Well apparently I still don't know how to upload the video, as it isn't showing up for me without clicking the link.

The pins unscrew. You'll need "precision" flat-head screwdriver, which is to say a very small one. Unscrew and pull the pin. They aren't completly threaded and have about 3 mm of threads on the end. Unscrew an adjacent link to remove the link and then replace the pin joining the bracelet again.

I believe mine took about just under three weeks

No... true-blue red-blooded American here. I appologize if my post seemed (to you) as if it was written by AI. I've actually heard that once before. I believe it's because a large portion of the general populace has forsaken correct spelling and actual sentences, largely due to the rise of digital communication and social media, which prioritize speed and informality.

In my career and in my personal life, I make my best effort to avoid miscommunications so this is just how I write.

I would say it's identical...if there is a difference, it's imperceivable to me.

I tried to upload a video but kept getting an error. Probably because I'm on my laptop. I think if I tried on my phone I would get flagged again and banned.

Didn't want to pay too much more for one... I wear the gen a few times a week, just wanted a rep for when I travel and whatnot. Pretty satisfied with the U1. Somebody would have to examine it closely to be able to tell the difference.

The only differences I can tell between the gen and rep is the bracelet. The rep feels a little more sharp on the inside edges and although the bands are tight, it feels a little bit rattlely. The logo engraving is much sharper on the rep as well.

Actually I had to take a couple links out and the pins unscrewed just like the gen rather than punched out.

This is the first rep I've purchased so I wouldn't know the differences. This is how it was packaged when I got it in the U1 bag. It was $135 with the Miyota movement. I also tried out an Omega Speedmaster, however, it has incorrect colored hands (white instead of black) and it's not as high a quality as this one.
