imranbecks the thin “lines” are rounded and not flat like the rest of the bacelet. You might hate me for pointing it out as after i noticed it, i cant unsee it. The gen’s are flat like the rest of the bracelet’s. In most pictures you cant see. For some it might not be an issue, but I can live with my bezel insert being slightly misalligned inside the bezel, but those lines are killing me. For that reason I have mine on a nato now

Correct plus the polished bracelet sections are a bit too thick and boxy.

That's fine and that's a KS QC, it's just 1 click off. KS qc's are perfect, honestly don't worry,

Wow really? I never noticed that. I have trouble spotting the current VSF rep SMP's. If someone showed me his rep now and said it's a gen, I would probably believe him. Even now you mention this, I still don't see it.. Lol
imranbecks to me its super obvious and makes me feel self conscious about the watch To me it very noticeable.....

Is one of the above a gen?
Looks like the same watch. Just showing the flat polished part on the bracelet and the rounded polished section on the end link.
I think the gen has flatter polished sections on the end link than the rep (these sections are raised/curved/like a road with camber) although on the gen they are still slightly raised from the brushed sections but are shaped flat
Anyway it’s good to have a discreet tell on a rep .....or of course you can stick it on the rubber or a gen nato and it’s perfect!

Oh wow. I can't unsee that now. And now I know how to tell a rep apart from the gen. It is indeed very hard to spot....
imranbecks hehe sorry for making you aware of it. Yes on the wrist its not noticeable, only in pictures. So for that reason I advised the other member bot to defile his gen with the rep bracelet. That would be a sin in my opinion

Thanks for pointing out - hard to notice. I'd guess that letting a watchsmith flatten those bevelled parts shouldn't be too expensive...

Hahah that logic confuses me...
"on wrist not noticeable"
Therefore, no problem
surely? It's on the wrist that counts, not photographs in my opinion. Photos look great, and it's an interesting flaw so thanks for pointing it out, but I dont think it really matters in the scheme of things.
