Also, I forgot to add that the blue tinted gens are not limited to one model. Gen owners had mentioned the blue tint across a few models, I remember one of them being a white Explorer II (the one with the orange GMT hand.)

I actually did a search last week on blue tints on R*lexforums. Apparently, there are gens that do have blue tint on their cyclops as well. Supposedly it depends on the method or manufacturer that is used to do the actual AR coating. But from multiple posts and threads on R*lexforums, there are gen owners who do report the blue tint on their gens as well.

Thank you. I also take it that there are ones without blue hue? If that's the case, both models would be correct.

I believe the majority of gens lack the blue hue from the AR. That's probably why people were asking about it on the forum since it is more rare than the colorless AR.

Here's a comparison shot I did with a gen DJ41 datewheel vs. ARF. You can see how much bleeding the print of the ARF has, which is probably causing the issue with the bold date windows.

Hey mate,

Super, super pictures! the watch looks really clean and well assembled. It’s hard to believe it’s a rep!

Regarding the DW, I’ve said this all along, was the same On the 3135s the ones people used to think were updates were just better printed.

Let’s see some more pics when you have time

Here's a lume shot, totally forgot about that in the first run.







Those are all shot with daylight only. I'm too lazy to set up studio lighting for my watch pics.
Great Pics for Shure.????
I have the same watch, second batch.
Very pleased with it.

Lume looks great and colour consistent, this rep just gets better and better, can’t wait for my QC’s to come through.

And a quick wristshot with my smartphone.



It look‘s amazing ! Can‘t wait for my QC‘s picture from Ryan by Intime05. Can you tell without a magnifying glass that it is a Rep watch? Or is the watch really so good that you can't tell?

Honest answer: yes, I can tell from the crystal/cyclops. It's not bad, but still not perfect. Not sure if anyone you'll meet in everyday life would notice. If he can, he's probbaly a fellow member. Most gen owners have no idea about the stuff analyzed on sub-atomic level on RWI. ;)
