I have this watch (v1, RG, dark dial) ever since it was released, and can confirm that the PR indicator is a bit wonky. However, in my experience at least, the watch has *huge* power reserve. 65+ hours is what I measured, which confirms what they advertised. I simply ignore what the PR indicator is showing, and keep winding it for about 60 turns. It lets you wind it even though PR hand has long reached the maximum, and there's clearly some over-wind protection in place, as you can keep winding it infinitely.
After I wind it that much, the watch runs almost three full days, even though the power reserve shows that it's empty after only about 30 hours. So I think this is a problem with the power reserve indicator gearing being mismatched to what spring can actually deliver, rather than the power reserve being low. Another thing I noticed, is that power reserve indicator sometimes gets stuck half-way, but the watch always keeps running for 60+ hours regardless. In my experience, if I wear the watch, the PR indicator never gets stuck - it always reaches the end (after about 30 hours) but if I keep the watch in the box, face up, the PR indicator often gets stuck half way to empty. It seems like moving the watch around helps the PR indicator get unstuck. Other than this oddity, the watch is surprisingly well made, and I thought it was also fairly inexpensive, considering how unique it is.
In terms of looks, my only complaint is that the gold plating seems a touch too copper-y, and not enough gold-y in terms of hue. I've no idea what the gen looks like in terms of gold hue, so maybe my complaint is totally off base, but I've noticed that all the reps made in the past year or so seem to have switched to this new hue, which IMO looks less appealing than the RG hue they had before. Before, they had this rich gold hue to it, and now it's more copper-like. I've even seen the two identical ALS tourby replicas side by side, one bought in 2016, one in 2018 - the new one has this 'new' RG hue, identical to my Tradition, and it looks somehow cheaper than the older one. This annoys me enough that I've considered asking someone to re-plate the Tradition, to make it look as good as it can be. But I've no idea who to ask, or if it even can be done. If anyone here has a suggestion, I'd love to hear it.
