Looks fantastic, is the dial that dark in light too? I love the darker tone of the blue you see, but often I see the AP blue is almost electric which I'm not fond of. Looks great!

It's only like that in the shadows.

Inside the house under normal daylight it is quite matte and in bright lights/sunlight it is brightish with a sunburst effect.

This. The colour shift on this dial is really nice. On the shadows it can look almost black and bright blue in the sunshine. I happen to prefer the darkish tone at sunset or in the evening. :)

A bit OT but:
What's the value of a GEN black dial + GEN black DW for the 15400?

How much can I sell these items for?

Gen white/silver costs £750 on ebay, from a reputable seller so I imagine it's close to that + date wheel is probably between £100-300 depending on rarity, I've not seen any date wheels to be honest with you.

Datewheels will not fit in a miyota movement. You’ll need a Mikey datewheel for miyota movements if you want a closer to gen look. Those pop up occasionally on M2M, however rare.

It may be a prodigious waste, but gen DWs can be used as DWOs in a miyota movement. I have done this before, a project for the crazy owner.

If I am not mistaken.

Gen date wheel on Miyota will rotate in the wrong direction, Higher to lower numbers. no?
Gen cal is clock wise rotating date wheel
miyota is anti clock wise rotating date wheel

What do you think? Buy what color you like buddy. Not what me or someone else think.

Thank's but i don't wait your choice, all dial it's different darling. I know blue and black it's good but i don't know if grey and white it's good too.

At the end of the day whichever dial colour you get, the watch will be a rep. So buy what you like and if you want more detailed knowledge on the genuine vs replica matter, every dial has been discussed on here. Do the research.

Since tompa n quetip had offered the Most rational thinking n if if you ain’t convinced, u can consider this antidote:
Buy all colors then seeing them in real life, sell those you are out of love with it in m2m.
Sincerely hope this can allay your “anxieties”

Actually this does work well for anyone who likes to ask about which color is “closest to gen”. They get to decide first hand for themselves.
Gen is gen and rep is rep and ownership and enjoyment of both are simply very different. Not better or worse, but merely different.
