$8,888?!?!?! Is this an actual F-ING JOKE?!?!?! I could almost buy a brand new GEN FOR THAT PRICE!!!! Joma has one listed now, and Trusty wants almost that much for a rep?!?!? HAS THE WORLD GONE MAD?!?!?! NO F-ING WONDER TRUSTYTIME ISN'T A TD HERE!!!!

The world hasn't gone mad. Some members just don't read enough even after 6 months in the forum. :lol: It's usually just after getting the rep from the factories but the factories have not priced the rep yet (which will definitely affect the asking price from the dealers). Also this practice isn't unique to Trustytime. Puretime also does it from time to time.

is it just me or the yellow markers on the dial look a bit too yellow too intense compared to gen?

Are these actually 2 mm different in thickness? How can this be a rep in this day and age?

Maybe less than 2mm, maybe more. This is a rep because it attempts to copy the gen, that has always been the definition of a rep. Now there will be varying degrees of success, but a bad rep is still a rep.

I’d hazard a guess that the gen is around 16.5 like the other 1950 case watches from the same period. I doubt they would have made it slimmer? But I could be wrong, can’t find enough information on the gen
