,463 Posted November 24, 2010 That is superb! My youngest son would love that - might go and check out Fleabay..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
turnipz 0 Posted November 25, 2010 I notice the spacing between the lugs is wrong Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alistairw 0 Posted November 25, 2010 The rotating bezel more than compensates for the lug spacing issue. Might have to relume the hands to give it that 'out of this world' look... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mystery Shopper 5,887 Posted November 25, 2010 I remember reading somewhere Robert does factory relume. Maybe PM him Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Eiderdaus 0 Posted November 25, 2010 bezel looks weird, are you sure it´s a gen ? always thought the gen has polished midlinks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

trailboss99 994 Posted November 25, 2010 Yeah, looks like the "incorrect 30" bezel to me and the dial font is off. You got ripped man! That ain't a Lego, it's a fake! Col. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alistairw 0 Posted November 25, 2010 SHIT!!!!! I checked it with the Loupe, I could have swarn it had the correct 30. Trailboss99 you're ruined my night, mate you know how to pick a fake. Jes' I hope my son doesn't realise Christmas day it's only a REP! I might even put it on the 'Lego' watch forum and see if anyone on there picks the faults!

Dendo 93 Posted November 25, 2010 SHIT!!!!! I checked it with the Loupe, I could have swarn it had the correct 30. Trailboss99 you're ruined my night, mate you know how to pick a fake. Jes' I hope my son doesn't realise Christmas day it's only a REP! I might even put it on the 'Lego' watch forum and see if anyone on there picks the faults! I really doubt anyone is going to notice. If he wears it with confidence I am sure he can pass it off. Less than 50% of Lego wearers would really notice and there are many different versions. If he asks, tell him it is a limited edition. Just do not get him started at such an early age worrying about flaws (it definitely needs a relume tho mate - I would try to get that done before Christmas).

Those Lego guys are worse than Paneristi. They will crucify you for posting a rep on Lego Forum. I heard about a bloke from Mumbai who posted a rep race car drivers head, they tracked him down in a city of 18 million people, burned his house to the ground, tied him to a giant Lego anchor and chucked him in the Ganges.
