About 7-10 days.

Sounds about right for Ken :)
Btw, what you said about the porcelain describes the ceramic bezel on the White Ghost perfectly. It has that shine to it in certain lightings. Are you considering keeping it like that or matting it?

When a gen is already over 16mm thick, I honestly don't think an extra 1.5mm will feel significantly different on the wrist.

Gen is big but that 2mm more make the watch like having a brick on your wrist...

I'm leaving it, the watch looks amazing out of the box and no one will ever see the gen in the wild or know the difference unless you travel to Dubai. I can't tell from the gen photos anyways how different the case is. Photos are very deceiving for all gens and makes. One would have to go to a store and study the gen in person in their hand to be certain after wearing and studying the rep for a while, anyone on here who thinks they know the watch so good can't be taken seriously if they are going by photos. Thickness I could care less about, the gens most likely to be seen by anyone in the wild are Rolex, Patek, a few AP's here and there, not RM, when is the last time anyone saw an RM in the wild?

The only thing I would consider doing is the crystal, but the gen has a blue tint to it, so have to see if that can be done first. It's just a fun watch to wear to take time off from AP's, but definitely super high quality.

I really highly doubt anyone will ever get that close to notice

The mods I’m doing to all 3

Matte case
AR
Paint rotor same as gen
Paint all gold on dial (between 12 and 1 and under the 3 o clock subdial)
Waterproof
Thin case
Oil rotor
Smaller bezel screws (he will make the width/diameter smaller ????)

It will look great when done

I swear other than smaller bezel screws (which will be done by profsteve) and the FM missing I don’t see any difference

And yes the 9 o clock subdial is wrong but nobody will
Notice because the gen is rare rare rare rare

Super rare

I’ve never seen an RM in the wild. And I’m well travelled

It’s a very good rep

600$ vs 150k

With my mods

1500$ vs 150k

Good value

With the matte case it will be great
