Question regarding my DeVille. Just wondering if anyone can tell me how close it is to a gen. I've had it over 8 years. Quartz movement with working chrono, decent lume.

Thanks.

Hey there buddy,

Well firstly its a quartz watch, so that is inaccurate.
The date wheel seems to be slightly off.
There should also be a co-axial/chornometer underneath deville.
There should be a shorter hour maker at 6:00
Crystal has a bevel at the edge that shouldnt be there
The top 2 chornos should have a border.
Hour and Minute hands are wrong

Hope that helps Thanks Seb

Thanks Seb. That helps. I bought this off ebay over 8 years ago and I thought it might be a rep at the time. When I could find pics of gens it looked really close. But then again I might have been looking at reps. LOL

I did not know about the border around the chronos. A jeweler replaced the battery for me and I told him I thought it might be a rep. He confirmed it but said the movement inside was really good. At least it keeps perfect time! LOL
