Based on this, is it fair to say that the C4R issue is independent of the Rolex ‘X’ flaw? I.e you can have the X flaw regardless of whether its C4R or the lower case c4r?

I should be receiving mine in a week or so but this has gotten my interest. Although truthfully, whether it’s C4R or lower case, it makes no difference to me anyways since it’s not visible to myself nor anyone else while on the wrist.

I have been comparing my QC images compared to my gen GMT, and honestly can’t see much difference in terms of the ‘X’. So either I got lucky, or maybe I need to have my eyes checked.

There was a post awhile back saying a TD confirmed they're using both clasp codes on the newest iteration of the watch and dial. I just received my QC and it's C4R with the correct X.

Would really appreciate if someone could clear up this whole X issue for me. I went back about ~40 posts to find some kind of comparison of a dial with an X issue and one without but couldn't find one (I think I saw it a couple of days ago but couldn't find it anymore).

I received this zzf v2s, it has a clasp code of c4r but it X looks exactly the same as the ones with a clasp C4R I've seen? Just to confirm its regarding the X in Rolex?

The main reason for me trying to clear this up is that I received the incorrect watch (i.e. not the one I approved at QC - that one had a different serial & the C4R code).

Everything else looks fine to me but would really appreciate if some of you guys weighed in!

Apologies for the quality, unfortunately, I don't have QC pictures.

I really would like to know from experts, I can't see a flaw here, the rehaut is perfect aligned with the hour and minute markers, the bezel, the dial, date, cyclop, the case, everything looks great, what am I missing?

I really dont get why people seek out faults that they cant see. If your happy that's all that matters, and it's clearly so minor if your looking and still cant see it. Relax and enjoy

jeez that looks good!

Dont get me wrong you could nitpick here or there but given the price and just how close it is that looks epic.

Got mine coming hopefully this week so im super excited!

Thanks for sharing the photos they look great for comparison, would you mind telling us does the dial on the rep looks lighter in general compared to the gen? we don't have the exact angle for both watches on your photos so is bit hard to tell.

Yes you can tell it’s a little lighter, but still to my eyes they were good I think. You have to but them in direct sunlight to notice the difference.

Yes that's the typical weakness in all rep hulk dials, you get a laser sharp ray of light green under strong light, whereas the gen is more progressive and subtle. Your pics illustrate this very well, thanks. Bezel insert looks very good

Watch arrived today and it looks totally stunning ! Only issue with it is the crown. It feels awe full to screw down to the case. Just give it a damn good clean and got a load of fairy liquid in the gaps see if it lubes the thread. Worst crown I’ve ever had. Worst case will put a gen crown and tube in. This watch is worth the wait. Simply stunning.

Nice insert!
$228 is not cheap but definitely an upgrade to those who bothered by the slightly pale green on other factories/older models.

$228 inclusive of shipping?

Hi Guys,

First time poster here although I’ve been lurking in the dark for a while slowly building my knowledge on all things reps.

I've just received my QC pics on my first rep. Is the 3 o’clock marker a little low or am I being paranoid? Also the right hand side of the clasp looks loose? Can anyone with a keener eye point out something I’m maybe missing?
