link is not working for me, who is Andy?

Is the gen quartz as well?

Andy is Andrew of TrustyTime, not a trusted dealer on this forum but is on others.

Gen is quartz it seems, as F1 is the entry level TAG.

I like the gen myself, but on the rep the lettering/numbering and spacing on the bezel is off, the "sticks" on the bezel look silver instead of black and also the red inserts on the "sticks" look a little shoddy. Plus, the hands look different than on the gen.

I wish it was better, but as per the qc picture I can't see ordering it.

also timeshop has similar models but in the wrong case size, 45mm instead of 42mm.

i really wish they would come up with the ultimate

The gen looks great on TB's pics, but I wonder if the rep has that good AR which will make the difference, and also if the quartz movement is correct (subdials)

Nice looking watch, the rep looks well, interesting, but off! On a side note, what the fug is it about datewheels that makes the factories always get them wrong on budget reps, it's almost a prerequisite for them to use the opposite of what is required to make it look right!

 

[rbel13]

this way they can simply swap the date wheel, replace the bezel and call it an ultimate version while charging us double. i have not been in the rep game for a long time but i am beginning to notice a pattern.

Yea, how the hell do they miss something as obvious as the date wheel color. The hands are also the wrong color. Black on the rep, chrome on the gen.....

That rep is crap.... looks all wrong, and it will indeed just be a excuse to come with a V2 and overprice.

Seen the GEN in the AD some weeks ago, and it´s stunning! Loved that

Cheers,
Spirit.
