Under 20 is ok I would say, and I like watches that go faster as they deviate, as some people might set their watches forward but nobody does it the other way around : )

But of course if you have one measurement with the usual face up - that does not mean it is same or better on the wrist and on the nightstand

MKS v2 with Prof crystal

Looks really nice!!!
Did anyone tried to fit an original swiss ETA (2892 or 2824) inside this MKS v2 ?

I don’t mind the miyota, I find it a sturdy workhorse. I have a mix of miyota and 2836’s and haven’t noticed a difference

This is actually the first Miyota that I own that's absolutely silent. As hard as I shake it I can't hear a thing. I am thrilled with the MKS v2

MKS v2 with Prof crystal

Very nice. How is the blue dial compared to the gen? Indistinguishable?

Dumb question but what's the diameter and thickness of this watch?

Not gonna lie, the gen has a different blue.
The gen is NEVER purple, where as the rep in certain (warm) lights CAN look a little purplish. On the other hand, under daylight it can look like the gen, 1:1.
It's difficult to describe it.. But the gen has a different tone.
I also think that the gen has slightly bolder, thicker numbers,(check out the 7 and 4).
Here two gens in a shopping window:

Here one more pic of the rep. I still love it. As always, the prof crystal makes all the difference. The gen with a prof would be a killer.

merowinger did you also buy the rep on the bracelet?

 

[merowinger]

Funny that you ask...i have a bracelet on the way.. the one with the polished mid-links. Will post pics when it arrives, in about 2 weeks.

Same inaccuracy with the Mk XVII, whereas the V6F dial had a perfect blue tone almost indistinguishable from the gen dial.

i quoted the wrong sentence, I referred to the blue tone of the dial.

Comparison stock crystal vs prof crystal:

merowinger That looks great! Is the prof crystal double-sided AR coated?

 

[merowinger]

You must be joking. Of course it's double-sided. The glass is literally invisible.
