Is that any replicate factory resolved the problem of green sapphire?

I saw there are two type of crystal in TDs i. green sapphire with green AR & ii. tinted green sapphire with green edged, which one is much preform as gen?

I'm looking for a "as close to genuine as possible, especially the green stuff" Milgauss but the linka in the posts seem to be down. Can anyone refer me to a reliable dealer with the best replica around?

omg. Ok. going to be helpful here. Start reading leito. read all you can. and then read more. go to the rolex section an read about the milgauss. Pay attention to the 21j movement not being reliable because of the large and heavy seconds hand. so choose the right movement. and finally our list of trusted dealers are listed on our site for a reason. they are all trusted. they all get the same watches. I suggest reading their reviews and choose the dealer that best suits you. and finally something that I find important and relevant is you get what you pay for. there's really cheap ones with the 21j movements, which you will see in the reviews can't move that seconds hand reliably. You may get lucky with one that does last, but it's just not powerful enough, plus it's the wrong movement. The milgauss should have a high beat movement anyway. I suggest reading about the movements too. I like having a rep that functions like the gen does, and spending an extra 50 to 100 bucks is well worth it to me to have a properly functioning watch. Good luck with everything.

So is the new JF version on Angus' site the best available rep at this time?

In the end I opted for the JF 116400gv because the dial is more gen-like than the Noob one. Above all the Rolex logo which is wrong on the Noob version (check for yourself) . What theheck at least the logo has to be well copied in a rep!
To me the Milgauss (as for many other reps) has strikingly a few flaws which could be easily fixed but cause it to fall short of being a super(or even a good) rep.
Apart from the margin of the crystal which is not coloured the main flaws to me are:
-the hour markers have "thinner" metal borders than the gen
-the rehaut engravings are pathetic both in the character style and their alignment ( in the one I have got for example the text is too close to the upper margin of the rehaut and the engraving is weak and the letters not properly aligned)
-the orange seconds hand, the most distinctive feature of the milgauss, is pathetic, the two "steps" in the bolt it represents do not have the characteristic 45° angle of the gen , which makes it overall appearance a little clumsy and an easy tell about the rep.
as I said,this is the most distincive feature of the milgauss, so this is one of the first things which should be identical to gen! period!

So in conclusion the milgauss is yet another example of a rep which could be very close to gen just with a few little fixes and a pinch of good will on the fasctory side. the fact that there is sadly no such good will IMO and I have a theory on why this is so, which I might write down sooner or later.....

I'm intrigued too. I want to get one but don't understand why these basic flaws are not fixed by the factories.

@DNA

It's nothing to do with the dealer
Any decent milgauss I've seen have all been stamped

The JF factory version for me is the best imo

Thank you very much, still not sure any milgauss is 100% accurate unfortunetly. I might go for another Rolex for now until there is a perfect rep.
Appreciate your response..
