Where I need to be.
Mate, I couldn’t be more flattered and pleased with your comments!

I absolutely admire not only your comments, your actions as a modder but also you stunning collection.

Trying to follow your footsteps, and searching for my first gen AP.

I think you will carry off any watch you choose very well. It takes class and confidence and poise and looking at your wristshots you obviously have what it takes.

You may wish to confirm the authenticity of that tachy again.
Check the "R" at the end of the "TACHYMETER" word. This is what it looks like for my gen. I am fairly certain that the tachymeter is rep. QueTip

Very right, the tachy appears to be rep. Print seems off compared to how it should be too.

Looking at your watch, the central chrono hand, and 3x subdial hands appear to be rep too.
If you can send a photo of the dial straight on, I will be able to see the hour and minute hands and tell if they are gen.
But tachymeter is definitely rep, as well as the 4 chrono and subdial hands.

Well that's not ideal...

Thank you kindly. From this pic of yours

Tachymeter = rep. Compare the “R”, the numbers, the print.
Chrono and subdial hands = rep. Compare the center pinion holes.
Hour and min hands = gen but condition looks to be rather bad. It can benefit from a polish/refinish.
Bezel and bezel screws are rep but no major concern there. Looks the same as gen.
Don’t take my word for it. Compare my tachymeter and yours and also the center of the chrono and subdial hands. You’ll see the differences.

May I know where you bought this watch? I hope you didn’t pay too much for it.
