I think changing the crystal to gen will give the watch a completely new life, particularly for those colored dial models.
Any idea what is the Rolex ref. code for it?

Yep it's a Chinese fake watch , and i spent more than that on Friday night ,out with the Mrs . However it is nevertheless a glaringly obvious with the naked eye tell .
They've used the text from the 114300 39mm rep on the 124300 41mm rep . Just saying otherwise it looks great .

I would debate that I've seen the gen in person it's not as clear as you think
Yep i wouldn't comment if i hadn't seen the gen watch in person .That said i haven't seen the replica in real life only the macro/QC/member pictures in this thread . The dial text is noticeably different in those pictures, thinner and flatter .Just my opinion though .

Silver KING OP41 QC from a TD just given the green light, now the agonising wait for the watch itself!

I've got a King that is getting a gen dial and a GMF that is getting a gen dial. I can compare these Frankens to my Gen OP41.

I read that for the 36mm size, the best version is GMF's. Does it turn out to be the same for you?

Green OP is gen, I tried on and also saw the silver dial. I know these are different color dials, but honestly the thickness of the text on King is very close to gen ; Text printing is raised, not flat, which is correct as well.

Yeah, if anything the gen uses a heavier font but really, when I look at my EWF on the wrist, I can't even really see the weight of the font. Hyper-magnified on web pics or through a loupe, yes, but otherwise it's fine.
