Hey everyone.

Was wondering what JLC models, in your opinion, are the closest to gen. I generally purchase from chazing time.

If you’re lucky you can also look for a Puretime Tribute to Reverso 1931 but it’s a quartz (Ronda) movement. This version is out of stock/discontinued though so good luck finding one. There is also another version that does look just as good but the “Reverso” caseback has the screws visible which is not completely like Gen. To me the Puretime version is a super rep and I own both the Noob Navy Seals Diver Master Compressor & the Reverso. Both look amazing on the wrist!

I’ll have to look around for that puretime version. Any pics to show?

This one was my first rep and I’ve been very happy with the quality. I did have to repaint the bezel but all in all an amazing JLC Rep (NWBIG SuperRep)

Did you need to repaint the whole bezel or just the white?
What caused the need to repaint?
Just asking so I can tailor my care of the watch,
Thanks.

Just the white/greyish marks on the bezel. Not really sure what caused it as I just use it for my office job. It was my daily beater, so maybe scuffs with my clothes here and there but never bathed/swam with it. Can’t say for sure as it only happened on the 12-4 marks and not on the rest.

I made a post on this in the JLC section of the forum if you would like to see the pics.
