Thought so too when I checked it on the JLC website. But looking everywhere else online in pics, doesn’t seem too clear if it actually does.
Anyone checked the Gen out before at and AD or maybe owns one can confirm this?
Will definitely get this eventually, just want to make sure it’s really that amazing!
Btw, there’s a video on below website for those interested

Niiiice.... Definitely putting this on my next purchase list (hoping for reviews from others first hehe)
timnic54 Congrats! PLEASE share your QC pics here once you receive them?
Thanks!!
In the video they don't show the moonphase button functionality.
They kind of do, by the fact that it doesn't advance when the hour hand advances

That's the date button on the right. The moonphase button is on the left side and they don't push it unfortunately

I don't know why ZF choose to do so, but the rotor decoration is different from the gen
GEN REP 
JLC updated the rotor 2016! ZF is correct, the new version.
Really looking forward to having this.
The movement in the Gen, the caliber 925 is a simple enough movement with date and moon. Nothing even slightly spectacular.
The only real advantage it has over the Miyota 9015 based movement in the Rep is the bi directional auto winding. Aside from that the Miyota should perform the same and be equally reliable.
Maybe some parts issues with the custom made parts for moonphase added to the original 9015.
I think it is great they have the right case thickness. And amazing to see a real moonphase at last.
However I still can't understand how JLC can keep a straight face while calling it "ultrathin" at 9 mm ! When really thin watches even with autowind go as thin as 4.3mm
Even JLCs own original ultrathin with the 849 manual wind was 4.03 mm in total .
For me 9mm is really not thin.
Not the point though.
The real point is what we seem to have here, and it does need to be confirmed by ownership, is another real NWBIG watch. A watch which truly offers no significant advantage if bought Gen
