the MK definitely has sunburst...i believe the GEN has sunburst as well. the SW clearly has matte dial...

MK has nice sunburst but from the pictures we see so far the sel fitment is a lot better on the SW. Of course the dial is more important therefore MK is the clear winner but I hope we could buy the SW bracelet separately later.

wow, I'm simply stunned with the quality of the MK sunburst. Haven't seen yet any of the petit prince rep with such nice reflective dial. Well Done MK

Have decided to wait for V2. This is not worth of over $300. The number 7 and 8 position is obvious flaw..

good eyes my friend, I didn't spot that. Wow, you are good, I think it is going to take a while for them to fix it. May be wait for the first batch sold out.

The 7 and 8 is ever so slightly closer to their respective hour markers. Agree that it's mind boggling how they made such a silly mistake given that they have the genuine watch to rep from (according to what the TDs are saying) but it's such a minor flaw I really don't see what the fuss is all about. Even AP ROO twice the price of this has more obvious flaws.

you are going to need the gen in hand and a ruler to figure out it's a rep lool

Great! Have you chosen bracelet or strap, Korneevy?
.
I've gone with the strap, the end links on be bracelet look like cr@p, plus all rep IWC bracelets with micro adjustment I've seen/had are way off, so don't see a point of spending extra cash on something I know won't be up to my expectations...strap is prob also quite bad but that's more or less a given to start with;)

Interesting pictures, thank you! So let's hope the MK maker also corrects the lugs side shape of the PP in the final version.

yeah, i think the alignment is exaggerated due to the misalignment/scaling of the hour 3 and 9 white markers seem to be relatively off to each other
