Mine is pretty close but then it took buying a Noob and a JF and combining the best of both along with custom blended lume to get it this close. One day I'll have it thinned but that's expensive and I'm in this for a (to me) fortune already. Two reps, a Profsteve crystal and a mdded gen 7750.. . . the color on the dial/tachy are also not 100% accurate.
This is one of my all-time favourite watches. It's not one I wear very often (90% of the time I wear a one-of-one Noobfactory prototype rep of a single red 1680 that was a gift many years ago from Angus and then modded by the god of vintage Rolex Mods, @RolexAddict to the point where I have had one of the world's top Rolex collectors gushing over it in a chance meeting (no way would I have had it on if I had expected such a meeting) but when I do wear it I'm confident enough to wear it anywhere. Yes. it's a tad too thick but no one could pick that 1 point something mm on the wrist and I don't take my gens off for anyone let alone my reps.
At a yacht show client and contractor day ()'m a contractor, not a client), I ran into the local AD who gushed over it while I was cringing away from him. I didn't have to, he had no idea, probably because he himself had never seen one. My state AD got one example and that was before he took the job. These things are so rare senior AP sales staff have never seen one IRL and the only real tell on this one, the depth of the case is too small to be seen on the wrist. It is, about as perfect as a watch gets, it's just not a practical every day wear for me.
