Is this still an issue or just for the first badges? It would be pretty shitty if they still haven't fixed that since it's been out for quite some time.

Not sure how widespread the issue is from the threads I've seen it's been limited to that model. Don't think I've seen a v2 released but that doesn't mean it hasn't been updated or could just be a batch issue.

so basically the difference is that the gen is made in 2 part different colours ceramic and the rep is one piece painted black?

Wow, looks stunning! Hope mine doesn't take too long to arrive.
Can you maybe post some picture of the adjustable clasp? How is the quality?
Thanks bro,
some pics from the micro adjustment. Works fine. Quality is good. But no half link in the bracelet.

Is This a 6 Position Adjustment ? Lug width is 21 afaik , is the bracelet tapered to the clasp to 20 mm? It then may fit the 42 PO 8500 ?

No, its a 12 position adjustment.
Lug width is 21mm tapered to 18mm at the clasp.
i wish my other POs would have this micro adjustment

Great find!
Can anyone translate about the bezel construction looks like they have gone into plenty of detail.

I speak no chinese, but I think it shows all the process they went through to get a gen like effect, and that in the end they chose a full white ceramic insert and then apply black paint on it.
maybe someone who reads chinese could enlighten us.

The page confirms that it is a 100% ceramic dial (both black and white parts) and it shows that he went through five different trials before getting it right.
The first time he tried a black base ceramic with white ceramic overlay but the white was almost transparent and let the black bleed through.
The second time he went with white ceramic with black ceramic overlay but the white ceramic had poor conductivity so he couldn't get the black to transfer uniformaly.
The third time he changed the white ceramic material and tried again with only marginally better results with the black ceramic adhesion.
The fourth time he used the same material with better results but had issues with the numbers and the color tones not matching Omega gen colors.
The fifth and last time he tweaks the white and, from his perspective, he nails it with the right color tones and perfect adhesion.
He then just shows each one side by side. If you look at the last picture, he puts the first try against the final version. He points out the difficulty with getting the numbers at 6 and 18 to look right but he believes it is a perfect match to the Omega gen. He goes on to say that he only has about a 10% rejection rate during QC.
