I'm trying to get the movement opened right now. I believe it's gen but figured I'd ask here too. Will post more pics and update soon

My sole basis for saying rep is the 12 marker seems slightly off to the left. This could be the camera angle or even be something found on a gen.

Based on the pics the dial seems to lack texture that you see with a gen.

I think is gen, the corners of the indices are round on gens - unless this is newer/another verison

Both jewelers I went to don't have the tools to open the case back. However the warranty card I received with it was authenticated as gen

To my knowledge of the current ZF AND V6F reps, this is neither. So it's either a gen or a new rep we haven't seen before

You can open it yourself by creating a Ball of sticky tape and then rotating the caseback. The problem with the new Tudor Models is they use a larger casebackthread than the tudors before or standard rolexes so you need a special caseback

How much did you pay for it? And you can always try to open it with a sticky tape ball.

LOL. rep AF! No need to open the case (hope I am wrong, otherwise Tudor needs to up their game big time in QC dept). Hour marker at 6 o'clock is not properly aligned and the dw is not perfectly centered either...you WANT those things perfect for a $4K watch. Also, how is the bezel rotation, any back play, that would be an immediate tell.


PS: you can also check the power reserve after a full charge...gen should last 50+ hours...a2824 won't

Crown play is amazing. Bezel play is perfect too. You might be seeing a picture issue, I'll take new pics soon.
