Yes, saw that too.

It's a bit thicker than the gen like you mention which I think you could get away with, 9mm is still fairly thin. Open case back also reveals rep movement.

What worries me more is the shape and size of the hands. On the rep the minute hand is too fat and too short, the hour hand has the about right size, just too fat also. It think it robs some of the elegance of the watch.

Still a heck of nice watch.

This looks quite nice but they should replicate 1815 with correct spacing in the logo and accurate shape of hour numerals on the dial. I woudn’t mind miyota if 1815 were correct size.

Hi there. Please excuse my ignorance as I'm brand-new to the forum. This is the exact rep I'm looking for, could any one recommend a Trusted Dealer or site? Thank in advance! 1.0.0.19

Mary said it was available back in April or so. Any TD should be able to source it for you however. Welcome to the forum!

Just created a new post, regarding the hands. Trying to find after market, or originals to swap out for the reps.

I have one, beautiful watch. But I am still posting on the forum for anyone who could source the gen hands. Unfortunately no one I have contacted seems able to or willing to order them. Also no response from the forum regarding a source. But I will keep looking until I track them down.

Going to be close to impossible to get gen hands, and if so would cost an insane amount. Only parts I’ve seen in my years of searching are buckled and straps.

BOj Thanks. That may be why I keep coming up with empty. The hands are distinctively shaped, quite uncommon, so I cannot even substitute a similar gen hand from another watch which would be close. But I will keep looking. Thanks.

Wow, this is a beauty. 6mm vs 9mm isn't too bad I guess. Would be nice to shave it down a little more but can't complain.
