Its the wrong bezel, like i wrote earlier in this thread it seems like they using 2 different ones. One has the screws in the middle the other one is the fucked up one with wrong bezel shape seems like you got that one also the bracelet looks a little bit rough? Look at the up position seems like they forgot to brush the inner part of the bracelet where the bracelet is connected to the case.

I don’t buy this that you are actually able to establish immediately that the factory is using different bezels. It will take at least 20 different QC pics from different people to be able to determine that fact.

I think the brushing issue you mentioned is just due to the lighting and angle of the shot. I attached the rest of the pictures I got and there you can see it seems to be brushed like the rest of the case. Unless I misunderstood you and you meant something else.

Maybe not 20 examples to determine a certain trend but i have to agree with you that his statements are more than vague rather than the absolute reality.

I get the fact that these are for promotional purposes - but did these suckers really think it isn't obvious that they put the rep dial on the gen movement?

the video comparison was much more honest in this sense.

Has a gen dial had less than 9 bumps per square? I think I remember reading there being differences in tapisserie, but if it is indeed forgery of the dial, that's super not cool on a comparison picture series

a new style gen dial has about 7-9 lines per square depending on how you count them.

the dial with the gen hands is definitive a XF dial and not gen.

there are several comparisons of this style with wrong information. Repworld posted a lot of them in the past - i guess they are made by some dealers to boost their sales.

doesn‘t look like XF‘s advertising...

I appreciate the heads up.

Those photos were going to make me order one due to the dial differences alone (being that there weren't any). Much appreciated, even though I still might order it haha.

Where I need to be.

Each time we get a new release, you will get "expert opinions" from people who have never even seen the gen or rep in person, mostly condemning and expressing severe reprobation of the release.
Such guys need to be re-directed to the nearest boutique where they can order their gen 15202 and whine about the wait time instead lol.
This XF watch, no matter how you dissect it, is a reasonable and even good rep of the AP 15202 for its price.

the video that was shared regarding the XF vs GEN was impressive enough for me and more honest - aware of the differences - let‘s embrace this watch for what it is

You are right, again.
In some cases it is better to say nothing rather than trying to figure out a possible regularity without further verification from authorities (if that is even a term in the rep world lol).

But you know what is more likely to be seen in the boutiques these days? Some delicious Code 11:59 to educate the youth hehe
