No worries mate. Members tend to give too much credit to gen RG, but scientifically, RG contains copper and copper develops a patina over time according to its exposure to its environment. RG does not tarnish, but it does change color over time. Both RG plating and gen RG contain pure gold and copper, with silver added to dilute the color of the copper. AP RG, like any other RG compound, is not immune to color changes as long as copper is involved. So imagine a rep RG plated watch and a gen RG after 6 months of daily wear.. say under the Australian sun. Both will 100% change color. So in order to meaningfully compare the colors, you need to compare both watches worn under the exact same conditions for the exact duration of time, to call one out as "wrong". Zoom out to the real world scenario, and you will see basically how this protects most of the rep RG owners from having their watches called out based on color alone. My friend's alinghi looks more coppery red than any rep RG which I have seen. And a lot "heavier" in tone than any of my RG watches. Yet that watch is a gen (yep I have tried it on myself).

So wear your watch worry free. I have stated many times that confidence and attitudes are keys to pulling off any watch. To put it in essence, a guy wearing a gen, and a guy wearing the rep with confidence, will appear to be the same to the casual non-specialist observer. Forget the color and focus on your own preference. I bet that you can carry off any watches you love in real life.

Last but not least, as with Jobe0074 and all Aussie members here, I charge a pound of kangaroo for every snippet of watch related advice given. Jobe currently owns me about 3-4 full grown roos. I do accept shipment via DHL and Fedex. Will PM you my address later thanks K. :legend:

I think I would have had a heart attack noticing a change of tone in a gen before your posts! Always have worn RG sparingly and usually at night so I guess I have never really noticed in other watches as any change may have been very slow compared to a blasting of daily summer sun lol

Seriously Al if it wasn’t such a pain in the ass with customs to send you a few kangaroo steaks I would! Maybe when this global mess is over you can visit us down under for a pound or two? You will notice all Aussie RWI members flock as we relish any opportunity to have a feast and drink ourselves silly.

Fuck it, I just took the plunge as well, little birthday gift to myself. Just put the order in with Yu (or is it Catherine now lol) from Mirotime. Can't wait, this thread pushed me to get it as I was debating wether the SS or RG version. Also been considering a 5712 but they're OOS on mirotime.

May be selling my noob v3 daytona soon to fund that next purchase...

Thanks to everyone in this thread!

Nice - congrats! Initial thoughts? If you can, pls snap a few pics outside.

This is an extraordinarily high quality rep, the mirror polish on the edges of the bezel and elsewhere are flawless, and the wrist roll (I made a video but can’t figure out how to post it) of how the bracelet shines as you rotate is spot on to my 26331OR Gen Royal Oak with solid gold bracelet. An outstanding rep and definitely worth buying im very pleased. Also the weight isn’t too light either compared to gen. A wonderful rep.
