What happened to the chrono needle and date wheel? Is it the camera angle?

The date and chrono are fine. I'm trying to conclude this project with a full write up. Once done , it gonna help the rest who are keen to build one..
I would like to say thanks to many as well. For those who points me to the right direction , right place. Kudos!:cheer::cheer::cheer:

Left GEN AP White theme , Right Frankened AP White theme
seems to me that gen dial does have different variants.. or maybe due to lightings ?

Is it the stock crystal you have on the franken? Lighting will make a big difference Also

Are the gen and rep tachy engravings really that different? Also why does it seem so dark in the date window? Any AR done on cyclops or crystal?

gen and rep tachy are different. im using a rep tachy for the frankened.

i fail to capture the silver date window, its due to lightings.
AR is not done on the cyclops. i used the stock LWO-283 cyclops...

Also, it seems there's difference indeed. Look at the subdial markers boldness.
