These pics are very small! But yes, looking at the first pic I would say your triangle is crooked. Only a little bit and nobody will really see it but it is crooked.

The machine is a scales to measure the accuracy of the movement. Don't know the english word, I think timing machine.

Crooked as mine is. Don't worry, most people won't see it. I wear it crooked and I'm looking for a gen dial. If I can get one, I'll change the dials and will be very happy with my 3777!

Its meant to have a blueish AR though. Gen is the same. Why does everyone want to change the bluish AR to non blue? The real deal is BLUE!!!

I'm still thinking about it looking at my watch and at the pictures of the gen. And I know now.
Yes, it's true that gen has the blue AR. So does the rep. But there IS a difference! The blueish tint is not the problem but the transparency. The gen crystal is blue and wonderful clean and transparent. The rep is blue and foggy. THIS is what is wrong with this rep.
I think that if this rep had the same AR as Sinn U1 rep it would be just perfect.
So... who is doing such blue and transparent double aftermatket AR?

Well my AR round will be hopefully done soon, some limitations but I try to make it happen also for bigger crystals, and my coating is super transparent and bluish. You know, I have 3777 too and I want to get it coated :) My AR is about 1:1 to genuine Omega newest AR so I know that at current state 3777 rep is nowhere near it.
The difference in ARs is that both can be bluish but the other has 92% transmission of light and the other 98-99% in the visible light region. That is why the other looks better.

Here you can see my AR color:

I know your ar buddy. I got your great crystal in my franken PO.
It's brilliant transparent and rather colourless. I don't find it bluish.

Maybe even a bit bluish/purple at certain angles? Damn I don't have any left from the previous round :D:

Yes, you are right Sunny. I checked in my PO. It has a very delicate puple blue tint at certain angle and light.
It will be perfect for me :)

Great! I thought it was just the right for 3717, just a bit better than the genuine :)
