Seems there are two different makers, two variants by MGF, and three variants by PPF (if the info from Perfect Clones is correct).

MGF variants uses stick markers whereas PPF has Arabic numerals.
Dial design is also different.

video is up on Trustytime for the MGF variants.
personally, I prefer the PPF variant with the Arabic markers.

i am wondering, can this movement show two independent time zones simultaneously?

This is the situation, I don't know if those published on PC website are from PPF but there is for sure 5 release now, most probably all using the same movement manufacturer

Yes, you can see on the video that adjusting the time zone on the front doesn't change the time zone on the back, my guess is that you have to put the crown in time setting and adjust it in reverse to change the timezone of the back

Yes, PPF and both MGF versions are replicas of gen duoface watches.
there is also gen reverso tribute with blue face on dark blue strap that is single faced, other side is just blank case back. It looks the same as MGF blue face but it’s single sided.

Yes some of them are close to the gen :

Rep : https://www.pf-868.com/0-jlr-033-ppf...-movement.html

Gen : https://www.jaeger-lecoultre.com/eu/...l/3848420.html
Rep : https://www.pf-868.com/0-jlr-031-ppf...-movement.html

Gen : https://www.chrono24.fr/jaegerlecoul...id11397562.htm

(This is in rose gold but exist in white gold too, the only obvious difference being that there's a missing pusher on the rep compared to the gen)
Rep : https://www.trustytime02.cc/index.ph...d3659dde6f7e47

Gen : https://www.montredo.com/fr-fr/montr...hoCF_EQAvD_BwE
Rep : https://www.trustytime02.cc/index.ph...d3659dde6f7e47

Gen : https://www.jaeger-lecoultre.com/eu/...m/3988482.html

False, see above


I also uploaded the usefull youku video on youtube, because youku is the worst video sharing platform there is :


On the video you can see how the case is constructed, how to operate the two time zone (two crown position, date position for the back and time setting for the front).

I'm overall pleased with these release and will be getting one as soon as possible

Thanks for your reply my man and thanks for the info and time. Looks like i need tk do more research about this release and how they compared to gen but ppf white and black one is quiet decent attempt i guess? Same thing goes with grf blue ones too? I'm not conpletely sure on the grf but ppf one looks decent anyways we need to see hands on review to be sure i guess.

legend what do you think about it?

You're welcome, but it's MGF not GRF (could be the same fact though, we never know with our Chinese friends ;) )

I'm pretty sure there will be some difference with the gen, the first one being the thickness that we already know is off by one or two millimeters but that's with the factory data, I'll trust only measurements from a review here.

What I like is that we have options & choice, I have the previous Reverso auto with the movement visible on the other side, it's a very nice rep, but it's not close to the gen in a lot of ways.
They were only the Quartz 1931 tribute really close to the gen so it's nice to see some variety, and I really like the "snowflake" dial effect of one of these new batch.

I'll get one from my TD as soon as possible and will make sure to make a review of it before my other planned reviews

Do you have some eyesight problem or something else ?

Can't you see that beside the differences in thickness that we are used to have in reps, those two links

Rep : https://www.trustytime02.cc/index.ph...d3659dde6f7e47

Gen : https://www.jaeger-lecoultre.com/eu/...m/3988482.html

Are the same watch ?

It doesn't matter what the rep manufacturer called his release, or that there's another watch that look similar but lack one of the reversed face, the question was : does this new rep have a close gen counterpart, answer is yes

I don’t think you fully understand couple of my last posts. And there is no need to be rude!

If it's anything like RWI, they won't have good things to say about any watch!

They say good things but at the sane time they are being objective when it comes to replicas.
and they don’t have too many rude people. They seem pretty chilled.

I perfectly understood your last posts, you didn't, here's how it went :

Someone ask you if those are close to gen, you answer some yes, another not and you specify that the gen has no dual face.
I answer that yes, it has a gen counterpart and proceed to show the link

End of story, no need to make a big deal out of it, you posted a message with a valid information but not relevant to the question asked, I corrected it, the thread can continue, you didn't even had to answer my message to be honest...

Let's stop it there and continue with interesting information about those release, I have PM box if you wish to follow this discussion

There was pretty good replica of reverso tribute to 1931 quartz (no sec hand so it wasnt a big deal it was quartz). It was available through Angus.

Some TDs can still have them but not all the variation that were released it seems

This is a really interesting watch, my only gripe is the reliability of the movement seeing that it's a custom designed movement with two separate movements together.

Exactly my thoughts, we've seen some reliable custom movement lately, but who knows for this one, this won't prevent me from buying one, but I'll sure be wearing and using it with that in mind

Odd in the vid they don't show setting the time on the other side...
