I went to the Pudemars Aiget Boutique last week and checked out the GEN.
The feeling of the REP is like the "Swiss mede" GEN. I was amazed how they managed it to place the screws asymmetrical!

This REP is the real Deal!!!!

Let me tell u this. The Triangle is not aligned at 12. It shifted to the left. Uncrew the inner ring crown and realign it. This is happend to all the JF and some XF.

Hey guys
What do you think of this QC? I already rejected one from Puretime and this is the second. The markers up to 25 seem fine, then from 30 they seem slightly unaligned. I'm okay with basically everything else I think. I have to approve today...
Thanks!

Bezel screws looks realy weird :)

Those are easy fix. The main thing is the inner ring is not setup right (i called it jumper click problem, legend might escalate it better than me). That why it very hard to get perfect alignment. Try it on your u will understand what i mean. I just got the v9.5. But i will list it on sale section today. It did not meet my expectations yet. I will wait for new update. But the dial is really good. If the font thicker little bit, U dont need gen. (Better than noob 3.5 and H fac).

I've been warned in Pudemars Aiget boutique that diving with this watch was risky (if you're not a professional diver) due to the 3 X 20 indices.

For the bezel screw they just got thigten correctly for ensure waterproofing while risking your life when you're diving.

That's weird. Normally swiss mede watches are good divers.
At least they explain, why they have this beautiful way of placing the bezel screws. Other brands would keep it a secret and aligned, so they don't have to put in the extra effort to go the last mile.

Do you mean the dive bezel rotator mechanism? Yes you’re right about the free play which many of the reps have, such that when screwed down the alignment of the markers moves a little either way.
This can be improved though through some modding to the mechanism.

42mm? That has got to be a joke. It's bigger than my 45.5mm Omega Planet Ocean!
