You mean it sits a tiny bit higher than the other letters? It's baaarely visible, even rotated and extremely magnified, see below. No issue in my opinion.

I agree, everything looks worse blown up on here! Can’t read it without my glasses on anyway lol!

Received today from KSwatches who gave superb service as always!
Just some quick pics.
Having owned and modded both the Noob and ARF versions of this I can say for sure this is the best overall. Initial negatives are slightly too recessed sels and the dial could be more matte in brighter light.
Lots of positives though. Great crystal, hands are very well finished, bezel numbers are excellent and as near to gen as you will get. They are very bright in low light too. Case and crown guards are the best by far. Datewheel nicely positioned with great font on all numbers.
The bracelet has lovely polished edges so no sharpness and the clasp works and fastens nice. Diving link is good but I always take it off as many gen owners do!
Lume excellent too.

Quick shot of the SEL recess next to a gen. The XF looks bang on to me. Noted the gen is a MK1, but case and bracelet should be identical (I'm not aware of any changes other than the dial print). So glad the fixed the CGs. Big improvement!

I agree, it is only a fraction! I’m starting to sound like duckber lol.
Cg is very good now. This is a very good rep. The insert is exceptional on this. Engravings were always too deep on ARF but this is perfect.

For comparison, both pictures show the exact same watch (my 126610LN).

Pictures of gen dial and sels for reference guys. This XF looks pretty good, have an ARF SD43 and looks like this could be better.

Let me know if anyone wants shots of anything else on the gen.
