lol, yes I forgot to say its the left, some of the pics look like the watch on the left is bigger as well, but its just a mini difference in closer to the camera

winding etc is usual for a rep, no where as smooth as my gen, but thats to be expected, I sold my gen today! one day after getting this, after I oiled the bracelet it felt just as weighty and solid. great rep

PS there is no time setting...

English Gent just want to confirm, are you saying the rep does not have the date setting in the same way the gen does? Or are you saying that only the gen does not have the date setting crown position and they are different in this regard? Great comparison!

Thanks!

I am rejecting this qc but need advise

https://imgur.com/a/mpUZTwU

the 6 marker is not centered and my dealer isnt willing to change it saying its too small of a defect. He says to either take refund or buy new dial and they install it.

he says factory wont accept for small issue like this. If so why do we do a qc ?

i am very new to this so pls advise what I can do ?

I just received my first rep. Really happy with my purchase.

Everything was good, however I notice the hands and marker indices have different color. I am not sure if the gen also has those differences. Other than that, it's perfect.

Thinking of getting this rep. Having a hard time deciding between the 36 or 41mm. Anyone know why there is about a $50 price difference (36mm is more expensive)? They have the same movements. Thank you!

The rep hands are sitting too far off the dial. Needs the Miyota movement, then possibly super rep.

Wow nice rep! A little expensive though.
Let’s hope for a V2 without the slight lume mismatch.

I just saw the gen at the AD, very nice piece overall.

Different factories and quality.

The flaw that I cant overlook is the fact that they made the stem too long or the crown tube too short. The stainless steel part is showing out even when fully screwed in. My wifes gen doesnt have this flaw.

Next to the flatter print bothers me that the second hand seems to be a bit longer. Since I saw it for the first time, I can not look away anymore, but I'm nitpicking...! Waiting for v2.
