Tops! Very rational, precise and some great pics to boot. I'm contemplating buying a gen 112 but when I read something like this I question the cost -vs- benefit.
i have the gen and had the rep.
gen:
+ u know that it's gen and u wear it with pride.
+ much better quality and QC.
+ no blue tint on the crystal distracting you, the gens have straw coloured tint that is not obvious.
+ better CG construction, looks better, feels better, functions a whole lot better.
+ much better crown, nt just looks, functionally the gen crown feels so much better!
+ movement is awesome, starts beating on the first wind of the crown, amazing.
- expensive
- u can't mod it urself!
- servicing will cost more than servicing a rep.
other pts to note:
. they both have the same "feel", ie. high quality product made w the best materials. tho the gen feels better, similar to holding a solid piece of rock vs an item comprising of smaller parts.
. there's something abt the dsn that makes me wanna do crazy things with it, like skating w it, use it as a knucklebuster, etc. it's built like a tank for a fraction of the price of the gen.
i'd say that there's nothing like a gen if ur heart can justify it's price even tho ur head can't. the dsn makes a really good beater-replacemet for the gen article.
