I am a guy that is here to learn from someone that could teach me while providing meaningful, constructive feedbacks.

I would have done the same to any newbie on topics that I am very well versed with.

It's all about helping each other, not being arrogant.
Yea well you should go by your own advice and stop throwing advice off the cliff, especially ones well versed members give you.

I'm done with you.

😂😂You should handle the gen, you'd go crazy.

It wobbles back and forth. Up and down.

What exactely do you think a gen watch feels like? Stiff as a rock?

I had both GEN Pepsi 126710BLRO and the CLEAN version and I can confirm that GEN Pepsi had zero play on the bezel, while the stock CLEAN version wobbled like it could fall off anytime.

I had both a gen 116710BLNR and a clean version of the Pepsi and I can confirm that GEN Batman clicked and moved side to side, while the stock CLEAN version wobbled as well.

So like everything with gen and reps, I suppose it is batch failures.


Edit:

Have a look here for example

Some say they have play, others say no. All gen owners.

I just received my C+ BLRO. I am very satisfied!
- good bezel action, no play
- good finish all around, especially the bezel, which can be lacking on some makers
- bezel outer edge, insert recess, insert gap, all looks very good to me
- insert color is great, even though the red is a little brownish for me.
- insert plating looks perfect, no line, no defect in texture even at 18 or 6
- CHS, i love it! Never had a CHS GMT before!
- bracelet feels overall high quality with fewer than usual sharp edges
- on wrist looks real high end, the case polished edges looks gen
- dial looks real good, maybe the hour markers are slightly less round than gen
- hands looks high end, better than all my previous reps
- crystal and cyclop looks good enough to me, even though I don't have high standards
-the screwdriver included is actually a good thing, it's the perfect size and now one cannot marr the finish when resizing the bracelet
- crown looks good
- the clasp is very good

Now what i don't like :
- crown screwdown feels really crunchy
- red color is really not gen like. But good enough for me!
- some sharp edges but it's to be expected in a rep
- crownguards are straight.
- prices of rep is really high these days, but bought from a TD (trusty) and while took a considerable time, it was shipped safely without customs so I am really happy with the service.

Endwords ate, if you are in the market for a BLRO I'd say go for the C+

Ps: shots are coming soon

Thx for reading this far folks!

so it seems that C+ GMT Pepsi could be a nice Pick, maybe i will also go for it.

Do the also do the 116710 (black GMT) in theese updated Version, anyone ordered already and able to show some pics?

I just asked my TD for 126710BLRO he told me better go for Clean.

C+ got Issues with Datewheel and Insert + general fitting Issues.

Insert is not the same then Clean

now i don’t know wich to buy🤷🏼‍♂️

In this Thread it seems that C+ is the better pick. Maybe i go for 116710 C+ or Clean any experience there?
