Nearer than you think
If you guys think you can tell the gen from the rep just by the "color" of the white then you are totally delusional.

There are WAY worse tells than the color of the dial.

The bezel in the v4 was supposed to be good but it's trash if compared to the latest CF.

And for the black 116500 the subdials are way too shiny, they should be almost matte in order to be like gen.

Or maybe you didn't make a fair comparison.
My ARF V2 dial has the exact same size counters as the gen :)

I'm sure I have the thicker subdial version and I can tell even without measuring that the rings are thinner than gen.

unfortunately rep factories are not reliable, they improve something and make another worse :-(

Here's my piece. I've bought a lot of heavy hitter reps in the past 2 years but I have to say, this is probably the most satisfied I've been with a rep purchase. Is it perfect? No, of course there's small imperfections as with any other rep - but this feels so damn good to wear, especially on my small wrist. Any reservations I had before kind of melted away once I wore it.

Could I please ask the experts here to help me quickly with this QC photo. I haven't pulled the trigger on a rep in nearly 10 years and have read most of this thread trying to educate myself but don't want to miss anything. Thank you in advance.

how many versions of CF bezels are there? I always assume CF bezel versions refer to the sub line, not for the daytona.

I'm also interested in the answer. How many versions of the Cf bezel are there? Can anyone answer please! ;)
