@ SMIDSY
What's your thoughts on the BR02 reps? Are they close to gen? Is there a "super rep" for that model as well? Who would sell the best BR02 rep?

Thanks in advance.

It was.... however the need for documentation is now paramount!

Yours I still think is a gen :)

The rep you posted looks good. On the gen I have the back case screw is under the the U in unscrew. The font on the front Bell & Ross is too bold on the &. The date font is wrong. Also the edge of the numerals are rough. The big tell is still the screw on the back without actually holding one. My 2 cents.

the gen had 2 different screw types and the position changed between V1 and V2 of the gen..... therefore I'm afraid not the best tell.....

datefont is wrong and the font on B&R is a small tell.....

also 1 post mate...? you registered just to post that LOL?

Most outdated copies of the BR 03-92 have the Swiss Made in the wrong position. On the Gen the last S is before the 31 minute mark, also the M starts slightly before the 29. On my rep the last S ends with minute 31 and starts at 29. Easy way to ID the rep IMO...

Only on the outdated ones though - also B&R made it with the swiss made in the other positions too :whistle:
