Just got an email from INTIME that J12 44MM RG is in stock and that it's "considerably better quality", among other things. Can you AP aficionados chime in and let us noob's know what you think? Thanks.

"Close to gen" is a relative term. Truth be told I've had the 57th street for a few months now and I've only worn it once or twice. I have so many AP's that there are only a few that I rotate.
My favorite AP's are the Diver, FC Diver, Chronopassion, and my 44MM FC on GEN GP Strap...that one is just so damn sexy. Oh and of course the 44MM SS Chrono (Panda) is a killer as well.
