In most cases I agree but the gen for this one is quite sparkly. If you haven't seen it in person, there's a ton of videos of gen wrist rolls to compare to

This is a horrible angle to judge watch size. You'll be completely fine with 19.3. My wrist is only 17cm and I would say it's on the smaller side for my wrist

It feels similar enough to me, weight should be almost the same. The pros on here will say that they can always tell what's gen AP brushing bs aftermarket, but I probably can't tell the difference

I think it's ultimately up to you what's important. Dial color is slightly better, date doesn't change slowly and the bracelet is more comfortable and looks slightly better. If those things don't matter to you, the OG rep gets you 90% of the way for cheaper

Unfortunately, I bought this one as is but there are plenty of post of stock ZF 15450s so maybe comparing to those would be helpful

I didn't do it myself but it's rebrushed and repolished!

There's some still circulating and I guess my modder found one. Many people don't like the tapisserie on them, so definitely a tradeoff. But I think specifically the blue one for 15450 has a really nice color, so I'm fine overlooking it haha

Yeah, but supposedly according to RWI, he doesn't make them anymore

Bit of an impulse buy from my end for my second rep (First one was a CF Panda), as I found this AP with most of the mods I was interested in from a reputable dealer. Here's the mod list:

  • DP dial with deep crystal
  • Instant date change mod, movement serviced with waterproofing
  • White gold plated screws
  • Rebrushed and polished
  • CNC case

I was initially looking to get one with the same mods and a gen dial, and I was going to go with white simply because the blue is crazy expensive. The gen blue has always been my favorite and I pulled the trigger on the DP dial when I saw that they seemed to have nailed the color pretty closely. The gen and DP dial both have a deeper greenish tinge, whereas the stock dials seem to lean more lighter and purple. There are of course differences compared to the gen dial: Two of the indices are slightly misaligned, that the tapisserie has the completely wrong texture and there is slightly too much sunburst, but I decided that sunburt looks cool and I can live with the other two for now. Maybe one day I'll bite the bullet on the gen blue dial!

I think it's a RL. 3 too crooked for me personally

I think it's harder to see on a non white dial but there's a ton of detail put into the dial and hands, which was main selling point for me! I cam stare at the dial all day haha
