Awesome bro, looks great!
No appreciable difference between gen and rep dials.
The biggest difference is on the gen dial the lower step of the edge profile is unpainted, same as the gen 126334 dial. This would make it easier to ID a rep dial, if that step is painted.
A couple of other things I noticed are the gen fonts look slightly bolder throughout, particularly the SIBMARINER text. And the coronet is better looking on the gen - there's more body to it (spires are shorter), and the oval opening has a better shape. The bottom right foot serif on the rep ROLEX 'X' is cut off. These thing would be hard to spot on the rep unless next to a gen and under a loupe.

You have a very sharp eye. Here are some clearer photos showing the text details on the VSF vs gen dials.
It takes it but that plate can only be used with a datejust dial and datejust datewheel.
It won't work on sub dials and datewheel
Hey guys, sweet details!
Has anyone serviced the mainspring yet? Can the barrel complete/mainspring be swapped for a swiss?
Yes. Direct swap with a gen mainspring and barrel. Runtime tested to 71.5 hours. I also have other gen parts installed.
Great stuff, thanks for confirming good sir.
I have one on the bench with very low amplitude and wanted to see what are my options in terms of the mainspring
Amplitude is not high on these vs movements. My VS3235 measured 258° at full wind and a my gen 3230 movement measured 291° at full wind. What’s your running?
