The more I wear it, the more I like it. I think I’m going to treat it to a double AR

Hi YES thanks !!!
I had tried the Gen before buying the Rep and the only really so so part on the Rep was the rubber strap ... good but far less confortable than the Gen one.
But I did not even checked the price before your post.
80€ on the B&R and ordered.....

Where did you see gen Rubber strap for this one for 80€ ?
On the Bell & Ross website it is listed for $165 which is about 140€

Thanks for confirming. Anyone owning the watch I urge you just to tighten the 4 x screws that holds the case together and the watch is water safe.

Enjoy the riviera, the Basque coat. Its so beautiful.

Can anyone confirm this? I like the idea of a waterproof rep, but can't really justify paying someone to do it for me.

Also, Chazing claims this is 12mm thick. Is that true? Thats pretty damn thin.

is 12mm thin nowadays ?

Anyway yes it's 12mm and yes if you tighten the screws most likely it's water resistant. But your mileage may vary

For a rep dive watch, that must be thin. I don't know of many that clock in under 13.

End of July I spent 2 weeks in Corsica and swimmed almost every day with that watch without any problem (never went lower than 3 meters down with it so I consider no diving).
I just put Seiko grease on every gasket and o-ring and tightened the screws on the case.
And washed it every day with clear fresh water of course.

Here’s mine. It glows very well. One of my best lumed watched out of the factory.
As you can see, orange lume as well. But it fades quickly. Still visible at night, but barely.
