Qc from marv . Just fyi. Looks like springbar maybe not click, quick or screw. And still can’t tell if hands gold or not 😉😉😉.
Based on the second and last pictures, I am very positive that the hands are gold.

IMO, if you benchmark the watch against what it is (a great looking, dressy, small diameter and slimmer PAM with a certain degree of fantasy character) instead of what tries to be - its indeed quite nice.

Well the very last pic is of my gen, so I do hope so 🥴🥴. As long as it stops my wife from keeping stealing it, I consider the rep a good investment 👍

Mrs Ah0rsey watch here. Hands definitely gold. Actually nice piece and really doesn’t offend even though a bit different from gen.. the dial is really well done


Looks good! How do the strap compare to GEN?

looks good on you. better on the tan strap, more the 904 look !!!
REP strap is PVC over cardboard and too black vs GEN matte black. From a distance it looks ok but not up close and personal.

Imho both watches look great. Both dial, case finish, gold plating is very good. At this price point both watches are an amazing deal.

I agree, tan strap makes it look like the 904. I might order a custom-made strap for the Gold Due. Its on a blue strap in the meantime.

This one is on my shortlist, and in preparation, I picked up a nice OEM ASSO strap, its the newer style with the quick-release system, and I am not 100% sure whether it will be compatible with this model. Does anyone know?



I may end up selling the strap-on again if it is not.

Looks great! How do you feel about the thickness? As discussed before it's thicker than gen but slimmer than the larger PAMs so wondering your thoughts.
I own 3 Dues and it’s not an issue. All are excellent dress watches. Dues are not perfect but beautiful watches nonetheless.

honestly unless you've actually had the gen 10mm thickness Due on your wrist, then the rep 42mm Dues will feel absolutely fine. the way the rep case sits means that the thickness underneath sort of disappears into your wrist. But the thickness of the rep Due is also in the bezel which is more an obvious tell ( as well as the writing on the crown guard ) so that bezel does appear a little larger but that doesn't impact the fit one bit. From straight on looking at it though, it's a really good rep and priced very well for such a nice dial ( 1250 dial is better than the 904 IMHO ).
