How did you fix the SEL issue? On a side note does anyone know what year made gen the V7 is meant to replicate? I noticed on this side by side the gen had the smaller f
V7 case is replicating a 2010-2015 sub.the dial and clasp is a replication of 2016-17 sub

OP, great post. +1 to your post rating.

@smoke, unpolished scallops that OP mentions on the bezel, I thought some versions of gens had that too. What is your opinion?

You can give your watch to an AD...however, it's unlikely you'll get it back :)

In the country where I reside, which is Dubai, it's illegal to sell replica watches, but it's not illegal to wear them lol, I'd sue them for taking my shit and with all the money I'd win I'll buy 10 authentic's, LOOL

Well zockker had a gen bezel assembly that had teeth like the noob once.but I'm not 100 percent convinced it was gen.but it's possible I guess perhaps rolex made a couplease of messed up bezel assembly.because I once saw a pic of a gen in 2015 that had what looked like a noob bezel.but that's only 2 examples.and I've never seen this ever since on a gen

I still have the v6s but i've done some mods on the case. I've shaved the lugs make them even.

I have also seen a gmt2 that had duller scallops very similar to noob.

Awesome post. I owned a gen that I bought from a watch forum. Now i'm worried that it's not gen!!! So scary.

I think a big difference between the v7 and the gen is, that the rep is much more sharp on the edges.
Bracelet, clasp etc is more sharp as gen I think.

What do you guys mean?
Can we fix that?

I think the biggest difference between the V7 and the Gen is the price, ha #genius, I know lol! These type of reps are 90% close to Gen for 10% of the price.

If we bring the right attitude to the game and developed a taste for this hobby, it’s a no brainer.

Great review! Thanks @andrei01 !!!
I am another V7 user who appreciates reading about this and other pieces every other day.

the gen in the op's comparison suffers from the dreaded low mag cyclops issue.

I think should forget about this thread. The watch was actually a v6s sold to me as a V7 .The bracelet was v7 though... strange. But the case wasn't even that good. That particular case was among the worse i've ever seen.

I've learned a lot since writing this thread. The newew v7 s are way much better !
