I purchased a franken hulk: V6s noob, sa3135, gen bezel, gen inset, gen retainer, insert, gen crown and tube, gen crystal, VG date wheel, rebrushed, Relume, 100m pressure tested.

The dial is lighter. It doesn’t look like it gets dark from you he photos, but it does (not as dark and does so at different angles. I panicked because they are so similar in real life. The remembered the inside of the gen is polished and the v6s is brushed. Less than half the price an nobody would know. So what does a man do with two amazing watches?!?!?

For me there is no question even “nobody knows”, if you can keep the gen keep the gen!!

I second this too mate! Especially for this particular model, its value is on the rise and I can only imagine that one day the pricing on it would be sky high. As always, nothing beats gen, so do not even think of selling your gen and keeping the franken instead. Prolly if you want, you can keep the gen inside the box and wear it once in a while, whilst you can wear that franken everyday without worrying of scratches and sort. But then again, it is all up to you, just sharing my 2 cents here man ;)

Interesting idea. Box the gen and wear the rep. She really would never know... Hmmm

I think you could, but as minor changes are made by rolex to proudly say they have made changes... the rep companies matched. Now it is polished, so the companies will follow.

Other than the inside of the braclet clasp (brushed) and the dial reflective color at times... in person, i was hard pressed to see the differences.

I’ll post more comparisons photos this weekend if any are interested. Are there any specific shots people are interested in? I may as well document these two as much as possible. I’ll be putting the rep on the market. I’d have been happy with either and I thought this rep is near perfect.

It’s a no brainer. Keep the gen, of course! And sell me your V6S!

The color of the v6s is slightly different green but all in all it looks pretty damn good.

Wow. Impressive. How long did it take you to find all the gen parts?
