My gf's dad saw the gen and immediately fell in love with it. He knows i'm into reps so he asked me whether this model had a rep out already. I told him it's not even close to the gen, but nevertheless he asked me to get one for him.
I got the cheapie 21j version for around 130 bucks. He wanted the black bezel/dial combo with orange markers
This is the gen for reference:
Here's the rep:
Immediately you can notice that the bezel color is off. The gen is a glossy black with silver-ish markers. On the rep, its more like a matte black/grey. Hands are thicker on the gen. The date window is more to the right on the gen. Pearl and crown looks wrong as well. The orange on the rep is darker, more red-orange compared to the brighter orange on the gen. The GMT text is also printed on the rep.

Text on the clasp is wrong. On the gen, i think the text on the clasp is just "omega", nothing else. The particular one we got also has a crappy clasp which almost always opens itself every time after you lock it, which is why I took it out and stuck a nato on it.

As for the case size, the gen is 43.5mm. On the TD websites, they all state that it's 45mm. I don't have a caliper to measure it properly, but I lined it up beside a Sinn U1 (44mm) and a noob Sub-C (which is supposed to be 40mm i think) and it doesn't look too big.
Kinda disappointed with how it turned out, I think the gen is a great looking watch, and hopefully they can fix the issues.
