The indices and hands do not match genuine. The color should be more similar to the dial where the replica is off in that regard. Additionally "white" dials especially those that are machined like this one, almost never match the genuine article. They may be close but rarely are gens "pure white", they're more of an off white which makes color matching complicated. As someone pointed out earlier, the white dial isn't as "silver" as the gen.

I'm going to get one from InTime Ryan after CNY.
Choosing the white dial, I think it displays the texture and detail so well.

Thank you!
And the black dial? Does it really match the gen or just has less flaws in your opinion? )
Sorry but this sounds like conjecture. We haven't had a side by side comparison and it's an assumption that white dials "almost never match".
Sounds like conjecture to me that "white dials almost never match the gen". We need to do a side side comparison to confirm.
That being said, would definitely agree that it's easier to replicate a black dial than white.
There was a comparison from earlier in this thread. White dials, especially off white dials on almost every rep that I have owned or currently own, are much trickier to match. Something like a Rolex Exp II with a pure white dial is much easier to match that the creamier white dials we see on things like Breitling Chronomat Evos and dials similar in color. One poster already mentioned in this thread that the white dial is not as "silver" as his genuine overseas chrono.

Thanks Z3br4 for that point.
Went to flip the gen & yes, it is kinda pearl white but not pure white.

I've the white dial and it is not pure white. It is silverish under different lights. I also have a lot of black dials and actually prefer the black dial, but bought the white to have a change of pace
@jasonbaylee
I believe it's not pure white. Here is a shot with a pure white dial
Bought white for the same reason as everyone. Too many black dials
