Got my H-fac FC diver delivered 2 days ago and also reacted on the difference in lume on dial and bezel. I also said that in the 740+ posts thread about this watch and got torched by a guy that I should have a look on the gen and bla bla bla.

I have looked on the gen now also compared over 100 gen pics and the lume color is little yellow on the gen but the bezel matches the dial. On the rep it doesn't.
Other than that it needs the Angus Ti caseback and then it's very very good. My crystal was very good also and no smurf cyclops..

The cobalt blue looks richer than the mildly greenish hue on that colorless one I've seen even though it's just angles imho I also think it is more anti glare dead on in the sunlight, but to each his own,I saw one that had a yellow tint that was really bad btw

Great watch man, looks like it was worth the wait even if there are a few things that could be better....

It's Awsome to see the large bezel numbers unlike the ones found on the pt version.

Enjoy it.

Thanks for your observations. Mine should come today and one of the first things I will do is head down to the local AD and compare the two and see for myself how Gen like this watch is.

I have noticed something, however, and it always seems to be the same. One person posts how "flawed" or "bad" a watch is and then the army of people who don't own the watch or just like to compare pictures chime in on how the watch is not good because the 'flaws" need to be fixed.

Specific to this watch, when reading posts by people who actually own the watch and have seen the Gen in person (Not the Gen SS diver the actual FC Diver) overwhelmingly the consensus seems to be that this is a great watch with very minor imperfections that would not give it away as a Rep - certainly not while on the wrist.

As far as the crystal goes, some owners say their crystal is just fine and some have said theirs is cr@p -

Does anyone stop to think, just for a second, that both may be true?

Sometimes I think people forget that we are not dealing with the quality control of AP themselves and somehow have convinced themselves that their fake watch should be on par with the QC of the Audemar factory itself! Hahahaha

I like to take in the opinions of everyone and focus primarily on the consensus that develops from people who own the watch and have seen the Gen in person.

When I see a review from a person who has never held the Gen, I take that review for what it is worth....

just so you are warned if you over tightened the nuts on the inside to recess the bezel screws you can risk cracking the bezel, and no I didn't do mine when I took it apart but I saw a small chip at one of mine on the inside and I'm sure it was because factory did and I bet this was one of the hang ups, that bezel is real ceramic not coated steel;)
