CTime posted a picture of the gen dial they copied for this model, and it explains why they have copied the exact same E defect as well.

It goes to show TWO things :

1) "Gen" Rolex is not infallible - imagine the poo

2) You have to give applause to Clean for going to replicate so deeply that they even replicated this defect, even if it is wrong lol

I hope it also shuts up everybody crying about the E defect and shitting on Clean. "Rolex" is not much better.

Shame the people with the Gen rare factory dial misprint are going to have a hard time proving it after it's been repped to the masses 🤣

Rolex branding and typography is not good. By that, I mean that it’s a complete shit show.

They currently use between 4-6 different logos on their watches. And an even greater number of different coronets.

The packaging has a different logo to the watch, which is different to the warranty card which is different to their point of sale backboards.

Their big ass clocks you see at events also use a different logo.

None of this is intentional - they are just really shit at brand implementation.

So there’s no value in sweating these details when the gen dials are ass.

Did they fix it already or are my eyes starting to fail me (image from my approved QC)?

Isn't the C+ DW much further to the left?
Yes, and gen and Clean dw is farther right than the 2 & 4 markers. Just going by that cropped pic. I hope I didn’t blotch that post 😁
