How much for a gen xtal? I believe it's hard to be sourced..

Hi, I don't know, I was just considering, the crystal for the normal sub ND is 200 euros

Opinions vary and if it was a cyclops model I would get it. Like this I don´think it´s worth touching it, maybe for a Prof crystal to change the looks plus a gen crown for the same price.

Also good option! I am in Europe so I will have to order a profs crystal and send it together with the watch to Zocker to install it, I would like to see sd4k with a profs crystal installed first

Recently in Rolex Forums they mentioned that Rolex has released glossy dial.. I didn't follow too much the issue as I don't really care to be honest

Dial is fine.. It's a pretty damn good rep! I can barely tell.. The easy take away from the macro pics is the cannon pin hole.
I think it's the best diver they've made in decades.
Is this a new batch 116600 or are you fooling us with a gen pic? Watch looks very crisp
In direct light, there really is no comparison between the dial finishes. And there's been no direct confirmation of the gens being produced with glossy dials yet. It's funny how people will go nuts nitpicking tiny details that no one will ever notice, but they're willing to look past one of the main distinguishing features of this particular model.
Believe me, once they get the dial finish closer, I will be first in line. Hopefully a V3 will appear soon.

This is mine......with the matte mod from Strodda...

Now THAT's what I'm talking about
I like that look. But I'll be honest.

My gen has never looked that matte.
The rep dial the way it is now is actually more accurate. I'd say 75% of the time the dial has a glossy like look. A lot deals with the crystal.
And I'm not sure I even like calling this a matte dial. It's nothing like what I'm used to seeing on vintage dials. Which I guess is why they called it Satin.
Agreed, its definitely not that matte 100% of the time, but it does look very similar to the majority of the pics you see on Rolex Forum. Reality is somewhere in between.
When comparing the rep SD4K to a rep Sub, you can see a slight difference in the dial color IF you look hard enough. However, the difference becomes quite obvious when you compare the gen SD to a gen Sub.
Most of the time it looks like this...
This is the most matte it will ever look and you really have to try...
Indeed I had a look at the AD and looks matte under fluorescent light or direct sunlight as above.. To be honest you have to be looking for it and then you will notice but who really knows the difference and would be confident to call it out except for an expert..?? The gen is an amazing piece indeed but the Noob V2 is a great rep watch, maybe V3 will get the matte finish and maybe smoother clasp and bracelet, let's wait and see
