I think it looks great, as far as the names go, I would hazard a guess to say it's an amalgamation of the different workers from factories that have been hit by the recent raids working under one roof?

Alphabet soup aside, this is a decent looking offering.

It has a LOT in common with my ROF, which I like.

PRO
Case shape
Crown
Lugs
CGs
Rehaut
Serial number
Dial print clarity
Second hand hole is capped
Insert
Bracelet ‐ flush SELs, 6MW clasp same as Noob jubilee
Movement ‐ 1st generation VR3185

CON
Short minute hand
Negligible/No bezel lip
Hour markers have square corners
ROLEX text has pronounced serifs (never on a gen 6 digit GMT, note the L)
Lower dial text is all same height ‐ no gen‐like variations in font heights (F E D in CERTIFIED for ex.)

Datewheel looks OK, hard to tell about the crystal from these pics.

Overall this looks to be a good rep, worth a try in my book. If the bezel rotation is solid, give it a lip mod and maybe a crystal and you got a nice piece.

CGs are so much better than CF

Note the similarities to my ROF ‐ dial text, hour markers, hands, rehaut, case shape, insert

3EF scallops look wider than gen, the teeth a little narrower. 3EF scallops are not as tall as gen but are taller than CF. The 3EF bezel is not as thick, which makes the crystal edge more visible. I would count that as a drawback, though it's not as bad as a GMF.

To be fair CF teeth no longer look like that. They are now longer on the improved lip bezel version.
