Highly doubt it. Pretty sure it’s SS.Is it heavy version?
Amazing on a leather strap, imho
Maybe it’s the color contrast with the gold, but the blue dial looks really nice on this one. The 12 markers look slanted to me though.
Too little info to tell mate. Noone has even gotten a rose gold model here yet and noone has owned one of these for more than 2 months. But most replicas nowadays don't "flake off", the bigger concern is they tarnish and change color after long term use depending on environment and wearing condition.How is the rose gold on them? Always read it flakes off or something on other gold reps. Is it the same with these?
Same issue with gens. Gold tarnishes and changes color. The gens you see online for sale has been through service and polished to get rid of the surface blemish. Very easy to do at home with some simple tools.Too little info to tell mate. Noone has even gotten a rose gold model here yet and noone has owned one of these for more than 2 months.

That method doesnt work on reps because its not real goldSame issue with gens. Gold tarnishes and changes color. The gens you see online for sale has been through service and polished to get rid of the surface blemish. Very easy to do at home with some simple tools.
I agree with what you said pending my side by side comparison with the gen.Light or not there seems to be a huge difference.
Just look at the date wheels which are supposed to match the dial, same shade difference between them as with the dials.
Not to say it’s bad, but it’s definitely nowhere near perfect. Same thing with blue.
The bezel screws are a very simple fix that you can do yourself. The marks next to the crown could just be residue from the protective stickers - just reply with your highlighted picture and ask them to check/clean the area and send you an updated pic.Just received my QC pics, and I noticed two issues I would like to share and ask for your comments. Firstly, the bezel screws at 10, 11 and 1 seem to be misaligned/crooked, and secondly, it looks like there are some scratches, especially right next to the crown. Any advice is highly appreciated.
Thanks, just did that and will of course let you know the outcome.The bezel screws are a very simple fix that you can do yourself.

Ask the td to wipe away the area near the crown to take more pictures. I think 2 areas you circled are dirt but the first circled area on the left could very well be scratches.
The macro pictures also blow things up way bigger than the eye can see.I agree with what you said pending my side by side comparison with the gen.
It’s a very good rep but nobody should expect a sub $1000 watch to be exactly the same as a $40-50k one.
But also to be objective, a lot of the differences we see, are a lot more obvious when seen in the forum pictures than when encountered in real life. Often real life tells are holistic in nature beginning with the wearer. And that’s also why many times I get the “hey nice watch and I’m 100% sure it’s a rep and we are fellow RWI members” sidelong glance. That’s when I also realize that I need to show more class instead of wearing the Legion of Doom spiked shoulder pads and being in the screaming, rowdy and jostling crowd to grab the $1 clearance sale items along with the desperate housewives. Lesson learnt.

I have a 26400, and there the screws fit just perfectly.If you have a 15500 or 15400, can you see if the bezel screws fit?
