Is this the first time that rubber strap is getting replicated? Don’t feel like I’ve seen it before

Jeez this is beautiful. I'd still take the steel bracelet variation any day of the week!

My TD said it's available, not yet posted on any TD websites but it's ready to ship.... waiting for user reviews and QC pictures first before judgement though

I will be getting this. Duckber , which TD did you mention it to? I've already emailed Ryan, Andrew and YourWatch.

Hmm looks like 14mm minimum. It actually looks pretty good, i think the subdials look a tad small but it could just be my eyes playing tricks

Gen thickness is 13.7mm so 14 would be a result!

It looks pretty good to be fair. To me the best part of the gen is that dial, looks like no other watch dial ive ever seen when you see it in person. Even if its 15 or so mm thick i might have to get one and ditch all the useless crap in the back (rotor, autowind etc) and slim it down as close to gen as i can. Very much looking forward to seeing some pics of whoever pulls the trigger first.

The blue definitely doesnt look as dynamic as the gen. also the thickness is over 15mm but if you dont mind manual winding it should be easy enough to make it gen thickness

I have an 8F Deep stream, quality is pretty bad (wrong dial shade, flimsy clasp, poor rubber) compared to the JJF models. I hope this 5500V is much better

Did anybody get the watch yet? I was wondering if it is a good base watch to install a gen dial.

I would love to see this done!
