I bought one a few weeks ago from intime. Mk factory on bracelet. It is a nice watch and the closest black dial version so far.
I always intended to try and franken the watch so this showing it with a gen dial now fitted. I have a crown and gen crystal ordered too.

Rep dial is close but just a bit short of perfect.
Gen is a darker more pure black and the dial print is sharper and more white! Rep lume is around 90% compared to gen.
Hard to show in a pic but gen dial is on the right.

Also triangle at 12 is slightly smaller and lower on the gen dial.

Here is a pic showing how much the rep reflects light more than gen. Gen stays much more black in direct light.

The same flaws as on 3777 rep dials: triangle @12 too high/3D and the rep-white is not as white as the gen-white. :clap_1: But it's really hard to tell.

Yep! You're right. Just waiting for gen crystal to arrive and really make the dial pop!
