Neither of the dials can be called as gen like. The colors are both wrong. Btw wearing this rep outside without owning a private airplane is a dead giveaway.

Have you even seen the gen in real life my friend? If not how can you determine which one is close or not?

+1 every pic online looks a different shade, so who knows which is closer.

theoretically the dial should be the same as the Tiffany box.
tinitonsi take another for the team and buy the girlfriend genuine Tiffany bracelet to compare the color for us. :thumbsup:​​​​​​​

Sorry for the double post, but I feel like we should be able to talk about our passion for watches.
Was really going through a RM phase and now moving out to explore the Pateks. Really liked the technical aspect of the inside out race car machine and inner workings. (Not cheapo skeletons)

But trying to find design queue that I liked. Over time I think i need a watch with a bezel. Dont like bezel less watches. Tried Chonographs and GMT but over time find I never really use them even through i like the business. So currently watch really gets me interested in this watch (in a isolated environment of self enjoyment ), is a sports watch with a nice movement to stare at, sporty bezel. and thinness of the watch. And going into the past 4 years, I think new colors have become hot. We have gone through a industrial design phase of neutral gray tones, and manly safe colors. Having colors in men's palettes seems to be in. Luckily where I live, watches seem to be rare. (Never seen anything better than a rolex around). I have had quite a few gen pieces but liquidated them for gen RM10, but prices last year went from 125K up 50ish. so prices have escaped me. Not to mention the condition of some of these in the gray market have no mention of service history which puts me off. Also in the back of my mind, service is 15K which means buying reps to scratch the itch is like a rounding error that you wouldnt even notice due to service costs. so on to the next phase...

This is not good for me. I have the 3kF blue, 40th, and now Tiffany inbound (just ordered)

As of now I have a Amazon "Rocos" homage holding me over for now

now i wait...
refresh.... qc pics?
refresh ...tracking?
refresh...is it here yet?

Stole these bags from my wife. These are both gen bags =).

Along with my stunt double Roco watch while i wait for inbounds.

I am happy with my 3KF. i like that slight deeper punch blue to contrast the black highlights. But I am bias. I have 3 3kfs inbound.

Markers are black chrome. Mainly black, but you can definitely see a very reflective shimmer from them. Haven't seen a gen in person, but I believe the gen does as well by looking at the photos. I just caught it at an angle that really made it reflect.
