Nothing is better than real.

But just a heads up. Rolex does have a thicker font 3135 date wheel out there. Not as thick as the one that reps put on. LOL. But there are a few variations on the date wheel. While all the ones I have seen are mostly the same, I have actual seen ones in watches at the authorized rolex dealer and they look thicker. Every one I got new as a part have all been thin font.

Haha, interesting, I’ve learnt there’s many variables on the dials and now the DW this should make it even less hard to spot a very good rep.

Regarding installing the Gen DW in 2824, does this effect the original hand stack height and thus require further parts?

No. Keep your insert. No need too change it. The crystal and date wheel I can do for you. When are you coming to the states?
Thank you bro, no I am not coming unfortunately.. but I will be giving the watch to a proper watch smith to change the crystal, this guy works on gen watches and he worked on my genuine 3135 movement to correct a couple more issues.. If I can explain what he should do so the genuine insert goes in properly?

Main differences with the gen? And what you think should be improved to be a super rep?

You can see the black hole effect on the stock crystal there. Looks ok

Can anyone recommend a good DW other than a Gen for the ARF? Is the noob font better? the cost of a Gen crystal and datewheel is as much as the watch.
