I would like to see it too. I thought the Patek classic font is unique and is not see in any other watchmaker models.

it is unique and made especially for the anniversary models. Thats why i want to be convinced of the opposite

Yep, the only ones I have seen is the green dial 5711 and the 40th anniversary blue 5711.
Guy,s watchbase.com clearly mentions that the exact same watch has the 324sc movement.

You can see it on the bottom right if you scroll down.

Yeah it is indeed the same movement - nobody doubts that.
The issue is the date wheel font. Which is of course not the same for each reference. There are some more subtle differences and also some more obvious ones like a completely new font.
On a side note - the new green dial reference comes with the new 330 not the older 324
Just receive my QG pics from Puretime... Looks good for me... I use to have a GEN one 5711 for years... it seems OK
So do the movements overall look/engravings differ and it's an easy call out in hand if someone looked at it? I know it's using a different variant of the 324 sc but I'm not quite sure what the exact differences are.

Just don't take off your watch to give to people, as it has been said before this watch is isanely rare and only those with crazy patek order books will get it. As long as you don't take it off your wrist, its fine.
If you want to give it someone, hope they aren't a crazy watch expertthanks for sharing. the green looks nice.
how does the green compare to gen? given the rarity we may never know.
wished 3kf had a better attempt at the dw.

No one knows since you will see a Unicorn before seeing the gen. I like the 3K color though. DW could be better but I can live with them (the latest batch are a bit bolder).
totally wrong font though. i know someone with the correct font but not sure if they will make a replacement.

Agreed but that wasn't the point i was making. I don't think 3K even makes the classic Patek Date font. Unless you meet a real Patek "afficianado", general public will not even know that 3K has the wrong date font

+1 additionally the dw is tiny and not magnified so the font and thinness are less pronounced imo. Or maybe its my shit eyes:hehehe:
