Dial is very close to original bearing in mind I have only seen photos of the original. It is truly stunning and I have spent hours staring at it. Also please remember this watch is 0.5% price of original

In pics the hand base of the rep looks larger to me than that of the gen. What's your opinion?
I have looked at photos of original (lots) and the rep and honestly I cannot discern and significant difference. At the end of the day it's a rep at 0.5% price of the original and it gives me 95% pleasure of the original - that is a win anyday
. I have put my money where my mouth is and ordered blue dial and rose gold green dial as well. These should arrive later today. Will post pics whenI get them

Waiting for my one to, I think factories took a 2 day break for their public holidays
Can you please indicate the closest grey shade to your rep dial in this pic:I have looked at photos of original (lots) and the rep and honestly I cannot discern and significant difference.

The blue one is also killer but I have way too many blue watchesWhen you simply cannot decide what colour you want
. The grey is the winner for me.

Don't you find that the shade of green is very light? Gen is darker green. I obviously like the green with a bright bezel very much

impossible to answer your question about the colour of the dial whether lighter than original or not. I doubt anyone has seen or will see the original in the flesh. the official photos are taken under lighting and so colour rendition may be different when see in natural light. there are some AP boutiques near me and surprise surprise they have no stock of anything except some models of Code . my wrist size is 21cm

honestly I am spending so much time staring at these watches - not getting any work done . AP automatic tourbillion - not sure it gets better than this
actually it does have the screws on the edge. you cannot see them as the watches are wound up and spinning so cannot see the screws on the edge. I raised this very question from my dealer and he told me to wait for the watch to stop and then I would be able to see the screws.
Believe me that is insignificant K if you consider the fact that this is supposed to be a replica of a watch costing a couple of hundred of thousands. A small fraction of the general population can afford the gen and out of this, even a smaller percentage will actually acquire them.
If you consider the matter holistically you’ll see that most of the owners wearing this are the tells, as far as statistics go.
I’m sure such watches are cool and fun to wear as replicas but details like that should not be a concern if you’re not looking to passing it off as gen. And if you are, then usual rule will apply: only the gen will satisfy your criteria sir. It will be a fun watch for the few hundred of dollars it’s going for. Try to view and enjoy it for what it is.
