Guys --
I have the gray version with the so called "incorrect date font." Literally, the only way anyone would know is if they are a rep wolf expert, or they had the gen in their hand. This is one of the best out of the box reps in existance -- not only aesthetically, but because of the gen Swiss movement. You can count on your hands how many reps actually have a gen ETA inside. The thing just feels gen -- and I know, a buddy of mine has the gen in black and I stared at them both, side by side for an hour! Holds up really well.
