For a Rep strap and clasp, it is better than I expected and better than most Rep straps. The only thing I don't like is the double folding clasp is centered at 8:00 o'clock on my 6.75" wrist. If I order a custom strap from ZicZac it will fit well. I had to do this on a recent IWC with the same type of clasp. I will be adding the Gen Bracelet on Monday. Overall the watch is a great Rep. You will not be disappointed

I normally use Chrome. But to tag you and Old Navi I had to use $%^&*() Microsoft's Edge aka Explorer to make the post without an error. I opened both, copied the link into Edge, made the post, and went back to the Chrome screen. It worked better than dealing with the errors. No wasted time.

Hi Guys

Some expert needed: would a gen B01 movement fit this watch?

I assume it is thicker and the datewheel will be sunken?

The green looks good, barley notice the date wheel!

I think the ticks are off color on the green version. I looked at the gen in store the other day and they're supposed to be silver while they look light gold on the rep.

Edit: I was looking at the premier rep on a different website. Ticks are fine on this version.

Finally got mine. Very happy with the end result. Nicely executed watch with quality finish and construction. Would definitely recommend!

I’ve got one of these from KS in the UK. It’s absolutely bang on. My wife has an gen omega Speedmaster 39 which has a similar movement. Rotor sounds the same, time setting seems the same, winding feels the same.

Dial is amazing colour and changes in different light as the day goes on. Amazing. Love it


Love Rolex, Omega and Tudor.

Looks sharp bro. How is the rep strap?

Surprisingly good. Not great, but very wearable. I tried to put a rep Breitling mesh on it but it won’t fit. The spring bar holes are too close to the case. Bummer.

When I installed the gen bracelet it took me a while. The end links slide in at a strange angle. I think it took me 15 minutes to finally install the bracelet. The location of the holes must be the reason I had so much trouble.

These look amazing.

I have been looking for a decent Transocean rep, but the pictures here have changed my mind!
