Absolutely but if you were offered engraving and received printed text how would you feel?
That’s a different matter…..being offered one thing and sold another is f#%ked

I've noticed that my watch winder doesn't Wind this model, I've tried different settings and the reserve subdial keeps showing less charge, also should I manually wind it until it reaches the max reserve at the subdial indicator or keep winding until it is capped

I manually wind mine, don’t have watch winder. I just wind until it reaches max:)

Have you checked if the rotor is rotating in the winding direction and position?

What is your opinion about this SW custom dial? "How close" to the gen can you see it as compared to the stock v2?
Oops, sorry I missed the link:

Max at the indicator or until crown can't turn?
Crown keeps turning but power reserve indicator just stops and clicks between last 2 dots.

So in your opinion and based on your experience the dials of most gen versions don't contain green or turquoise or teal hue.
Im definitelly not saying “most gen versions”, I have not handled hundreds of them.
But I have had some of them in or on hand and i would say people make much more of a deal from the green tint, than it in reality is.

Oops, sorry I missed the link:
If you mean the dial on the last page, its utter garbage.
Wrong markers, wrong lume, wrong dot printing.
Colour is close, but the quazi-fumé with the blackish ring on the outside is trying to simulate something, that in reality is much more subtle.

So you'd choose the stock v2 dial even if the marker dots of the SW dial were correct.

How can I check that? I can't think a way I can watch the rotor while the winder is functioning
If you have a fixed angle winder then you can be turning the watch at that angle in front of you and see what the rotor is doing.
