Unfortunately not - simply going by memory. Could easily be that the magnification on the rep pics makes it more pronounced. Although I think I recall a similar commentary offered by someone on one of these forums a while back...
This is my first attempt to upload a picture - I hope it works. This is a gen pic from the web that looks like the one I saw in person. To me, the gen swirl pattern is less pronounced. I'm not sure what you meant from your prior post, but I assume something the original poster cares about is whether or not it looks like the gen.
pic worked fine!
i think you are right about original poster..
but for me i think i will be happy with rep..
and have not heard much negatives about dial..
A couple of gen pics and a cool new one (unrelated)
I guess the angle of the picture and lighting and zoom would all affect the appearance of the swirl on the dial
check out this all 18K gen I found in my search for 007 pics
Plus the reps bezel is too bright of a blue. change with a good insert and the dial will look more subtle. the 007 smp dial i got (regular) looked like crap until I got the bezel insert. 100% improvement.
