CF. Swapped out the slate racing dial (too challenging to see the minute markers) for this CF Panda racing dial. Added the red chrono hand.
I find the clasp to be as close to Gen as ever on this

Looks fantastic … where did you source your Red Hands ?

Did you put them on yourself ?
Alpha hands set?

Comparison
126500 CF with deep crystal
116500 CF with gen crystal and gen clasp
The bezel font on the 126500 is brighter

@Space Man and @Hasselbaink - No. I sent it to a watch smith. I sourced the handset from Wholesaleoutlet990 on the bay. The sub dial hands wouldn't fit, therefore those are stock from Clean which came on the original watch (Clean with the slate colored dial). The red chrono hand, hour & minute hands were installed. Dial was sourced from @CTime (Clean). A DEEP crystal was also installed.
The reason why I did this swap was because as nice as the slate dial looked, I was having a hard time reading it. It's a shame really but I need to immediately tell time when I look at the watches I wear. With the slate dial, I couldn't see the minute markers. The lesson I learned (that I obviously never realized) was that my eyes prefer green dials, black dials & white dials.

What are the markers like in person? They look a little thinner and not as refined/shaped as the gen here
