Straight wont fit on the gen, they are too curved and the lug holes are not meant for straight pins. The sales rep held business card up to where the lug holes are to confirm, a straight bar would hit the case. If even by a mm the thickness of the leather would not fit for sure. Take a close look and you will see

Well.. I learned something new. But, the rep looks to have curved spring bars.. these are definitely curved.

Damn, these Premier reps are stunning!
I'm really thinking of pulling the trigger on the grey version...
Just need to figure out if because if it's thickness (15mm), the watch would look silly on my smaller wrist (17.1cm).

Only one way to find out!

Thank you sir for that picture! That makes me feel better as they appear to be slightly curved, not to the degree of the gen, but close enough. Now the problem is deciding between the grey or green. Thanks again

Lol, I know you mean you will order it to see if it fits on your wrist. But remember the good old days when you could go to a store and just try watches on. I miss pre-corona watch shopping!

For those still on the fence because of the sunken date the Gen’s date is also a bit sunken but the dial seems thicker so it compensates. Wonder if the can make the dials a bit thicker. Also, I have found a bunch of gen pics with misaligned date wheels too.

I was certain I wanted the grey, but the more I see the green the more unsure, oh well the car insurance came in this month, so I've got another month to decide lol

the only thing putting me off the green is the Bentley plaque on the side, I don't really like it
