I mean i agree on different Brushing's between Gen and Rep. But man nobody will see a different Steel. For example the Smurf is Gen WG but in Rep SS so i an understand theres a difference. But you cannot tell in RL on wrist or even in hands the different SS man. ive seen Gen vs Rep Comparison's the Steel is the last problem we should solve haha EDIT: for me there is no issue with the current SS watches if you held a Gen in the one hand and the Rep in the other and you couldnt spot something in the SS there's no Tell.

I meant that it looked rough, English is not my native tongue, but I guess you had a good laugh at someone for making a mistake. Good for you Paardelul.

Not sure what is the point of your rudeness. And if you insult someone (PAARDELUL) at least make sure they can understand your insult.

I have got the latest version and I have to say that the bezel is too loose compared to genuine and it's pretty annoying because it keeps slipping.

So like an idiot I tried to fix it myself by stretching the springs on underneath the bezel. The clicker was okay but as I'm sure you know I'm going to say the three ball bearing type pieces attached to the springs catapulted out of the watch when I was trying to refit them and they appear to have disappeared into another dimension. Does anybody know where you can get hold of a new set of springs and ball bearing heads? I don't want to buy another watch for the sake of some tiny parts I'm sure the genuine parts are ridiculously expensive but I'm prepared to shell out for some so I can fix the bezel on a little bit OCD with this sort of stuff and bezels that slip are a sure sign of a replica.

PS,
apart from that this watch is nothing short of spectacular it is absolutely amazing

No? Read his comment then. And since google is you friend, its not rocket science. And Sukkel means fool, not dipshit.

Happy owner for a while now
Have to admit it's a bit too big for my tiny wrists :p
Still has a strong presence and is a remarkable watch in my opinion

It’s not too big at all on you. Looks perfect wearing it. I think a Sub would look small

Order gen springs from Sub007 or sacsha1.

Yeah I think they changed the bezel in the V2 again. I also have a V2 and compared to the new ones it looks like this:
