The dials can only get better. Doing worse, literally is impossible.

Can you please elaborate that. From your words seems that the dials are really badly done..

Let me elaborate on this.
Most dials that are in here are fantasy.

Look at the colour of the purple one for example..

Here's a gen for reference:

I understand what you are saying. Doubt that the purple and the blue one will have that electric color under real light (would be a complete miss in case they would). Let’s see some further photos/videos before we say the final verdict (I have the fully iced out PP Nautilus from the R8 factory and they did a good job there)

Show me that Patek. We don’t really have to wait, I can already tell that the dials aren’t anywhere close.

You’ll have to wait for a couple of days since the watch (PP) is not currently with me.

As for the AP the color was the 1st thing that I noticed, still did not go into details about the dial and what else is wrong with it. Looks like you’re looking for perfection in replica watches, I still can live with the flaws especially on these models that are rare in the gen world. Furthermore, I’d still appreciate, since it seems that you’ve analyzed more into details the gen/rep, that you actually point out the differences. Is it the print on the dial? The sunburst pattern? The hour markers?
I am using my iPhone at the moment and it’s not easy to comapare gen vs rep for me (I am not at home, not having the laptop...and as said already not having the PP as well)

some sites have it as 9.0mm but the one he is reffering is https://www.audemarspiguet.com/en/watch-collection/royal-oak/26510ST.OO.1220ST.01/
(i'm guessing) shows 8.85

they just keep getting thinner.. Rep makers need to step up their game =D

I was referring to Hodinkee:

If it's 9mm, I stand corrected.

Agreed on others' comments that we should wait for factory specs and a release first..

gen has both 8.95mm (white gold) and 9mm thickness (steel and pink gold) https://www.audemarspiguet.com/en/watch-collection/royal-oak/26520BC.GG.1224BC.01/ and https://www.audemarspiguet.com/en/watch-collection/royal-oak/26522OR.OO.1220OR.01/

Wow!

I’m loving the psychedelic purple!

3mm thicker than gen is the equivalent of a stack of 1 nickel and 1 penny (5 cent and 1 cent coins). Not too bad, but in watch terms, might as well be a yard!

Good attempt. Never heard of R8 factory though. Been waiting for a good tourbillon to buy. Wonder how this compares to TF one which is consideres very good already.

I am in love with the Barney but how does the 41mm wear compared to the 42mm? is it noticibly smaller? I know its only a mm difference but i gather the thiness is what makes it feel smaller
hopefully it comes out soon
