I have ordered this model for a friend of mine, but I have just realized that the source of the numbers in the bezel is different from the gen. It looks good in the big size photos of the Rolex website, the horizontal lines are narrower than the vertical lines. In the GM version they are like in BLRN.

Now I'm not sure, maybe it looks like that because of the angle. Can someone confirm whether it is okay or not?

rep gmt bezel engravings have been incorrect for years. on the gen the horizontal components of "2" and "4" are curved to follow the curvature of the bezel and rep makers have consistently missed this.

Looks nice, grats! How are the SEL's, they look a bit flush but I can't really tell.

So I had a gen DW installed, but it was an older gen that I didn't bother to check before sending it off. I'm now sending it back with this DWO this time.

After that, it's going to prof for an xtal.

It's a very nice watch for winter wear.

Wasn’t sure about this one at first, but it is growing on me. Almost afraid to ask if the sel sides are bare or colored? A gen crystal and one of BK’s overlays and you’d be really set!

Pay attention to the 9 o'clock marker if you get the GMF 904L. Some members have gotten watches with a crooked marker. Ryan's pics clearly show this, maybe a bad batch.

Is it confirmed that GMF is also BP? Just seems strange GMF TT and Full Rose Wrapped GP got released at the same time? Love the full but no way will I drop over 1000$ on a rep OOTB
