Base of the hands should be silver not dark but otherwise looks good...assuming lightning is playing a part in the crispness of colours on dial hands etc.

The base of the hands are different colours to gen. But in reality actually pics show rep is good to true colours...I’m increasingly tempted by this one.

Looking further at chrono24 a number of different sellers that are gen all are showing the watch with the case back “One of 2000”...pics are different, sellers are different but the case back is the same?

I don't think they are individually numbered. I don't think the "One" refers to the first watch produced. It's just that each watch is One of 2000 produced.

There is just a shadow on the rep hands and it seems there is dark colour, but it isn´t.
This rep looks very good.

I saw a review of the gen watch on one of the big watchsites and these fact was critized, that a limited edition watch should have individual numbers. So this is like on the gen.

As the movement on the original is based on the ETA 7753 (sub dials at 3,6, seconds at 9) I'm surprised all dealers are saying it uses the A7750 (sub dial at 6, second at 9, and 12) as that would require some extra work to get move the small sub dial at 3 to work, as I presume it must function.

My thought is whether for reliability, you could swap out the A7750 and drop a swiss ETA7753 straight in without mods.
