Never understood the design philosophy on this one...For some reason, thin no date watches with SS bracelet doesn't sit well with me. If you want to go full dress watch, put it on leather with no complications (and keep it thin). If you want to make it a sports model on stainless bracelet, atleast put a date complication (like the AP 15202). That's just me...I am sure others will differ.

Agree, this makes the same impression to me as the Rolex 114300 which I find too plain. A no date sub on the other hand is nice, but the ceramic bezel is what makes the difference

I agree. Just don’t get the excitement about such a plain boring watch! Each to their own I guess.

Big fan of VC and the overseas in general. This rep looks much closer to the gen than the BP 4500V but whilst the ultra thin aspect is very appealing a part of me thinks it loses some of the luster without a centre second hand sweeping round the dial. Wish they had this much effort put into the 4500v.

Gen comes in WHITE GOLD not SS. Hence your opinion is based on wrong assumptions.

Correction taken, it’s WG. You still don’t get the crux of my comment, a thin watch with no complications on a bracelet makes no sense to me. Neither a dress watch nor a sports model. That’s my opinion and I am sticking to it.

On another note - You have gone to every member’s posts are responded with “WG” or “no taste” comment. What are you trying to prove?

I think he was trying to pass across the same point I was a few posts above: if you don't like the model why are you even here wasting your time?

Obviously there is nothing to prove other than that you are a very interesting character shitposting and killing the vibe in a thread you shouldn't have come in the first place.

Dmage your watch looks great.

I'm really torn between this and the zf fiftysix (franken Datejust build in progress means I can only get one). I was leaning to the fiftysix as I have a JJF overseas already but now I'm not so sure....
