Reviving an old thread to update and correct my impressions on this watch. Today I visited an AD and had the gen on my hands and wrist. Guess what? The replica I own is very, very close to the gen!!! The dial seemed very, very similar to my replica (from my memory. I don't have the replica with me now). I was expecting a huge visual impact caused by the sapphire dial, but I was disappointed at how simple and dull the gen dial looked! I must confess that I suspected the AD was displaying a replica watch in order to prevent the gen from being harmed by customers handling it, but then I turned the watch backsides and immediately realized the movement was nothing like the A7750 of the replicas. In summary, the replica of the X-Pro IS a very good watch and a very, very close copy of the genuine.
