The gen is released but not yet in the shops of the AD.

I made a big mistake asking for that yesterday at my local AD
They told me only "we never see it" lol

what do you think?

 

[slaughterer62]

Very nice. My next 44mm.

 

[legenda34]

Really, do you think the dial color is accurate?

 

[cgn1017]

It looks a beaut either way.... Looks like they got the dial squares the right size, correct me if I'm wrong... Also no AD has these yet so know one will be scrutinizing anyhow IMHO.

 

[legenda34]

thank you for the comment, i thought the dial color is darker than the gen.

 

[MADRED7]

...from this pic the dial looks darker than it should ... but other pics I saw had a very nice and close to gen anthracite color.

Have you got some more pics from different angles?

Dr. Theo

 

[cgn1017]

I thought the color should have a slight blue sheen to it at some angles??

 

[legenda34]

no unfortunately my dealer did not send me any other picture shows the dial from another angle

 

[cgn1017]

Lookin forward to seeing it in the flesh!

 

[legenda34]

so do you recommend me to buy or not?

 

[dannyw]

so the dial colour does change when light hits at different angle?

 

[legenda34]

i dont think so

 

[MADRED7]

OK, some explanations.

This full ceramic ROO should have an anthracite dial with a metallic shine on it. The dial (gen) changes the color depending on different light and angle ... goes from dark grey (nearly black) over grey, blue-ish grey, brown to light grey, nearly silver. I have seen it at SIHH eraly this year, a great color combination and worth buying even when you already own the FC ROO that might look similar.

Only question now is ... will the rep dial be anywhere close to the real deal??? I hope so and wish it will be as I love this watch and am ready (on the fence) for the purchase.

Let´s wait and see, so long no additional pics for an upgraded dial color or any words on release date.

I just got actual pics of the watch. The maker obviously changed the dial color from grey to near-black ... the dial looks horrible! The first try they showed would have been acceptabel, this outcome is so bad.

I won´t give my money for that watch ... what a waste of time and money!
