Holy hell !!1 they got the under lug pushers for the date change and everything !
Aside from the movement, just the day & date windows look on the small side.
Thanks for posting !

Fantastic watch,this is a first class rep and highly desirable.
Very interesting to see the watch dismantled, and to understand just how much work has gone into the making of this masterpiece.
Only issue I could find is the font on the Day and Month,otherwise Superb!

Thank you @Repworld for this comparison! Any idea how to replace this ugly date font with another one?

Thank you! There is a very nice version without Day/month that is much closer to Gen in my opinion. Pretty watch. BP is my favorite.

Looks like the put a lot of effort into this. It’s a shame the font is so far off. The gen is a crisp thin font and the cutouts for the Dw window look bigger too As well as the cutout for the sun/moon phase (which I am assuming is not a real moon phase, and just sun/moon indicator on the rep).

How big is this one, 38 or 40mm?

The one with the simple date @ 3 is 40mm and is spot on
