The gen 15450 dial is white/silver and for me it’s more white than silver. Yes there are variations indeed. What I have seen myself are the silvery variant with strong sunburst, and one which is more “white/cream” than silver with a surface which is more matte. For the new dial pictured above the tapisseries look a lot more crisp and are of the correct size and shape, compared with the predecessors in the game. The color also seems more consistent with gen and I do like it myself. I don’t think the dial color is a tell but to be fair I’ve not seen it in real life so far. But without examining it in detail, and if watch is stated to be gen, it is believable for me that it indeed is, before close scrutiny of the entire watch.
Thank you for your input. It’s very insightful

I received the blue dial today, thank you Steve for fast QC and shipping. First impression is the watch is beautiful. The finishing on the bracelet is superb, and the case looks very nice. Movement winding feels great as well. I got some pictures of the dial, unfortunately its dark outside so I can't capture any sunlight photos. I took a few pictures in different lighting indoors however.
My only real complaint is the number of links on the bracelet. I went to remove links and found the watch fit perfectly without any links removed! My wrist is 7 inches(17.8 CM), so it's not huge either. If your wrist is 7 inches or above, be aware you will need extra links. Currently it's a bit tight, but I don't mind. If you like your watches loose however, you will need at least one additional link. The watch also comes with a cool keychain!

You got a nice example of the grey, my new QC came through and must have been built late Friday, and the guy was late for Beers.

I can already imagine the comment of the factory assembler when he saw that "fuc* off" 😂

Its pretty straight forward, but involves removing the rear retaining screw, but it's the fact that it got through QC in the first place that troubles me.

I don't think the watch is too small for my wrist, but damn this bracelet is tight. Anyone got an extra link they want to sell?

Thank you for sharing and good that you are happy with it!

Don't you think the dial appears to look quite much brighter than gen?

I understand lightning matthers but does it ever look as dark as gen in some occasions?

In low light it does. Looks almost black at night. Of course it's not the same as gen, it's 1% of the price so I enjoy it for what it is

Just got a message from Steve. He stated he can get extra links for 15 bucks each, but he said it might take a while for the factory to produce. I'll go ahead and order one extra link as the watch is just slightly tight.
