Peekman Your gen dials are so good-looking. Nobody replicates Rolex bluesy blue well-enough to my eyes - I wish.; They’re gorgeous.
Are you finished with yours or would you ever think about using a gen AR crystal with the engraved rehaut watch to make them even more different-looking to each other dude?

After i got the gen, the rep has just been sitting in the drawer, i see no point in using it when i have a gen (that isnt used that much either) on the other hand, i would not have done any more work to the noob either way, its close to perfect as it is in my book.

Peekman Woah Peekman, does the gen 16618 feel very heavy by comparison please bro? - highly unlikely I’ll ever be able to touch a gen by comparison to find out myself haha.
I’ve always wondered how a genuine gold 16618 feels in weight compared to something like a stainless steel six digit watch. And also compared to five digit watches.
I should just go ahead and do some research. But yeah, agreed!! - if you have the gen, that BP rep is already doing a good job without even more stuff. I think I used an AR crystal just because my other five digit sub had a no AR crystal and I just wanted variety in small details. I took advantage of anywhere I could have differences I suppose. That gen dial makes it look awesome. Thank you so much for sharing photos! They say 1000 words. Superb!

Nice watch you got there!
I have both the GEN and franken BP (gen crown, date and dial)
This watch is SO close to the gen there is no way to tell its rep unless you have it side by side.
The BP is more green side by side, but on its own its hard to tell apart!

There’s roughly a 10 gram difference between a 16618 and an 116610. It nearly identical in weight to the 116613.

I tried the 16618 on a few times when I was moving up from my 116613. Felt like I was wearing a “smaller” watch but same weight presence on the wrist.

Ended up going to an 116618 - nothing I tried stood a chance against the 220 grams of solid gold.

Just finished adding a gen dial,date wheel and insert. I decided to try out a black dial and insert this time. Both have some nice fading. Waiting on a black vintage leather strap to arrive.

Just received my new BP 16618. Really nice quality and good gold color. I added a gen crown and insert. Wearing it on a leather rally as the bracelet is a bit showy. May throw on a gen dial in the future but here’s some pics with the current mods.

The colour is pretty good and usually I scrutinize YG reps. The BP bezel teeth gotta go though.
