Hey guys, I was looking at Tag Heuer Aquaracer watch and I've noticed that the pearl in rep watch looks more like painted while in gen it's installed inside bezel.
I was looking at pictures though, so I can't really tell for sure but if I am right, then it's a huge noticeable flaw.

Can you confirm or deny this fact?

Which model is that? The pearl should have lume though. If it's painted, there wouldn't have any lume at all.

Yes that's the 500m version of my 300m WAN2110. In fact the pearl should be installed inside the bezel and not simply painted on, else it won't give any lume at all.
So, it's installed as in gen watch, right?

Btw, is there any point in buying Aquaracer with SW-200 movement instead of A2824?

Yes it's installed in the bezel.

SW-200 movements are of better quality than in A2824 as the later is a clone of the Swiss ETA 2824. The Sellita SW-200 is present in my WAN2110 and so is the WAK2110.

I thought the gen pearl is flat or concave, while the rep pearl is slightly raised over the bezel.
