Is anything worth buying in gen?

(But the day will come, I'm sure it will...)

So much has progressed in the rep world since this thread started . So many more watches can be determined as NWBIG I am waiting for delivery my 3 K PP aquanaut and thinking already . The Aquanaut is now so NWBIG

And the Tudor Pelagos ZF. Have both gen and rep, very very close . . .

IMHO none of the rep straps are good enough . I always put a high quality strap on a good rep.

I am looking into IWC ATM. I have a ZF LPP which is excellent but not quite up to the quality where I would actually say there is no benefit in buying the Gen, although it is close and a great watch.

It would be great on this thread to hear from people who have made direct comparisons of various reps with the relevant Gen and hear their opinions.

Do you buy gen straps? If not, where do you get the straps?

Most important thing with a strap is that it is made with quality materials and well put together. There are many great suppliers. Rep straps tend to be of very poor quality.

Gen makers tend not to make their own straps
