Apparently it's a secret and if he reveals it he'll have to hunt all of us down and whack us! :p

LOL...but ya can't really blame him. If I had a source for these and had plans to offer them, I'd be reluctant to reveal it myself.

Rehaut engraving is far too big and incorrect font, isn't it?


Yes it is but if someone knows this, they are probably inspecting it in their hands and probably find other tells.

I want to point out that the gen rehaut engraving is distinct, it is small lettering, such that you can almost fit a letter between each letter, and its a deep engraving. Only watch that comes close to looking gen is on the milgauss

I completely understand this but he needs to haul his carcass back to this thread and give a few more hints or link to a sales thread...

Gen-like and gen construction are two very different things, so I'm wondering which one it is.

I'd guess gen-like considering the fact that BK indicates his thoughts of it as a WM9 v3 case. Gen insert can be fitted but a gen retaining ring is needed for a gen bezel to go on and rotate properly.
