I really don’t think the shade on RG can be judged by different photos, need a gen to cf comparison in the same photo. I held this watch gen 3 times in different light and it looked from dark af inside to almost yellow in direct sunlight.
I had multiple versions myself and none were even close to gen. This seems like more of the same. I'm happy to be wrong, but I have never seen the gen look like this in ANY lighting. It's likely to just be bronze just like the rest of them.

RG looks way too coper like in these pics. I recall seeing the comparison with a Gen and they didn't look that far off. I guess I'd wait to see more member pics, not ready to pull trigger yet..
my dealer sent me some photos
I've held my VRF 116655 alongside my friend's gen and they're very close side by side and fluctuate in different lighting from light to dark colours. @k.stoichkov is right, need comparison pics side by side. They looked close to me in the promo pics, I'm getting close to ordering this one each day.

After approving QC images and getting your tracking number how long did it take for you to receive your watch? I received my tracking number on 9/13 and it hasn’t updated from the shipping carrier since. Should I reach out to Intime or give it some more time?
Brand new arrival… looks sick OOTB. Probably a keeper for awhile, this one. Everything looks crisp and irl the stock crystal is frankly not the worst. Previous CF xtals were way worse. This is satisfactory for the time being until OCD kicks in and I need an upgrade, hahaha.
I received my ARF datejust recently super quick didn’t know if anyone knew the average times for shipping usually.

Shipping always varies, bro. I’m based in Asia but have gotten packages as quick as 5 days and as long as 20. The same advice will be given by anyone - have patience, and if worried (after a decent amount of time has passed) just check in with your TD. But to be honest, once TD shipped it and provided you tracking, it’s hard for him to control the process as well. It’s always about patience and hoping packages don’t go lost or stopped by customs.
I've seen a few of these CF RGs now. Seems that every single one has an issue on the serial number where 6th and 7th character are too close to each other (usually number and X). Plus I haven't seen which model is engraved. On the rhodium TDs did show that it is 126622, but none of the TDs has shown the RG case engraving. So it could be that it is not 126655 but 126622. CF has done this before 
Hey guys, I just GLed my QCs and would like to share the QC pictures with you. I am happy with them and looking forward to this watch.
Small issue I saw is on one photo a date thats a bit low, but i dont give a fuck on those kind of things. Looks like a solid watch to me and i will be happy with it.
For interest I have a question to you all who arent color blind like me: What do you think about the color, pointing at a GEN everrose Yachti in comparison? I know, difficult because of light scene, but every idea will be appreciated
thanks

@derjenigewelcher this is like 1:1 bronze edition. Not remotely gen like. I suggest replating it if you want it like gen.
Thank you for your information, looking forward to others. Nah, I wont replate it, dont give a fuck as long as it looks good for me
But was wondering. Cause on GEN/REP comparison it looks better

Genuine appears to be more pink in tone, but without a reference point it would still be a fine watch in person.

It looks amazing in the picture shown, but real life qc shows the rep is unfortunately not nearly as impressive.
I have the 126621 gen and I think the rep RG is pretty close at least in picture, not as different as some people said. So congrat on your piece. Love this model.Hey guys, I just GLed my QCs and would like to share the QC pictures with you. I am happy with them and looking forward to this watch.

It looks good from the dial and build, the only people whi will know that it's a bee's knee from the right colour are people on this forum. They fluctuate in light so much that no one will notice. I have the opposite, a close to gen RG in my VRF, but a crap dial.Thank you for your information, looking forward to others. Nah, I wont replate it, dont give a fuck as long as it looks good for me

Enjoy and wear in good health.
