In my opinion - it is the cover of the rotor fixing screw. This element simply broke away and got under the rotor blocking it.

on this picture the cover is on the rotor:

I'm not sure but it seems to me that this element is probably glued to the rotor.

I can confirm it's glued, and it's actually two pieces, a steel "donut" and a black disc

Yes, it is - I found the second element too. However, I leave the rotor without the cover, I do not want to risk.

Hi guys, someone can explain or suggest which movement is better between: A8900 and A8500? I like the new Aqua Terra 150m but i personally prefer the data on the right side not in the bottom

They are two different watches ... the 2014 Aqua Terra has dw @3 and 8500 movement ... the newer 2017 Aqua Terra has dw @6 and 8900 movement

Thanks for the answer. I’d like to know who is more gen like watch+movement and more reliable????

They both use the 'same' newly super-clone VSF movements. Since they are new, we do not have data on reliability of the movement, but they were disassembled and inspected. The verdict is they are of high quality.

 

[topgun_88]

Cool to know!! So they got brand new movements and how about the cases? are them brand new too? I’ve seen comparison pics about the 2018 version but not so much info about the 2014 one

can someone explain what this little piece does on the rep 8900 movement? Bottom photo is GEN... Didnt PAM reps have this same flaw for a few yrs?

This is speed regulator. With this you can adjust your watches on timegrapher for maximum accuracy.

Second regulator on left is beat regulator, do not touch it if you don't have timegrapher.

Ordered my White dial both bracelets today. Along with the 43.5 VSF PO.

Cant wait to get these guys home with the VSF 43.5 GMT I already have.

Hi guys,

I'm am very tempted to pull the trigger on the V2 43.5 variant (black) on in time.

I'm new to replica watches and have spent a few hours reading this site and learnt a lot, so thanks!

A couple of questions I've struggled to find answers for.

1) What is the reliability of these clone movements like, what could I expect in terms of longevity from the movement? I know they are new, so data is sparse but any experiences of previous clone movements from VSF?

2) I'm concerned about servicing, it looks like it may be a struggle to get a cloned rep serviced? I've been advised that you should always service every rep upon receipt as it's likely to be dry/dirty?


I know they are reps and I don't expect gen quality for $370, but would like to think they would be usable for a couple of years?

 

[Alexccmeister]

I started wearing my reps the moment I received them. I don’t have the luxury of having easily accessible rep friendly watchmaker. I wouldn’t worry too much about it’s reliability. I think they are very good movement.

Just saw a nice review and comparison video on the AT: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=loegknGsxB8
Just in case someone is interested.
I've ordered the deep blue dial and just hoping it gets here soon!

Alright so I've been going back and forth with a TD regarding my QC pics. As mentioned before by another member, there is a stitching defect on the strap. Two of the stitches seem to have joined and look like one long one. Anyone else have this problem? Is it common? Should I just take it?
