awesome review, thanks. After getting so many sport watches I need to start adding more dressy options to my collection.
I received the dark blue crocodile strap from ABP today. I will take some pics of it when the deployant clasp arrives!

rek00001 My esteemed colleague is not wrong, my wrist size is the same as yours, 6.5 inches (or around 16cm) and I wear the smaller RMs just fine..
I also honestly believe that wrist shots of RMs is what puts people off because they always look huge. This is because of the effect of photographing from close up distorting the proportions. In reality this is how an RM looks on my wrist...

Hi Guys,
I have really fallen in love with this watch. On yt I found a video showing a gen. They state that the dail is really dark. The blues color is only visible in very light conditions. How does this compare to the rep? In the pictures the blues looks to be more bright.
Incredibly thorough review, thanks for doing these.
Thanks for the elaborate response. The small flaws I can life with, but the blues dail really makes the watch. But that seems to be in order!
If anyone can offer date wheel mod services for this watch, am willing to pay
My conclusion from your review is that everything besides the sunken date windows and slightly off date font is perfect on the wrist, though the dial might be off because we really need to compare the dial right next to the gen.
This watch is excellent for me: it carries out complications in such an elegance way and actually may fit on my slim wrist. There are a lot of gen 5205 dials of all color available on Ebay also. I am considering getting it and mounting the gen dial on it, and somehow have the sunken dates fixed.
Trusty website says the thickness is 13mm. You said it is around 11mm. Could you please kindly confirm which one is correct?
Edit: I believe that mounting a gen dial is less optimal unless we can get a dwo mod fitting the dial. The dial color from you picture looks fine.
Ohh... Also I found that the pages of the GRF version of this watch has been updated and displayed as "new products for May" on trusty. The GRF version now is $10 more expensive than the KMF, and before this update i think the price difference was the other way around. Interesting... I guess people are buying the GRF thanks to your posts, and factory has noticed the demand and adjusted its price.
