Rep:
Another gen pic:
This rep looks very good to me, I definitely like this version more than current 243. Hopefully it will be priced reasonably
Anyway, leaving aside comments regarding the colour of indices, which are useless due to the different color settings of the two pics also considering in any case tritium dials may develop patina differently with time, here are my observations:
Rep dial looks very very good. Inscriptions are slightly thinner, but font and placement look good to me. Indices are great raised, glossy and rounded (sausage) lume, clearly visible outer ring on 12 and 6.
Bezel looks good, maybe the chamfer is more evident on the gen, bezel pips and 15-30-45 markers are ok except the font is clearly thicker on the rep.
Pearl's outer ring looks too fat and lumed part looks too small.
CG looks good as well, but I'm not completely satisfied about the inner cutouts and the lever tip. This last one especially looks a bit too skinny and too long though this could be due to the different angle the pics were taken. CG pin needs to be taken care of, it has to be more recessed, flatter, and with a slight chamfering.
Crown is very good.
REG. T.M. engravings look a bit taller in rep, placement is ok.
Hands are pretty much spot on imho. CP needs flattening and polishing.
I can't wait to see if there will be further improvements before the final release, anyway this rep looks great as it is now already!
