But this is not a conclusive reason in. Everyone who can spot a open case will call you out because of the sound of the rotor :blink:

We're assuming they're not blind...but possibly deaf.

On a more serious note, it is nothing but a simple notation as to why it was rejected as a nwbig.

Reading all the old threads of the Pelagos, I understand why the V6F blue is preferred. But I couldn't understand why the ZF black is better than the V6F black. Can someone give me a quick answer? :)

Not all Rep rotors are noisy, not all Gen rotors are quiet.

Agreed.

I think they are both great but after my research I prefered the ZF one. Can't remember why, but if you have any reason to believe V6F is better or equivalent, just lemme know.

The new JF air king looks pretty good. Anyone handle in person yet?

I did some research for the Tag Heuer Carrera 1887. The rep is 17,4mm thick, the gen just 14mm. This is miles away to be a super rep with such a big difference...

There are different information about the gen size, from 14 to 16mm :blush:

Mate, you should have told me that you needed the pic for this threat.

I wouldn't give such a statement as you did. You did not support any technical spec issued by the OEM and it is totally unclear how the actual case size is specified. Furthermore I measured the size from crystal to crystal and I do not either know, if your posted value of 14mm takes the hight of the crystal dome into account. Having the unknowns in mind, I would not start questioning the super rep status of this particular model.

Cheers....

I did not ask for a image for this thread, but I thought in retrospect that it is well cared for here (had only forgotten to link you). I think your measurement is correct. Unfortunately, I can not find a review for the gen case.

Nevertheless I think that even 1.4mm is very critical in a 17,4mm height overall.

It's not, this have already been discussed here.

Nobody you'll ever find IRL knows the gen thickness. 3mm is a lot, yes. 1.4 isn't. You couldn't see it even with both watches in hand, take a ruler and see what 1.4mm is.

Plus nobody will ever be measuring your watch with the other one in hand to compare or knowing the gen thickness by heart.

I can't see it via my app, however has this been sticky'd yet? If it hasn't then it's a must. I would agree with 90% of the breitling and rolex reps on that list. Will also be an eye opener when i make a couple panerai purchases soon. Buying a house with 20% down and a baby otw at the moment so ya... will be available when i need [emoji23][emoji481]

We're all entitled to our own beliefs on size. But I'm okay with 1-2 mm.
