bezel alignment is not an issue anymore, the factory did fix the problem with the newer reps.
like I mentioned, the differences are subtle but definitely visible side by side. To me, the black version covers up the biggest flaw. the blue on the rep is COMPLETELY off vs gen. But honestly, for some strange reason, I like my blue dial rep better then the gen blue, which is a lighter tone and changes color under different lighting condition vs the rep's blue that is more navy and bold.... call me crazy.
Looking at the comparison pictures some more, bezel number font is also off, "swiss made" too large, sub register contour and texture is off as well. Don't get me wrong, this is a great rep and that will match with just about anything your wear, I really love mine ... but in terms of accuracy, it can't beat a simple noobmariner or UPO by a huge margin, it is just that most people do not know about the gen aquaracer.
