I think they meant, that if you wanted it your only option was to go the GEN route ! ;-)

Yet to see the bigger factories rep this model.
Ive seen really cheap versions of this floating around wechat and DhGate with an aluminium bezel inset.

Very fat numbers on bezel
Will be possible to buy GEN insert ? Don't think is very expensive

That dial actually doesn't look to bad. For a cheap rep.
But the bezel, o my. That font! And the Pearl...

Gen bezel insert? Nah. No chance I think.
Gen Bezel? Probably won't fit

Gen bezel does not have an inlay. It‘s manufactured of one piece of steel. And it doesn’t have this rubber infill like the outgoing Superocean models. So the bezel of the rep is totally wrong and looks like rubbish.
