I don't think there is any review comparison on this yet as I had been trying to search around and finally found one using some possibly "chinese" searching terms and compiled them to imgur for easier access in RWI. As usual, don't mind the watermarks (not mine, not helping them to promote or whatsoever, I think either the author use them as a promotion or "steal" others and watermarked as his (I had heard some rumours on that)) What is in the content (as in pics) which is the most important. I think the gen had been used (which is why there is some "dirt" or "scratches"), the thickness of ZF is slightly thicker compared to gen? (maybe to my eyes), lume is slightly "brighter" green hue on the rep, engraving is lighter on the rep as well and the A7750 movement (balance wheel at 11 o'clock) is nice too. Overall IMO this is a nice replicating. Any opinions from the members are welcome too! Cheers and enjoy!

some sneak peeks and translation by me according to the words on the pics (for the benefit of those who don't understand chinese):
?? (gen), ZF (rep)

red: similar hour and minute hands between the gen and rep
green: similar AR or reflection

the other view:

red: the crown bridge "handle" pulled out are similar in angle
green: logo, second hand, date wheel are similar
ka3zclI.jpg


red: bezel polished is good on gen and rep
lrhb5Gc.jpg


red: sapphire crystal and bezel "sits" the same
gZ5ockm.jpg


red: the "view" from the crystal to the case (it's difficult to differeniate between the gen and rep from the "naked eyes")
gren: crown guard position is similar between gen and rep

red: brushing is good on the rep (comparable to gen)
Mm500Hk.jpg


red: clear caseback crystal
green: the balance wheel (decorated A7750 - p9010) on the rep is the same to the gen p9010 (@11 o'clock)
yLuJ5Hl.jpg


red: ZF use red "jewels" (imported swiss) on "plates" similar to ETA to make it more difficult to differeniate between the gen and rep
UVFfN0Y.jpg


red: overall case and brushing are finished well on the rep (comparable to gen)
green: crystal height is similar
33aWTyv.jpg


red: the "springbar" and "depth" are similar, and thickness of the bottom case are good on the rep (comparable to gen)
SwybxCA.jpg


red: engraving on gen is "thick", "blurry" and not sharp but rep is "thin", "clear" and sharp
pnarjuh.jpg


red: the thickness is the same on gen and rep (15.6mm)
Fxd5tKJ.jpg


red: the lume on gen is lighter and "darker green" and the rep is brighter and "greener" (imported swiss lume)

Nice one. I just received my v3 kw 1523 so a review of that to come in the next few days.

Spoiler alert... the gen is lighter and thinner.

[MENTION=87036]Airbase[/MENTION] so far I'm not sure about the KW. The chinese seems to prefer the ZF for PAMs which is different from RWI. I think KW do not have A7750 yet? They are using ST2555 @ 6 o'clock

This looks great! Really makes me want one. I love my 005 and wear it more than any other watch in my box, but I really do miss having the date function.

Holy cow! The differences are so small you probably will never be called out with this rep

I am super excited to see these start to make there way into the homes for RWI members. Love to see how the movement holds up and if it's more than decorative.

haha that will be a tough question to answers as it is not done by me lol. Probably the author of the watermark, probably not.

Haha ok! Would be nice to see a gen/rep review with actual QC pics from someone
