A little update on that watch : I had the mid case welded on all the pusher side to totally modify the shape and make it 100% accurate against gen. Narrow and deep pusher entry as per the first series of 6238. So far, I haven't seen reps with that feature. If you file down a DW case to make it tonneau shaped, you'll end up with no pusher sittings.... I'll post pics once the watch is ready !!!

Here are some pics of the newly released Noob DSSD compared to Gen DSSD. The gen one has the Mark 1 dial which is the same dial used in all DSSD reps so far. I am not really good with words so I will let the pictures do the talking. Just for a rough guideline. On the gen, the date is set on 14, and on the rep, the date is set on 2. The crown on the rep is pointing at 5 0'clock. and the gen is pointing at 3 o'clock. DIAL Rep (Left) vs Gen (Right): rep: gen: rep: gen: rep: gen: rep: gen: Based on my observation (having to be very anal),, here is the difference between the rep and gen: -Pearl is smaller on the rep. The gen fills the whole triangle while the rep (mine) has some gaps to the triangle (and not centered) -OGEV text is very slightly thinner on the rep. The text is flat on both. -Font on the dial is slightly different, but only noticeable on macro shots. HE VALVE Rep (Left) vs Gen (Right): Rep (Top) vs Gen (Bottom): Base on my observation: The gen He Valve is sunken while the rep is almost flat. The inner ring is also more defined on the gen. Position of the He Valve is almost the same SEL FITMENT gen: rep: Base on my observation: The End Link on the gen is more sticking out compred to rep BRACELET & CLASP gen: rep: gen: rep: Rep (Left) vs Gen (Right): -edited- rep: gen: Based on my observation: -The bracelet in general is almost similiar. The gen has more satin look to it and better brushing. -The clasp is where the huge differences show. The black paint on the gen is evident. -The crown on the gen is slimmer and taller compared to rep. CROWN & CG SHAPE Rep (Top) vs Gen (Bottom) Added: (CG Shape) Top (Rep) vs Gen (bottom): Rep (Left) vs Gen (right) Rep (Left) vs Gen (right) Based on my obervation, the rep is almost spot on with the gen. Can't really notice any difference except the arch on the gen is slightly more pronounced CASEBACK Rep: Gen: Based on my observation, the rep looks spot on. LUME Rep (Left) vs Gen (Right) The gen has brighter lume and more "blue" to it. But the one on the rep is superlumed already. Overall, I think the rep is very close to gen. The only thing that can be used to identify the rep comparing side by side (if you already know the gen vs rep comparison) will be the end link/sel fitment on the gen is more protruding. And the paint on the clasp is kind of bad on the rep. The insert is still different from the gen but it is much better than the older version. This one has a slight platinum color to it but still too white compared to gen. The bezel turn is more pronounced on the gen but the rep isn't too far off. A huge improvement to the older version. I owned a BK DSSD and a pbdad/BK DSSD beofre, but the quality can't match the gen. So I bought the gen one. This latest version is pretty close to the gen, which makes me seriously consider selling the gen. Having said that, if there are some areas you want me to cover, please do ask before I sell the gen. Hope this review helps. Thanks

I'm in Las Vegas and came across Le Petit Prince IW377706 at an AD. Wow! What a stunner! So I made a slo-mo video so you guys can see the beauty of this dial. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sgqRvb0_IJM Would be nice to get this rep'd.

Uhm, looks like you don't know how the rep world works There are no dealers selecting movements. Dealers do NOT build the watches. They just sell them. They send their "agents" to Guangzhou markets to find out the best pieces and/or are in relationship with the Factories where the watches are done. Guangzhou market:

Quick wrist shot from yesterday. Good example of how the bezel colour varies depending on how light reflects on it. Edit: can't make it rotate here on the phone. You'll have to tilt your head
