Just another cool thing I noticed. Some may have already noticed this bit.. From a design standpoint it's really cool IMHO. The reflection from the ceramic bezel at certain angles greys out almost exactly like the bead blasted Ti buckle... Cool!!

Very cool test. Now I see exactly what people mean when they say the AP text is to bold on the Rep. Never even noticed it before! Pretty damn close. We should all be proud of these watches be it H Fac or V3!

Bottom left and top right? This is only a guess. I am certain this is incorrect.

If the left on the botton is a gen, then the plots on the v3 have a perfect match to the gen

one more comment, the fonds on the fake look too thick, or is it just me or the lightning.
I always thought the fonds are ok.

That's right , fonts on the Gen are more crisp and italic ..

Pls fix them in V3.5 pls :)

9) fonts are not crisp
10) ribbing on hour hand is slightly too thick.
I now have my list of 10 flaws on the V3.

I checked out a gen today.

Unfortunately in person the differences are extremely clear due to the quality of crystal and shine of the dial.
Strap gap definitely does not exist and the bezel numbers are definitely closer on the gen.

I think I will definitely get the AR on mine.

Plastic wrap made it difficult to tell whether the case was any different.

Anyway AR is most definitely more striking.

Isn't there somebody selling ready made AR'd crystals?
