Just recently received my very first rep from pychospike. Awesome guy to deal with and will buy from again.

Since I have the gen version I've taken some quick cell pics for you guys to see. To me it is pretty close other then a few minor details unless ur anal.

I'm surprised that the clarity of the crystals between the two. I thought the gen would be significantly clearer, and both look about the same.

Dam you RGBaller, your post pushed me over the edge. Just emailed Ken for one of these.

That will make it a very expensive weekend with Ken, 44mm Panda on Friday and the FC today!

Hi, my name is Chris and I am a Repaholic.
It has been 5 minutes since I bought my last rep

:facepalm:

You will not regret it.


As far as the Xtal is concerned. It's good for you buyers to go seena gen. It will give you a perspective of what it looks like in person. We are in the midst of an onslaught of misinformation by nit pickers of what we should be expecting from reps.

Yes in first pics gen is on the right.

Guys, IMHO this is pretty close to the gen. Very hard to tell unless u have a gen so not many will be able to tell the difference. It's a good buy for sure. No need to nitpick the small differences as this is a rep after all.

great rep, my fav.
I am going to replace the FC dial with the DLC dial from noob and lume job next week, then it is even better.
The crystal on the gen looks a little clearer. Can you take a shot to show the sunken screws from the side of the gen?

Here is mine with crystal mod

In the flesh, the FC pattern looks as deep, with the correct gloss/ matt ratio and pattern as the gen FC Diver (I haven't held the 44mm gen). This rep is amazing and surprisingly it doesn't look too big on the wrist either, add an AR Xtal or single AR Xtal and you're good to go
