I don't know what you've been looking at but to me this is definitely engraving:



The rep rotor has the engraving which looks accurate, but all of the other smaller writting is printed. It is clearly visible under 300% zoom lol
Not worth giving a singe fuck imo, what we need is more info about a performance of this half-clone.

Probably would be good to see a modder breaks down the new movement and comment on reliability - just like with the new 3714 movement @6

i am sure the MK factory is so dead.
in the video talk aboit the VSF try to take all the market from MK, that's why they come out the 300m first and almost same price as MK. Btw. In then ends he been talk about the RM Skelton tourbillon will come out this fall, or next year. And is very nice movement, I guess he is talk about ZF one?

What might be the reason why MKF is working on the update of CrSMP.

No timegrapher can give you definite answer about watch behaviour.
You have to test it in several positions for certain amount of time and regulate accordingly.

A 5 second timograph is just a joke.

The watch is not mandotary to touch left side. That base It just a mic. Once device hears the beat is enough.
Because not all mics are spring loaded

The dial is still an issue ... the Gen markers are filled with lime - the rep uses a sandwich construction which isn’t correct.

Gen uses the same cut-out/sandwich construction as the rep, have a look here:

This watch really looks great. I hope the movement is found to be reliable.

The dial s still missing the grainy texture per the gen
also lumes look exactly like v2.5, the edges are not as rounded as gen and lumes look half filled in

i ll wait for reviews round before pulling the trigger on this one lol

As far as I have seen on the gen .. it is NOT a sandwich type dial ... even though the lume is applied in an excellent clean matter it can be distinguished from a sandwich dial. Anybody care to clear up the confusion?
