Glad you think so, it’s the one that’s coming with my incoming Dark Knight! Although I have ordered some other straps for it too.
I have the Dark Knight too. Seldom worn but it’s somewhere in my collection.

Nice! Yours is gen though I guess?
The reason I chose it is because I want an AP with a ceramic bezel, as I already have two steel bezel ones. Ideally I would have like a dial colour other than black though, to be more different to my diver.
Yes gen. For the 26470 series they come with see through case backs and personally I’m a movement caliber guy, so gen is the only way to go for me, but also because I’m a collector of AP, Patek and Rolex watches.
If it’s only about aesthetics, and pleasure-wear, it is good enough to go with a franken. There are a few nice 26470 frankens owned by members here and those are good enough if one just to wear a nice “AP”.

My main concern is the thickness, looking forward to receiving it to see if it’s an issue for me. The black bezel should help to hide some of the thickness though hopefully.
Something I noticed on my qc pics is there’s a visible gasket between the case back and case which isn’t present on the diver. Is it also on the gen 26470?

Yes bro its a rubbergasket. And it supose to be there.
And the thicknes is a big issue. Only way is to go franken or gen. Othewise you have to learn to live with a 16.5mm hamburger on the wrist
But its a Beautiful watch buddy. Wear in good health! Skickat från min Sputnik satellit

A rep can also be modded to a 14.5mm thickness without going franken, and also, frankens can be of the correct thickness or even thinner yes T, but very far away from gens. Not in the same league at all. And gens are overpriced IMHO for what they are if you consider that like many high end luxury watches, a lot of the price paid is for brand equity and celebrity endorsements, marketing and such. The gen ROO 3126/3840 caliber isn’t the most reliable as well as a chronograph caliber.
I think this hobby of ours is enjoyed at many different levels and that a lot of frankens here are visually similar to the gens when worn on the wrist and that’s good enough for most.

In the gen the gasket is visible between the caseback and midcase but it seems to be thinner. I’m not sure as I have not compared them. The thickness can be reduced both for aesthetic accuracy and wearing comfort without going franken but for certain models, you may need to sacrifice the movement decoration and use a thinner rotor to achieve a thickness around 14.5mm.
