I can’t understand why you are loling...
definitely another color (more red than on Gen).
On the Gen the word Seamaster and the second hand tip have the same color. On the VSF both colors are different.
First 2 Pictures are VSF from PureTime, 3. picture is Gen.

I don’t know man. Looks close enough to me. Depends on what TD pics you look at. I don’t really look that deeply into slight variation of colour shades on a fake watch.

Under a crystal, I think the colours of consistent for all intents are purposes.

Gen seamaster text looks slightly different shade from seconds hand tip. Same as rep.

Ok, I agree :)
I am not that picky with my reps in real world.
I believe that this should be a great watch OOTB.
More or less orange, but still a beauty ;)

Everyone has these really sharp QC pics and here I am with some potato looking polaroids :p
I accepted this one. Will take some pics next to a gen once it arrives.

It looks pretty good but the bezel insert is a fail on the finish. It’s still too shiny on the rep. The gen is very Matt is appearance in any light unfortunately.

So these clone movements are actually beating at 28000 instead of 25000? If so, Does anyone understand why the clone could not replicate the beat rate?

I think VSF could replicate the correct rate but found it unreasonable from the cost perspective. And as the clone does not have the co-axial - 25,2k bph would not add any value to the accuracy.
George Daniels explained that the lower beat is better for the accuracy of co-axial, apparently Omega found 25,2k as a optimum for the mass produced movements.

I'm wearing my gen right now and the shade of gray and shine looks pretty much the same as in PrinceWilliams's qc pic.
