Anyone that sees it and might ask just tell em you picked up the stainless model from an AD at a bargain price with enough left over change to get it gold platedā€¦. šŸ¤Ŗ Job done.
The bigger problem is the weight. Those 8F RG are about 100grams less than GEN. On the wrist you can't call this out. The new style plating prosess holds up very well.

so the silver dial is close enough to gen but how about the brown dial?
"Close enough" is always subjective. There is always variations between batches in gen as well as rep.
So on one comparison, you might deem the rep close enough, on other - not.
IMO brown is close enough.
GEN has a better sunburst as far as one can tell judging by photos only.

Guys I just received my franken 4500v blue dial.
I do have to say. The rep dial is nearly indistinguishable from the gen.
Even the construction is amazing. At first I was going to ask Legend if he forgot to put the gen dialā€¦ but then I saw the small imperfections my gen dial had so I knew.
Really it is the best rep dial I have ever seen and there is NO reason to buy gen. So buy the blue dial ZF with confidence. It is an AMAZING rep
