It would be too much if it would turn around like the gen one..

Jup, although i think this is a nice attempt of copying the gen in terms of details and shape. More like a novelty rep. I think the way to set the time is via the backcase. I think there will be a button to advance the hands. (quartz)

Forgot the name of those quartz movements with no stem, but button on the back.

I wonder how difficult would it be to put a manual winder so the wtach can rotate as per gen,

Is there any more info as to who makes this watch, or where I can read up about it? While I don’t expect it to have the vast majority of the functionality of the gen, it’d be interesting to know the exact details / source.

Inside will not turn as they use a quartz movement that is operated from the caseback with a little button to move the hands. This means its fixed.

Hi, where did you get all these information from? Or maybe do you know the source of the watch? Might be interesting to get one to see how it looks in person...

Regards, Tobi

Just got quoted by Marvellous Replica that the price is $368. However, he didn’t give me any other details about the watch when I asked him.

Not bad, if it is somewhat moving(no need to be as gen) that would be amazing

Hi guys, I need your opinion:
I've seen an offer for the Astronomia at $490. Do you think that's a realistic price? Another member has written something about $368. I mean that's a difference...

Oh and for those of you who are interested: The dealer told me it's a glass case and a mechanical movement

Regards, Tobi
