The white dial is actually surprisingly dynamic, I managed to get one at my local AD

It has a certain ivory tone at certain angles which you can see a little bit in this shot, it also has a similar grain to the 5711 white dial IMO.

Whaaat you have a gen bro, that's awesome! Most of the rep white dials are shock white, not that great ivory tone. Maybe Noob's will be different, that's gorgeous.

I think the red triangle size is OK but the color of it and the month indicator look too dark. They appear maroon and not red. Maybe just lighting but red usually doesn't darken in bright light.

Also I'm not seeing any hint of sunburst in either dial section. Surely they wouldn't have made it matte?

The space between ROLEX and the triangle on gen is alot more. The rep almost touches the logo

im really excited about this! id be fine if they cant rep the movement and calendar functionality, we know it'll never happen. Im more concerned about aesthetics, specifically the blue face. the rep is too dull in comparison

TD pics usually do look a bit dull though. Would be cool to see how the bezel action is. I’m def gonna keep up with this thread!

I noticed that. It could be because the GMT wheel is bigger on the rep. The second hand tail looks longer on the rep yet even so it doesn't reach the GMT wheel like the gen one does.

There is no GMT hand, it's a rotating center wheel independently adjustable from local time.

Sorry I wasn’t clear, I meant the hour hand itself on the gen has jumping capabilities if I’m not mistaken. On the gen you can jump the hour hand. Maybe he was asking if the rep would have any of those functions. lol confusing topic for a complicated watch!
