Hey Guys, here is a quick look of 3 sub straps.

One is a TC V3/V4 combo strap
One is a TC V5 strap
One is a Gen 93150 strap that I acquired before discovering this great repdom of ours!

These photos are taken from an iPhone only, I am not a photo enthusiast by any means nor have a dslr camera in my possession :smile:


Gen 93150 Left or Top, V3 in the middle, V5 on the right.










for this pic, the V5 is in the middle, V3 to the right..


If you look at the pics, the V5 has a different sheen, and the sheen is kind of closer to the gen, it is weird because in naked eyes, the V3 and the gen is more closer in terms of color/hue and sheen. Camera/lighting is playing tricks.. Now to be honest, it does not bother me now and the difference is so small you would hardly notice it at all when you put it in the watch. With that said, I would say these bracelets are like gen, and for the price, it is so worth it. The gen when you pick it up, is extra smooth feel and has that perfect brush, etc.. With that said, it still has that clunkiness and chatter of the hollow links.. For teh clasps, I still like the V4 over the V5.

I am by no means an expert, I am still learning and in fact I am thankful I stumbled upon the repdom, I have learned more in 3 months here than in 6 years on a gen forum.. You guys are authentic and are always ready to help each other out.. Lots of passionate guys in here. Respect.. :clap:

Wow, there really is a massive difference. Is it easy to spot when on the wrist?

Personally, every USED gen 93250/93150 I've handled has a different sheen, feel and look depending on how it's been handled, brushed over the past 10 years or so.

I think TC bracelets are good enough.

I got the gen off an AD here in NYC, don't ask me how much it cost lol I got a Sub 5513 wedding gift from my father and I wanted a new bracelet so that's why I bought that, a time when I didn't know about reps..
