One is not like the other....

Went gen today.

If wanted I could do a side by side comparison between the gen one and the VSF rep.

Could you tell us the most notable differences between the two watches, please?

I haven't done my side by side review yet. Maybe it will be delayed a bit since the gen PO didn't pass the pressure test at the AD today. But I'm in within warrantey, so I have to figure this out.

But the main takeaways are the following:

1. Color of the seamaster and 600m/2000ft on the dial is off. The gen is kind of more vibrant.
2. The markings on the bezel are different due to the gen using liquid metal. On the gen it's nearly flush where the rep is kind of milled out.
3. The bracelet of the rep is nice, the bracelet of the gen is a tank.
4. The SN engravings on the back of the gen a bit darker.
5. stem play when pulled out is worse on the rep

That should be the main points. 1 and 2 are noticeable, 1 only if one has a gen to compare or owned a gen imho. 2 seeable from the right angle.
3,4,5 are no biggies in my eyes.

More to follow as soon as I know what happens to my gen
