One with hands I think. The dial print is far better.

That is the latest 42mm ballon bleu and the print is different from gen.
And yes the one with hands is the gen one

So Franken it with a gen dial at the very least.

I doubt you can see dif with naked eye?

Are you able to post pics without loupe?

There is some slight difference when see in naked eye for the printing especially the Swiss made words. For the Roman numbers plate the gen is much thinner. Not a must I should say but slight difference could still be spotted when you see with your naked eyes.

Oh and one last thing is the gen dial seems to be thicker compared to rep. You could tell from looking at the edge of the dw. Gen and rep is diff. You wouldn't notice that unless you know where to look at though. I remember YouTube has a clip telling this.

And the tip of the gen hands is much sharper than the rep ones. I am thinking of upgrading it since it is not that expensive

V4 is close but still have tht slight difference despite the year and patch difference. I am talking abt quality diff. While on the other hand I think the 36mm from v6F did a really good job. All you need is change the crystal and you are good to go.
