Guys, seriously? If we consider this a "flaw", 99% of other reps aren't even watches... Holy shit! :D

We are here to detect the differences (although little ones) in order to inform buyers, dealers and even makers.
Also we are indicating and registering differences to can identify the reps and the version in the future
I'm receiving every day pics of watches asking for identification, rep or gen and rep version. Do you know another good system to get the identification aside knowing the differences ??

To consider the differences as a flaw or not depend just on you.

...Which is awesome as hell and I am a huge fan of your work here!
I was just kidding about the R-flaw. :)
I still think the rep dial color is too grainy btw...

No worries mate.

Regarding the grainy maybe [MENTION=88130]shoes[/MENTION] could chime in

The dial has a grain to it if you look at this photo taken on my usb microscope but it is a fine grain

Thanks shoes
Could we conclude that rep has a bit more grainy dial surface?

Based on the photos earlier I would say the finish on the rep dial appears to be a coarser grained than gen

First of all, thanks for your work.
However, I guess, under the "eye" of an "USB microscope", we all will get eventually surprised to find such subtile differences between two GENs units, too.
My congrats to H fac for such a magnificient rep.

I think it's a super rep! I have gen and I am v impressed. Ok there are small imperfections ie crown guard corners are slightly too sharp and the dial is just a touch more textured etc but from photos on the wrist I think as others have said "its the bomb!!"

Everyone is nitpicking on the curves of a 1mm letter print on that dial ....


How about the date-magnification? Can we see some compare pics so I get a clou if this is right?

Thx in advance,

Dr. Theo

Couldn't wait. Had to make myself a strap for it before the watch has arrived :)


Hi, i made the same choice "blue shark-gold tan stich" for my 087!
Mine is Abyss from Simona, also asked for a personalized tan/gold stiching too match aged tritium.
The result/combo is awesome !
