I had 3 QC and all were rejected, nowhere close to Gen like above, so many issues. Waiting for V2 and hope it will be made in better batches.

This is really a great example of what sunken datewheel means.
Kind of surprised to see so many differences between gen and rep, but maybe my expectations of a rep are just way off.

I think it looks pretty good actually.
The date wheel not aligned kind of annoys me.
Subtle differences for someone that doesn’t know Tudor very well.

I have owned 2 gens of this and these pics show just how poor the rep is in some key areas! Bracelet fit is crap, dial is poor, sunken datewheel is bad. Crystal has blue tint and should be colourless like gen. biggest flaw though is the rehaut depth and finish. The dial sits too deep in the case on the rep causing the rehaut to be too deep and is not rounded and polished like the gen either. A shame as I’m sure they can do better!

For 1/10th of the price of the gen, I think this rep is just great.
Of course, it might not be 100% identical to the gen when observed through a magnifying glass, and many people here are only interested in spotting the differences between rep and gen. It's always very informative to read. I learn a lot about my various replicas and it surely helps me a lot in my choice of replica models.
But my interest in replicas is somewhere else :
The GMT (Rolex or Tudor) is a watch made for travellers. Which I am. And I would never wear a gen in most of the countries I travel to. The rep is by far, the best way to wear a beautiful watch in "unsecure" places. If it breaks or is stolen, I can overcome this.
I also like replicas (even if not genlike) because they allow me to own $70,000 watches for 1/140th of the price. (PPF Nautilus for instance)
I own some genuine watches but wear them occasionnally at home....
