PAM153,
I can honestly say and i own a quite a few GEN AP's , that even with Gens the AR and Dial colors looks different , ive got a Gen Safari same year as my mates and my dial looks a tad darker than his , and his looks like his AR is crap, whilst i respect AP and am a massive Fan of theirs, i do see anomolys in Gen's it just not possible that any GEn factory can get a watch 100% identical.
Id just get it serviced and AR and leave it at that........
