Now this is amazing! I would not be surprised at all but what I understood is that your build is so GEN-like that the staff at the Rolex AD in Carmel were completely fooled when they handled it!?

Sorry, are you saying that there's a new third batch of ARF with new subdial fonts?
My next individual franken, received this dial today, now need a noob watch for,

Bought yesterday the noob 4130 will used for my new Franken build, the new 116519LN, will be perfect, will fit in 116509 gen hands, the one with red subdials and seconds chrono hands, with gen crystal and all gaskets, will be a beauty.

Difficulties on build?
On the 116515 none, all fit in perfectly, even gen hands
On the 116500, a nightmare on gen hands to fit in, need to mod them a little, the subdials ones, 2 of them and the seconds chrono hands too,
Shaved the ARF dial was easy, just have to go carefully and slowly.
On both need to shaved the outside gen crystal gasket, they fit for steel bezel and not ceramic ones, 0,2 mm to fat, I braked one ceramic bezel before understand!!!
Servicing done by my watchmaker, Harleysta91, who made a very good job, one was over oiled and the other not too bad at all but on both metallic parts and graphite dust, so IMHO servicing is a must do.
WAfter servicing, used them one month and after return to my watchmaker to check all run as have to.

How does the dial look like in real life, i was on the edge of purchasing the watch but i was not sure of how accurate the gems would look
