Some will argue that they don’t even look like the same watch but I firmly think the date looks great.

krkqm2008 , As always, it's a matter of personal preference. But with these two it's even more so. Besides both being tool watches they're apple and oranges. The AT GMT is a bit more refined whereas the PO 600m is more rugged and at 45mm w/o pushers, it's huge. Get the one you're likely to wear most and add the other one later.
Anyone know if they will be coming out with the white GMT? I would imagine the answer is yes.. timeframe? Days, weeks, months?

I agree. I think it looks great too. If that comparison is legit, and I have no reason to doubt that it is, there is no way anyone no matter how knowledgeable they are will ever be able to tell the difference on the wrist.

What I want to know it what is Asovo looking at when he says that the date/ date wheel is way off. I can't believe he is looking at the same comparison pics and saying that

The GEN has more rounded edges whereas the REP has a more sharp date cutout. Also font is different, also GEN is raised whereas REP is flat. GEN is a tad ivory color, REP is white. GEN sits higher, REP more sunken.
These are micro variations and even hard core ATGMT lovers will not spot the difference. I stand by my earlier statement – this is an amazing REP.

Thanks for the more detailed explanation. Here are my thoughts after further inspection:
1) Some of you guys have a much better eye for these things than I do & honestly I'm kinda glad about that......
2) Date Cut out: I now see what you are talking about. The radius on the corners are different. Radius on the Gen is bigger. I doubt anyone could tell the difference without a loop.
3) Date Font: You are probably right, but I can't tell. Since the dates are different and none of the numbers are the same it makes it difficult to tell . Slight font differences will not be obvious on the wrist
4) Date Font: Gen is raised and Rep is flat. You are probably right, but it is really difficult to tell even from these macro shots.
5) Ivory vs white. You could be right or wrong on this one unless you are the one that took pics of both watches and the lighting and the white balance and all the settings were exactly the same. Slight variations of white will happen even with the same watch. Anyone that is a photo buff will tell you this and since I am into photography too I could easily create this type of mismatch even with the exact same watch.
6) Date wheel sitting higher vs more sunken. Upon further inspection of those 2 pics I guess I see what you are talking about, but that is no where near as bad as many of the other ones we have seen in the past. I have my doubts as to how easily I could see this at wrist length without a loop.
I think that these "minor" differences are mostly if not completely invisible to the naked eye. I had to look really hard at incredibly zoomed in pics to see what you are even talking about so I think that if the movement is as good as all the experts say this one is going to go down as a really good rep. I know I will be ordering one soon.
Rejected - due to misaligned DW
This one might not be as bad as the pic makes it look. I don't think that pic was taken from a direct straight on angle. It looks to me like the lens was higher than straight on which is going to make it look ore that way than in when in hand. On the other hand it does look to be a little left justified.
Man that watch is a beauty!

^^^^ Just check out those videos of the gen for reference.
I think the rep looks really good. Just like the 8500 AT super clone that they recently released, this GMT one looks just as good imo.

Amazing! Who did you order from? Also, did you check the lume for leak/spillage? (Had an issue with Speedmaster LMPO Noob)
