Maybe because the gen has a tall crystal in the first place. Look at this picture of the gen.... Crystal looks like how it is on the rep.

Kinda off topic
But VSF manage to change this watch from SS to Ti for an increased cost of around £10 if i'm not mistaken.
So WTF goes on at factories like Noob or GMF or ARF when a 316 Sub (2836) upgrades to a 904 (2836) for an increase for over £100?
For me, these increases have actually kept me away from picking up a few that i would quite like to have.
Hats off to VSF for not going down this road with their watches, which seem to stay at the same price point regardless of changes and upgrades.

Thanks Cloney. Hodinkee reviewed the gen at 13.15mm so 0.45mm across a 42mm watch is pretty damn close.

TOTALLY OT;
if they can pull a perfect V3, can we ask VSF to do the New Edition Ploprof made out of titanium, both case and bracelet?

Actually when they first released the watch in stainless steel, it was 428. Then they released the titanium case and the price still remained at 428. The only time they increased the price so far was for the updated clasp on the steel mesh bracelet, aka V3, price went up to 448. And it has stayed at that price for now. I can see the price going up again though once they have the titanium mesh for it.

Really?! Half of a millimeter? Lol
Even the nato increases the height n effective thickness of the watch by 1.5mm at least....go figure

I will absolutely buy a proplof rep. I don’t understand why they discontinued
You'd be surprise but yes depending on how fitted you wear stuff
So mine was ordered when v2 didn’t exist. Then while waiting for qc the v3 arrived with the new mesh. Sead kindly upgraded my order to the new bracelet without charging me the extra but the watch is the v2. So I’m assuming he can get the bracelet.

Hi all,
I have read the ENTIRE THREAD today, as I am intending to purchase this Rep.
Some people are discussing v3 like it contains bezel and case enhancements (I really thought this correct, noting for example the revised font size and reduced space between bezel numbers and edge of bezel)
However, I asked Andrew at TT whether there is a V3, as I am not sure, and he says there is not, it is the V2 with the 1:1 ss bracelet.
Now that I look at the V2s on TT they do look like they contain the updates people are referring to as V3 on here.
What's going on guys? I think I can order a V2 from TT and it's the current best version plus best bracelet. But I note for example I think Intime has a "V3" but it's probably v2 plus the updated ss bracelet.
Thoughts?
