Beautiful gen congrats! Thanks for positing rep vs gen pics. It’s kinda hard to compare with the patina heavy rep and the fresh gen but I get the gist of it.
I assume that’s the XF rep version since the blues match? The rep holds its own until you compare the dial. That dial print is beautiful on the gen, it has a slight shimmer to it under light and it’s perfectly raised. On the rep, I’m a little disappointed since I thought the original pics when it came out showed it had raised dial print? Anyone know it this changed? Seems pretty flat and lifeless here. Also, is that glue I can see peaking out from the sides of the bezel insert?
Nice choice on the gen, you’re a more patient person than I am haha. Waiting a whole year would be hard...
