Thanks. I have not decided if I shall get the den DW yet. It would be an upgrade for sure but still the magnifying of ARF crystal will not make the numbers a bit larger than gen so I would need a gen crystal to fix it and that would be like the cost of this rep.

So I will wait and see. I have Interaktiv on hold for a while, trying to enjoy this piece first in these depressive "stay home" days...

Apsolutely enjoy it at home for now but when virus stops,you can change only DW and it is a big upgrade trust me... especially on numbers like 5,8,9,26,27,28,29

The numbers looks much better indeed. Need to think it over. The friends I hang out with wouldn't notice if my watch was named Rolecks Datef*uck so I can't say I'm in a hurry... it would be for my own sake

these are some of the critical numbers of stock DW
you can zoom yours and compare with same dimension

Hi mate is this a stock ARF dial? It looks different to mine, not sure if I'm being paranoid or if it's because of the way the light is hitting it.

Mine below.

Yes, sunburst dials are known to change colors a lot depending on lightning.
kudos Your dial looks perfectly fine. And I've seen many reps and gens on pics and videos these past weeks :)

Comparison with GEN Date Disc and stock

Was the crystal changed between before and after? The "before" picture seems to have crisper font and sunburst. Maybe its just the phone having better focus before.

well...if that has to convince me to spend money on a gen datewheel and the hassle to send it to a modder... well...not really doing it for me..the before looks great in comparison to gen. Surely I can see the difference yes I'm not blind

In my opinion the gen dw and crystal are the absolute gamechangers for Rolex watches. Evertything else is almost impossible to recognize with naked eye even for experts.

Gen parts like DW or crystal means nothing if it's not well installed by the modder. Gen Rolex makes the WHOLE DW align perfect.

Top 4 pics are gen 116613lb.

The black rep sub are modded where the gen DW has been misaligned to the left.

The stock Datejust ARF-pic have well aligned DW and crystal with a bit bold font.

I would personally rather choose the rep DW with slightly fat font if it's centered instead of a misaligned gen DW mod.

Akilles of course the gen dw has to be aligned perfectly.

More than than the gen dw is the gen crystal with the black hole effect the absolute gamechanger. Even for a "rookie" like me in many cases it is an instant tell because of the reflection. I know there are some gens without the black hole effect.
