Yes that’s gen.. although the lip is not lit up, you can tell immediately it doesn’t have a loud white gasket around the crystal.
Clasp codes? Fine details. This is a high end rep, it’s $500 not $200, details are important, if the code said FUK or DIK or 18K or 888 or was 4 digit or something else nuts you’d want to know right?

No. It's a clasp code. It's not visible. It is entirely irrelevant, if it said "Street Fighter" on it, I couldn't careless. It's a clasp code, the only thing clasp codes have ever been useful for in the rep community is to identify the manufacturer of the bracelet... as often ARF, NOOB they used unique clasp code references for themselves... That is it.
Talking about codes on a clasp (as if they're some flaw) is just beyond pedantic.

Ok I need to know just for sh*T’s and giggles … clasp code 101 Fam.
Do we all know what the letter and number combinations represent on the actual clasp? ding ding ding!!
That’s right folks year and month of production. Do we all know when Rolex stopped sharing that information with the gen pop? Right again folks 2010 that’s when they went “Random” so we think, see there is no such thing as “Random”
To them every letter and number combination represents something. If it was truly random then we would have multiple cases with the same combinations. So let’s look at these random numbers for a sec. Do they mean anything to anyone outside the inner circle of Rolex Gods? Let’s take my clasp code on my Gen for instance it’s - 1LP can anyone tell me what this combination represents? I have seen multiple combinations with the same yr and month as mine could it be that they still represent something to someone other than you and I? I believe that my Gen Pepsi and the other few that have chimed in on this thread if we were to sit together in the same room and swap watches would be able to see minor variations with the naked eye, from yes clasp codes to slight differences in depth of said code stamp. Not to mention crown positioning or even dial variations.

I don't mean to be evasive but I wouldn't pick either. I like my ROF a lot. I know some people have had some issues with the bezel not rotating well or the clasp or crystal not being great but this one is an excellent sample. It's completely stock except for a 10 minute paint mod to help hide the join lines. It's got a little bit of lip and little bit of cherry. I'm not going to worry about doing any better any time soon. There's a lot to be said for knowing when to quit, haha.

Would a Clark xtal work instead of a Gen xtal? I understand these are pretty good for the price…

Yes. The $34.50 Clark's with AR cyclops are a decent improvement. I've used a lot of them. I would buy 2 gaskets for them (I like to have 3 on hand). You get one gasket with purchase but it's useful to have a 2.7mm and a 2.85mm for an install in case the date mag looks off using the rep crystal. Ask the vendor to send you a special listing for all parts so you don't pay double shipping.
