RXWF Glashutte Spezialist Diver New Release (Comparison vs. Genuine)
- Thread starter jtimewatch

Anyone who ordered this please share thoughts / reviews on quality when you get it. Very interested and gen SW200 movement is a big selling point for me.
I gotta say, I do enjoy Rolex watches. I think there's tons of classic designs and interesting colorways. That said, this is so much more exciting to me than another factory dropping their version of a Datejust or something. I've got two gens listed for sale right now and as soon as one sells, I'm ordering the green dial. Very excited for this.

In some photos the gen looks darker navy and in others the rep looks darker navy. I understand it’s side by side and very similar conditions, but these watches clearly take light in well so it’s likely much closer than depicted. Absolutely insane how close they came on first attempt color and finishing. Not that it would particularly mean all too much given these are rare in the wild.

Did the same with identical thinking for London - our cities are absolute zoo's these days.
Looking at the photos on the website it looks like the movement is a SW200-1 (some slight differences from the original SW200). Caseback is two pieces which I assume is like gen but I don't know anything about gen caseback assembly. I don't see a caseback gasket in any of the photos but hope there is one and hope the crown gaskets are decent for waterproofing.

Isn't the numbers incorrect. Rep has metal a surrounds on numbers like the panorama. The gen just has lume sitting on a white background which makes the surround
I think you're correct about only the black stainless steel version. The gen green and blue versions have applied lume filled metal indices. The black rose gold version also has applied metal indices. The black stainless steel version is as you decribed with faux-tina lume sitting on a white background.
I'm very excited about this release. Been checking with my TD about this factory which produces the Glashutte Spezialist Diver.
The information I've been given from what is observed on the ground is that:
1. This is a relatively small factory
2. None of the dealers in the watch market has posted any further information or have the actual product for other dealers to check out yet.
potentially leading to a prolonged QC wait like what some of the members who have ordered are experiencing.
