I'll take that as a genuine curiosity and nothing else, especially, after rereading my post, I can see how it can sound a bit too " direct".
In any case, I don't the see any contradiction in wanting to have the crystal AR coated and wanting the section under the balance wheel finished as well. If I said I had my crystal AR coated but also wished it had a movement closer to gen, then I can get your point, but that's not what I said.
Compare the rep to the gen side by side and you'll surely find the gen. Have the rep alone inspected by someone into Pateks, they will still find the rep, but I'm pretty confident that to them, and even for anyone not specializing in Pateks, having that undecorated section under the movement is an easier and faster tell than having an AR crystal, or the markers being crooked. You can always have the gen crystal AR coated, and the markers as I said are also crooked in some gen models due to the markers being hand applied. An undecorated movement, on the other hand? Could that be chalked up to the people that decorated that part, that assembled the movement, that inspected the whole watch, that sold the watch, and that bought the watch just not noticing?
And it's not really even about just having a watch as close to gen as possible (in case someone gives me the "on thE wRiST thE MOVemEnT is Not EvEn VISible, tHE DIAL iS tHoUgh" or the "You sHouldn'T EVen BE pASsiNg this oFF aS a Gen sO wHo CaReS aBoUT tHe MovEmenT"). Some (e.g. me) just want something close enough to gen, but pretty nonetheless so they can ogle at it during their free time. The latter part of course is subjective, and for me, that means not having that undecorated part that's visible at a distance even if it entails having crooked markers that can only be noticed under close and focused inspection, and perhaps even with the help of a loupe.
You may not agree with the above, but to not appreciate that people assign different weights/priorities when getting a watch is different
