To be honest I think that people are looking at these sorts of details in far too much detail. (Myself included). At the end of the day, these are replicas so they are never going to be 100%. Having received this watch I am blown away by how good this looks and feels. No complaints from me, I am very happy with the product.

I agree with this, i had dinner with my friend last night he just got a Gen 116610, I wore my ARF sub with Gen DW mod and prix xtal. we were having a good look, small Differences in lugs and crown guards etc are actually very hard to notice even with both watches together. It’s all negligible to the eye. You have to have both watches on top of each other and up close to the eye and sometimes you think “Am I Seeing that or is it light reflection” it’s that hard to see at eye distance comparing both watches together in the same hands even when you know what to look for
It made me realise that, while its good to know and see the differences (to get improvements) they are so small in reality, that obsessions over them is not worth it.
That said, some More obvious details like an ARF date font and cyclops we would have spotted right away with both together. Case lugs I would not worry.
If you looked in enough detail you could probably spot minute differences in gens.
