They did a good job to replicate something orange based on pictures without owning the gen, lol.

I don’t want to sound arrogant but I just don’t understand many of the member negative comments. Have you actually seen the gen dial color in hand? I am sure many have seen the pics of the gen and videos. Seeing only pics of the gen and then commenting about the accuracy of the rep dial color is not an apples to apples comparison. I am not saying that this rep color is accurate but we need to have actual gen to rep comparison (which will be very difficult given gen is rare).

Until then, enjoy (or not) the “unique” rep color.

since we cant really judge the dial althought it looks good enough for most, the only flaws (small ones) in my eyes are
1) slightly green hour markers
2) audemars piguet print too thick
3) date sunken on rep
4) obviously white gold case
ordering one <3

sorry havent read the whole article in case i repeat others

I prefer this over the ST as the blue dial on the 15202ST just looks flat and lifeless to me. The blue dial on the 15400 and 15450 look much better imo, with the stronger sunburst effect, slightly more vibrant blue and larger guilloche, but the 15202 case just has much better proportions than the 154XX line. The salmon 15202 dial just looks much more lively from the few videos I've seen. I personally don't find it any less wearable either, I love the natural tone of the gen. If the rep looks anywhere near as good and isn't that lemon yellow a few of the pictures show I'll be happy with it. The natural light photos trusty posted look great, but the video looks over-saturated and more yellow than honey. All we can do is wait and thank the folks that are diving in and guinea-pigging this watch.

If you take my comment as negative you're wrong, i repeat, they did a good job replicating the color based on pictures :)
But TDs pics was atrocious, that video is the best exemple of the dial we can see, anyway it's a rep, and this version will never get perfect matching color, so... wear what you like.

Well said but the rep game is "wear what you like".

We can say the same with guys pulling RMs and others tourbillon watches.

If the guy love the model he will wear it, that's the benefits to wear rep, if your goal is to pass as a rich guy make sure to correctly make your choice of brand and model and to have the lifestyle and car/house that follow. Lol
