Judging by the guys post history, he actually is from China. He rarely posts on r/reptime though, so we will see in the next week. For now, I'm going to treat this as cautiously optimistic.
Yup, I've also been checking his reddit history. Seems legit. Here's a quick rundown on if his claims are real or not. Pros:
- judging by his reddit history it seems like he's indeed Chinese
- date font seems to be on the thin side, somewhat similar to the PPF white dial (but some gens suffer from that also)
- the dial color is very evenly distributed, there's no obvious change in the middle part. On the gens it seems that the center part of the dial has a lighter/silverish shade of blue giving it a special effect
- the silver part of the hands seems thinner than the gen
Cons:
- the date printing has a shiny 3D effect which I can't really make out on the pictures and videos of the white dial PPF
All in all it just seems too good, even the Patek Philippe font is spot on. I don't think that it looks fuzzy on the white dial, it's in general a much thinner black print which makes it look wonky on lower resolution pictures. I'm torn.
