Wtf is wrong with the dial? Is that just a reflection? Now I'm worried...

I'm positive that's a reflection.

having only held the gen, I can only speak for that, but the dial, despite being matte sort of, it can still reflect light, unlike old vintage matte dials, being curved only makes it more plausible for that to be a reflection.

Gotta say that looks nice but that crown just isn't great.... And the pearl is OK but again not great... All in all looking like a positive outcome so far

Dont know. I just think about how many people pre-ordered (400 x 318 per watch). We are talking about 127,000 cash. In just preorders. Talk about getting some capital to get it complete. Still very impressive
I know roughly how much was invested in this and believe me that doesn't cover it.

Jeez you guys are getting picky! You want perfection go buy the gen. Only a handful of years ago we would have killed for this level of replication.

I think I may need one of these, I'll decide after I see one in the flesh.

you definately need one. a sweet vintage "sub kindda" but beefy. if the crystal has any of the look of the gen, then it's a nobrainer, and from the pics so far, it looks like the watch is identical apart from the pearl sorround, which is only marginally different.

Ordered 2, approved 1. The other looks like a little scratch on the red insert. Asked if it was just dust or debris.

Now im wondering how that works.......if they sold out all on the preorder, and you reject a watch, where do they get a replacement
