Bucherer called me just now. They have one waiting for me. After about 1 year on the waiting list, I am going to get my hands on this baby. In the meantime I purchased a rep of this to hold me over, so I know exactly how it will feel.

So excited!

Wow pulling the trigger on the gen with that wait time congrats! You are patient!

Love this watch and am so intrigued by this piece.

It's a super rep but would love to see some comparison pics/review once you have the gen.

Beautiful gen congrats! Thanks for positing rep vs gen pics. It’s kinda hard to compare with the patina heavy rep and the fresh gen but I get the gist of it.

I assume that’s the XF rep version since the blues match? The rep holds its own until you compare the dial. That dial print is beautiful on the gen, it has a slight shimmer to it under light and it’s perfectly raised. On the rep, I’m a little disappointed since I thought the original pics when it came out showed it had raised dial print? Anyone know it this changed? Seems pretty flat and lifeless here. Also, is that glue I can see peaking out from the sides of the bezel insert?

Nice choice on the gen, you’re a more patient person than I am haha. Waiting a whole year would be hard...
