First thoughts:

The gen dial has a deeper and darker sunburst tone. Side by side it's pretty obvious.

The thickness of the ZZF DW font is slimmer.

Markers on the rep look more flat.

Not sure if it's the rep crystal, somehow it looks more cloudy then the gen. Maybe a prof crystal will solve it.

What do you mean?

If the only consideration is the colour of the insert numbers you can colour match with paint which no doubt some do. I mean shitters from the gate are brighter in low light. Plating is obviously more difficult to match because of the process. They arent intentionally fucking up the colour. Im doubtful that pre v10 noobs or arf use plating. Arf is known to make the insert numbers deeper to try and avoid flaking

A few more pics of mine. Overall I'm pretty happy with it. I wish I hadn't seen the minute marker issue but it's definitely there. Aside from sitting too low, I think the crystal looks good... decent black hole effect.

The minute marker “issue” can also be seen in this photo of a gen watch from roughly 2 to 5. I wouldn’t worry too much about it :)

I love gen flaws. Really puts things in perspective.

What’s your opinion on the new bracelet and clasp?
