Side by side AR vs Gen, nothing beats gen but AR is close enough.

ARF does look good bro. Especially if you are lucky enough to get a bracelet with SEL and mid link sides covered. ARF is inconsistent in that regard I've seen many more not covered than covered. Other than that, the fat lugs are a shame but can be tolerated if not side by side to a gen and they still have stock left of inserts with the right side engravings pushed to the right. Might have to try one of these as I can't get a good Noob and I have a JF Spongebob insert.

Fair play unless it’s side by side with gen it’s hard to tell

The dial is slightly off and yes a gen xtal and probs dw would change the way it looks but for anyone with a gen that wants a beater this is pretty spot on the case shape and insert is just somthing you can deal with

Well it looks like one is a powder finish and one is sunburst. Both are available Ge depending on the year of the sub so just because they're different doesn't mean it's not accurate. Unless of course he is trying to rep the Gen he has. Then he'd need to change dials.

Thanks for the comparison! Pretty good job from ARF, according to the pictures. Tony23 what do you think about the gold color on the hands / numerals and insert numbers compared to gen?
The most "obvious" difference on ARF for me is the DW and cyclops, then the dial (gold print) and the insert. But it would be nice to have a side by side video or more shots in the sunlight.

I have the JF flat blue and sometimes the gold looks a bit too yellow.

The gold colour is close enough. Both hands on ARF are a bit wider. The most obvious is the dial colour gen is more faded blue(some gen ex, 2012 seem to have the same colour as ARF), basel on gen is just a little bit darker. FYI. My gen is 2019 model. What I like the most with ARF is the over feeling and craftsmanship when you hold it side by side.

The best way to know is to ask them mate. Just send an email to your usual TD

Which one is gen? I see difference in dial color between them, but the sunburst can vary very much in gen depending on light. Im a gen owner, looking at the same time on my wach I'm looking at your comparison pics and can't spot the rep.

He said there are different color in GEN dials. Earlier version have darker blue dial. His GEN dial is lighter in BLUE.
Can you show us your GEN dial color?
I want to know if ARF dial color is spon on, I wanna get one.

Nice pictures, but the bezel insert would be the first upgrade I would undertake on this version.

I have the gen and I think the bezel insert is fine.

My JF bluesy with flat blue dial is here! Here's some shots for comparison. Will take some better ones without the protections and with sized bracelet soon.
What do you guys think?

Excellent rep. Looks dead-on for gen.

Another side by side..

Gen (2014 model). The dial can have countless colors depending on lightning, angle, environment, shadows and so on. Thats why the sunburs dial is so fantastic and hard to replicate by 100%. Don't know why Tapatalk rotates my pictures by the way...

I like your comparison pics but it would be most helpful if you write which one is rep and fake so no there is no confusion

darker dial is ARF.

Looking at post 421. Is gen the 3 o'clock or 10 o'clock? Can't say that which one is darker but I can see difference in the dial hue.
