its hard to say from the video ... i have the rg and fc gp (non fc parts as i have my own already to install ) coming next week and will see how the new sub dials looks and the new strap from the video .. i would say the sub colour is much better then old incorrect dark grey . but on the gen its actual sliver not white or a light grey !! the strap hard to tell the grey on the shoulder of the straps seems to be lighter and the accent on the side .. incorrect marital .. don't get it they say the gen strap was used as reference to make the new version and still off !! that being said will compare when they arrive !!

i was thinking about this watch for long long time , looking at pictures and wondering if i really like that watch , i never saw it in any AD so i couldnt see it with my own eyes . after many hours of thinking i finally took my decition
i will pass on these watch and it wont be in my really small collection !
why?
not becouse it is expensive , the reason is the colors , there is to much going on there , red with silver with golden , i dont know , it is just too much for me i guess , very funky sporty i guess but just too much

I don't know how true this rumor is, but I was chatting with a TD and I heard that a factory is gearing up to produce the forged carbon watches within a couple of months, and not at $1380!
That said, I have been drooling over Puretime's new carbon GP and barely restrained myself from ordering one on the spot. The "faux carbon" just doesn't cut it for me.and am looking forward to hearing how it looks in person.

Quite right. And the gen parts are even more brittle/prone to damage than my parts. Someone came to me a few weeks ago with a gen that had a damaged bezel and told me that he was quoted $5000 from the AD for a replacement. Puts things into perspective, doesn't it?

Exactly, the gen is unbelievably expensive for carbon parts.
Hey Shanno, have you shipped that package my way? Nothing showing here as yet.
No rush, just worried it's missing in post.

yes the colour does look blood red ..on pictures on the net .. but in reality its more the red /to orange tone ... ive had the gen to hand .. its quiet a light red not deep at all!!

@zorro , but still there is a difference between the red on the replica dial and the gen dial?
i don't know how to explain the color difference between the 2 of them on the pictures , if the picture of the replica dial is taken outdoors , then it will be even lighter?
if yes , then i think the gen dial still more red than the replica dial
