Agree with @occb2 however, the dw looks 100% gen so does the insert. Dial looks gen as well.. hands are ? But based on what i see it looks like a gen and a bad taste for polishing a fine watch. @occb2 Rehaut is perfectly aligned. Why do you think hands are rep?

It is Gen Bought new from AD, by me, actually one of the first hulks in UK. I had the center links and lug tops polished, because I always find Subs a bit dull.

So watch is Gen, but owner completely stark staring mad. :LOL:

Here it is when I bought it along with LN in 2010

Man. Glad I was wrong. The hands are odzd. But I hear a lot of odd things about rolex now. The QA isnt what it use too be. They over fill lum cups, they apply sharp hands not polished. They engrave end links differently. I mean not even close too matching font or numbers. Consistency is what use to make Rolex amazing. Understood that they use too out source dials so the difference in fonts with all the MK's.

The rehaut on your is great though. That is what had me thinking at the end I might be wrong. Then I thought why would someone polish and mess up a watch. But if you like it, that is all that it is about. It is...YOUR WATCH.... and you made it special. Wear it in great health. I sported mine today all day.

Trust me when I tell you I am no Hulk fan. I really was even hesitant on getting the dial on bezel to complete my 116610LV. The real case I picked up so happen to be an LV serial number and I built it as an LN. I were that all the time. But the LV is growing on me. Dial really looks black a lot more than green. Here are a shot during the day.
