I received the Gen PO 22mm strap I bought on the Bay today and before I install it on my FrUPO I wanted to show a comparison to the one I had on it from Reg. The most obvious difference was the writing. Although the Narika strap is very passable as reps go, the gen's engraving is less pronounced and more crisp than the rep's. The rep strap is a bit longer than the gen. The cut outs for the tang are pretty much the same shape and size.
After installing the gen strap I noticed the shape of the ends are much more ergonomic than the rep. The bend makes it very comfortable to wear. Lastly, the materials finish is very different from the rep. The gen feels smooth and sturdier than the rep. I know this has been covered but this is my two cents.
P.S. The buckle and the "Omega" loupe are rep the gen strap came without them. It did come with one loupe and it is much more stiff than the rep as well as the rest of the strap. The last pic is my almost finished Frupo. I will post better pics and a good description once I'm finished but I'm lovin it so far.
