in terms of look and feel i'd say its very close to the gen one. i'd go so far as to say that the gen links would interlink with rep ones. the only flaw with the bracelet is the clasp has 2 small holes on either side of the clasp whilst the gen does not.

The rep bracelet is quite good with the above problem on the clasp but the end links are not as crisp as the gen nor does the whole bracelet feel qiute as smooth. That said, the rep is pretty good and a hell of a lot less money than the gen. I bought a 2nd hand gen off Ebay last year and it cost $700 but was mint condition. Still waiting for my 3717 to return from Vac after 4 months so not seen the bracelet fitted yet!
