Just thought I’d share with you all my daily beater but also the jewell in my crown.

Those of you who are members on RWI are probably bored of seeing this as I spammed the forum with pictures of it for almost a year now.

Below is a build list including costs, all parts were brand new in packaging.

BP 16600 A2813 £129
Swiss ETA2836 movement £150
TC Dial and hand set £77
TC DWO 4 £27
TC 93250 Bracelet £58
Gen bezel with Insert £445
Gen Crystal £244
Gen 704 crown £120
WSO tube £18
Build work £180

Total £1,417

OTB it’s a very good looking Rep.

Dial and Hands are really on par with TC.
Insert is very good too.

Looks really nice, but dang that's a big investment for a rep, I'm guessing it's as good as gets compared to the gen

It’s close but there is definitely better.

@Thrasher has a similar build but has a Yuki 3135 in it with a genuine dial and genuine hands.
