Of course many Gens are worth buying

The point being made is not that Gens are not worth buying . It is that there are many Gens which in construction, materials and function are so basic , simple and generic That rep makers are able to make them so well that it really isn't worthwhile buying the Gen of that particular watch

I agree, unless equipped with a complication or deep dive resistance, most tool watches may not be worth the extra money.

Wondering what people's thoughts are on the IWC 5454 from ZF being a contender? From everything I've seen it looks great including the movement which on the gen is apparently an unmodified 6498 handwound..

Looks great to me . Be nice to hear the views of some serious IWC enthusiasts.

List is above. I am in a great mood this morning, would you like me to go through the list and choose a watch for you, obviously you are very busy :)

I would love to know what you have and/or would suggest from the list, please include direct links of gen Vs rep comparisons too with HD quality pictures.

Joking aside...thank you! Any other day i guess i would have been on the receiving end of some mild internet abuse

Idk I'd be concerned about how the bronze will patina over time. The metal is different in the gen vs rep so I doubt they will stay looking the same as they age.

What do you think of the black bay bronze v2 from zf?

itching to pull the trigger on this one.....

With the exception of the rep's flat vs. embossed dial lettering and logo on the gen, this is as good as it gets. A true super rep contender.

Well, that's the whole point of bronze - with the vagaries of patination, no two bronze watches, gen or rep, will look exactly the same over time.

If someone has experience of it and thinks it should be on the list let's hear. Looks good to me but I haven't seen it in the metal.

I got one in transit. From the pics i got compared to gen, and from another post supposedly having members pick which is gen or rep (both were rep but had a lot second guessing) I would think the rep is spot on. Not to mention it's no longer produced by noob.

I will post some pics when it arrives.
