Excellent, thanks for the additional pics. You are correct in the fact that it is going to be another thick piece unfortunately that will throw off the elegant balance.Here are some additional photos ...

This thing is not even a cloned movement that has all the functions? Same as the last year release with the wrong clasp?
We don't know yet what the function are yet do we?
Can someone say what is wrong with the clasp I am not sure I see it.

It is my understanding that Patek made some years of the clasp like this and some years with the push open style clasp with side buttons not fold over clasp like this one. But this could still be considered a correct clasp based on year it was made I believe.
gen is a ugly big mac already .... so don't expect a delicate watch indeed ....

The dial color accuracy, or lack thereof, kills the watch IMO. At least 50% of any given watch is the dial, especially for Patek.
Do we know if the pushers on the left side of the case can advance the GMT hand forward and backward? Still curious about this one. I also believe the general only came in dark grey dial but not certain.
One thing is certain, there is nothing wrong with the clasp as some have stated. There are two variations of this clasp, one like the rep and one that is different and has pushers on the side to release it and not a fold over clasp to secure it. So don't worry the clasp is fine. I am more concerned with the functions and dial colour as it appears blue to me and not sure if the gen only came in the dark grey colour.

Ok I checked PureTime website and they have a dark grey dial version. I thought only based in the pictures above there was only blue dial. This is good news they have a dark grey dial but we need to know about the functions.
Gen is 12.5mm thick and rep says 14, so a possible 1.5mm difference I can agree with.
