Was able to compare the gen to the rep this weekend in NYC during the WatchTime event. Couldn’t get side by side photos as it would have been too obvious. I will say this, the people from the BR booth didn’t even bat an eye when they were looking at my watch. The showed me the limited edition blue dial bronze version that is only available in the US. Did not like it one bit. Lug screws on rep are not bronze like on gen. Also, rep crown has some sort of gloss polish over the top of the & logo which does not allow it to patina like the gen. Overall these are both minor flaws IMO. I will be replacing the rep strap with the gen version and I will also be ordering the actual bronze lug screws. Finding a gen crown will be more difficult.
