Feels great!

Good to hear. With a 7 inch wrist, I’ve shifted down from (max) 44 to around the 40 mark over the last few years.

But 36 would be a new low — or high — depending on perspective ???? Cheers!

This watch looks very good in blue too. After eating too much pizza I have fat boy wrists. Despite this I wear watches anywhere from 34mm to 47.5mm, just whatever. I don't think either end of the spectrum looks to big or too small. 36 is a good and classic size, should be fine on most people.

Recently got the Rep Black Bay 36mm, I have the Gen, and its one of my fav's so thought I would check the rep out, and I'm very surprised. so surprised I might sell the gen.

the watches look identical and feel very similar in hand, the gen bracelet is far smoother but I plan to give the rep one a ultrasound bath and cape cod it.

the only tell is the flatter print, which is the same for all reps, but saying that, in the light, it has the same silver print as gen, which is a lovely touch.

Think this should be added to the Superclones thread, let me know what you guys think

Notes about pics, my gen has been polished badly by the last owner, and the shiny bezel on the lugs has lost its sheen. and the rep has some muck around the crystal, which I have removed after seeing on pics

Are you guys regular wearers of smaller — 36mm — pieces? Or have you shifted down from ~40 for this? If so, how does it feel? ????

I started with 42 Seiko divers, then moved on 40mm subs, and to 39mm vintage divers. Now 42 mm is only ok in summer with a t-shirt... looks cumbersome otherwise... And for non divers I now find 36mm to be just perfect. I also have a 34mm Tudor oysterdate that I like to wear.

To Cape Cod it = Cockney rhyming slang for sod it
An ultra sound bath = when you take your watch for a swim amongst whales.

English Gent correct me if I'm wrong :)

I am so so so close to pulling the trigger on this, but need to manage my funds carefully. Might have to pick one from the watchbox and sell it before pulling the trigger. They recently updated the movement to same as gen, which is only 1 click position in the crown. Previously it had 2 because the first click is to adjust the date, now they removed the first click totally and its really gen like now
