That's not a picture, it's a 3D rendering, it's known how these renders are totally different from the real thing, especially the ones found on Rolex official website

The render is actually made with the same data as the CAD/CAM of the product. I know the company which produces these.

The aim with a CGI render is to try and get the product to look as though you are looking at it with both eyes, so the 'lens' used to make the render in 3DSMax will be very long - 200-300mm. A photograph gives the impression of looking at something with one eye shut. Especially when taken with a smartphone - it gives a really different look. All these comparisons of shape between the gen and rep using random imagery of the internet are useless and misleading - unless you have a side by side, by which I mean a real side by side you can't tell much.

Anyway. More interested in the BLNR - I never liked the Pepsi - far too much going on IMO. A real dog's breakfast of a watch.

Nearer than you think

yeah pretty much.
On Rolex's official website you could still see the new 116500 daytonas rendered with the 116520 ROLEX font, a couple month ago, it was a joke lmao

Yeah, that will be Rolex giving their agency the wrong content. Rolex doesn't know what they're doing half the time.

I know how these threads go, lol. After taking apart the watch in super-macro shots and pointing out all the flaws, members start receiving theirs and in the end are blown away with the live example. It is not easy to see all those flaws in real life.

The usual disclaimer: Not an expert, but this one looks like one of the best Pepsis I´ve seen. Definitely the best bezel overall, I never understood how people could live with bezels with thinly- engraved numbers, sometimes frankening the hell out of them with other gen parts.

All other details, maybe they can be modded. The crystal looks good also. If it is in the VSF level, I´m game :)
