Hello guys I'm planning on buying this exact model. Can you share your experiences with the movement? Anyone having issues?

OK, guys. I got my hands on a gray gen to try to compare to my ARF gray and grape 114300s. There are differences. The ARFs are very recessed compared to gen. The glass on the gen is whitish when viewed from the side. It is clear on the ARF. The rep pics first, then gen. The gen's glass might also be shaped a bit smoother. The ARF quality is quite good, but the brushing on the gen is just finer.

Was the coronet shape on the dial the same? In one comparison the "O" in the crown was different in the ARF compared to gen. If you still have access to the gen can you do a picture side by side? Thanks in advance!

Sorry I didn't check the Coronet and I don't have it to compare. Coronets are just way too small to see with your naked eye in person and just too small of a detail to really matter in comparison to the other things I mentioned like the SELs being too recessed near the bezel, the dial being less finely brushed, and in general the polishing and glass feeling less smooth. It's a good rep for sure but could be improved. The SELs and dial brushing to me would be priority for a V2. Crystal gasket also needs to be whiter I think.

I mean the Rolex crown at 12 o'clock (if you are talking about the LEC)

Sorry, I didn't specifically check that.

When are the factories going to re lease a correct white or black dial? Those one are just plain looking compared to the finely faceted hours markers on the gen! The white gen is so classy, the rep looks damn cheap in comparaison IMHO.

Hi all, i'd like to know how much the charge of this watch usually lasts or should do. i made 3 efforts. i charged it manually and i didn't use, the watch stopped after 40 hours. then wore it for half day and the charge lasted 4 more hours. then i charged the watch and i wore it for few days, it stopped after 2 days and 10 hours more or less. what do u think, is it fine?

 

[freediver]

yup, 40 hrs is fine !

Yes, I see. I was not aware the 114300 gen had minor updates. But as you could see, the SELs are much less recessed on the gray gen in the pic, but your grape gen seems to have more recessed SELs than the gen gray I saw. Very confusing.

The new white dial is pretty compelling, I've got a Rhodium dial and have often considered selling to pick up the white. I keep resisting the urge thinking maybe it has to do with the season (Summer)
