Gen is much darker

Man maybe I am color blind because I see them very alike. Yes Gen might be slightly darker but not such a big deal tbh

Personally I think it's a bigger tell than the CHS. Here is brighter artificial light

we should compare both with different lightings,
I can't because no have a Rep
but actually the bezel seems quite darker and the paint more uniform, imho

Amyway, i finished the mod. More pics coming tomorrow.
First get the ingredients :
Then mix the chemical metal with the hardener (included)
then apply with a tooth pick and even it out:
Should be quiet flush to the bezel.. meaning there should be no gap between two layers.
Part 2 coming tomorrow.

Well, the end result is
Pretty darn good. No pictures during the day cause it's quiet cloudy in Berlin lately.
So the full procedure is
1) Apply some chemical metal with hardener to the numerals 18 and 6. Even it out with a tooth pick.
2) let it dry a bit like 30 min and use an empty rollerball pen to make the numerals deeper again, basically removing the excess. You can use anything else like a pencil or something like a plastic pointer that is very thin, roughly the cutout size. Keep evening it out until it reaches the bottom but still no gap is visible between botton and top parts of the bezel
3) Apply sharpie paint and after 2 min clean out the excess. Repeat 2 times.
4) next day use a cotton cloth with some alcohol and gently rub on top to even the surface out. Don't press to much.
5) Voila
Hope this helps

Do you think this bezel color is closer to gen?

Did you get the CHS version?So, I've got this watch today, overall its pretty stunning except for that shitty bezel transition on 6 and 18. At first I thought that sharpie silver pen would fix it but then I saw the real problem with it.. seems like this bezel is made out of 2 parts and the "soldering" point is exactly where 6 and 18 are. They are not leveled. Bottom blue part is slightly higher (inside the cutout of the numbers of course) and that creates this annoying line. It's easy to see, just grab a needle and go through the cutout, you will see that its uneven. At first I tried to use some kind of very liquid glue to even the surface out but it didn't work and sharpie pen on top wouldn't dry properly. And then I found an old tube of chemical metal. And voila... really tiny amount to fill the unevenness, let it dry, paint 2-3 layers of sharpie on top and it's pretty fucking perfect. I'll take some daylight pics tomorrow cause I just did the number 6, will do 18 tomorrow since it takes some time to dry and I'm already half shitfaced from G&T and beer.
Sorry for the crap pics, but you'll see what i mean.
Not modded "18":
Modded "6":
Expect more updates tomorrow.

Would you tell me what version is this my gmt? Bought in China a month ago. I do not have numbers 6 and 18 of double color but in return I have numbers a little too white compared to gen. It's possible to make a change? Look platinum?
