It's wrong, sure (not dark enough, slightly wrong font), but it's overall much better than it was. I for one am happy with it.
Which td did you use and hlw much did you pay for this? Might pull the trigger as well

Well bad news - my TD said that FK factory has taken too long to respond so they are canceling my order. I ordered it about 3 weeks ago and still no response from them. I'll probably try another TD later.

Got to try the gen on today. They only had white gold of the 5177s. The sticker price was $23,400 but they said they could negotiate down to $16k. Not a bad price considering how lovely the grand feu enamel is. I believe I am going to order the white dial with breguet numerals in SS now (like in one of the pics) in the v2.
The grand feu enamel is something to behold in person. The reps don't come close to the feeling yet but they have at least the look down. The date wheel is white like the dial here.
And here is the 5177 with guilloche. The biggest difference from the rep is how shiny the circle is with the Arabic numerals on it. The date wheel is also made from silver like the dial and has a blue print.
Here's the new 10hz movement ($40k) the seconds hand was butter smooth:
It was a bit bigger (I believe it's 42mm)

The watch arrived last night! FK Factory v2 is a dead ringer for the gen IMO. Only tell is the thickness. It's 38.3mm wide (gen is 38), and 10.1mm thick (gen is 8.8). Wow my hand is dry haha.
Here's a comparison shot:

Here's a comparison shot:
Yeah but isn't the guilloche pattern on the original (the bottom white) massively different than the pattern on the RG rep? Wouldn't you consider that a tell?
The pattern used for the dial of the rep is the one that is currently used on new 5177 Breguets, the other pattern was used in older versions of the same model.

New ultra thin 5177 posted on DTIME from MK Factory. Looks ultra thin, they say 8.5mm, and it looks like it to me because the Miyota 9015 movement is directly decorated and doesn't have a deco plate. I'm ordering one this week.
The only difference to my eye is the polishing of the hands is not as nice and the lack of true grand feu enamel. I can live with those things, I think...
