Needed to scratch that itch, order placed and QC pics arrived the 9 o’clock indice looks crooked to me but otherwise not too bad.
Yah, I figured it could be the angle. I’ve asked for a couple more pics showing the dial square on.
But, here’s another one showing the dial
I owned the GEN, sold it!! REP all the way.
you always see something when you have both in hands or under a magnifying glass (markers, hands etc.).
gen is a simple watch (thats why i like it) - nobody will spot a difference to the gen while you wear it.
i dont know if there are different versions of the 41, but the (LF) engravings on clasp and of the serial and model number look different on my gen. but i know of other black bay models, that are pretty much 1:1 (smaller font, slightly black inside etc.). and one thing i am not sure, comparing it to 10 x sized pics of the rep: the outer ring of the bezel might be slightly different...
but even the brushing f.e. on the lugs and clasp is 1:1 to gen - great watch, great rep, no doubt about that....

I received the watch yesterday. Like you said in your hand you do realize some issues but nothing glaring. The 12 O'clock marker has too thick of a border and the bracelet edges are very sharp. The bracelet edges can be fixed. Biggest issue I found was the 12 O'clock marker was flawed but can only be seen if look for it in the right lighting. THe watch is keeping perfect time and the movement looked good and clean on the inside.you always see something when you have both in hands or under a magnifying glass (markers, hands etc.).
