Hi guys! Just received QC photos on my first order.
Not sure about crown tube length and red triangle on the bezel being lined up. What do you think?
Thanks

To me the crown tube looks way too long... have seen many better ones lately

I guess this incredible rep is at least in the top 5 of most popular ones in 2019. So far, I haven‘t seen a detailed rep vs. gen comparison.
Is anybody who own‘s both the rep and the gen willing to do some makro shots of both?

Looks good to me. Was there something you were concerned about?

It looks good to me, and FAR better than many of the QCs I've seen.

Great watches! At first glance I thought it might be a gen vs rep comparison, which I’d be very interested in!

It’s a REP BB vs GEN 58

The crown tube looks good....where did you source it? This is what has held me back from buying one!

Is there any mod for reducing the long crown tube?

Theoretically all that would need to done is to remove the crown and stem and take a hand file to the tube. Simple as that may sound, you could then run into an issue with the thread interface b/w crown and tube. Haven’t seen any up close, so I’m not sure if there is some room between the tube edge and threads or if there is range of sizes b/w tubes/some aren’t being fully threaded into the case.

Unless someone’s feeling adventurous or making a movement swap, I don’t foresee any attempt at shortening for a little while.
