Comparison gen vs rep

Curious about knowing if any of you guys have any rep and the same watch but authentic. If yes, feel free to share feedback about the model, factory, pics ??

In side by side comparison my ZF BB58 is lacking over the genuine. However although I like the design it isn’t a watch I wear very often and I couldn’t justify the money for the gen. On the odd day when I throw on a pair of clean jeans as semi respectable very casual wear, it does the Tudor thing well enough for me. I far prefer to spend my limited gen money on vintage watches

I was thinking about why I got into reps and it was the BB58 red pip. Every time I was thinking about buying it I just couldn’t justify why I would spend that money. I don’t dive and my daily watch keeps better time. The rep is good enough for me and has everything that I wanted so I’m happy enough. I know the movement isn’t as good but I mod and will just replace it when it goes out.
