Saw it on FB but is it rep or gen?

Thoughts?

for me the dial and the bezel are gen, so either it is a franken base noob or it is a gen but from the photos at least I can't go beyond

antale, MasterWatch can you please educate how you can tell? What are the tells that made you state that this is a gen?

From these pics Dial, Bezel, hands and the braclet fit with the case. Look at how the SEL fit is on the case specially the corner of the SEL there is minimal to no gap. Reps the gap is bigger almost like a triangle.

I vote for Rep. In best case this is a Franken. The dial is not evenly installed in the case. Check out the edge of the dial and compare the right vs. the left side. The markings have different distances to the rehaut. This NEVER happens on a Gen. Never.

Could be an ARF, a Franken or a Noob SA4130 with ARF or Gen dial. But no 100% Gen for sure!

So the SEL is the biggest tell? what about a gen bracelet with a rep watch? will if hide this tell? it may be the case there...

No it wont hide anything... I tried 2 different Noob cases with Gen bracelet and it leaves an obvious gap:

Absolutely not the angle. Btw dials in Noob cases are often installed left justified. Check out all the pics here in the wristie shots and on the Td‘s websites. Same for my own Noob.

Agreed, it's not the angle. Even in the photo, the junction between the dial and rehaut is very clear (just use the chapter ring as reference), and after you pointed it out, the dial is obviously not centered.

My ARF has absolutely no SEL gap. My dial is also slightly off to the left. This screams ARF.

Case is correctly shaped, hands, dial, bezel are gen.
If its a franken its a very good one.

Interesting observation. So it tells us the case formed in a different way.
