As you can see, some of the flaws that the earlier version suffered with have been rectified, namely in the longer second hand and date window being better centered between the 4 and 5 hour markers. They have also fixed the glaring mistake with the clasp which is now more gen like:
there are still some minor flaws with this watch such as the black filled engraving on the side of the watch body where the word Heuer is not as fine as on the gen.
This rep utilizes the identical quartz engine as the gen, an ETA G10.711, which only enhances the value of this model.
Overall I would give this a 9.5 out of 10 and rate it as a super rep.
Didn't even spot my deliberate mistake - date window between 3 and 4 not 4 and 5.
Checking out the Formula 1 review, there are some great photo's of the older model on page 3 which will show the differences between old and newer model.
I got this watch from Watch International and it was Rochest who actually recommended the newer model. It was a little more expensive, but worth it
