cg is pretty refined and crown is pretty sharp. Despite a little bit longer than gen crown, I don't see any issue. The little extra length is probably the only "obvious tell" visually. But I doubt if even most gen owners can spot this.
Looks like I am the first to receive this baby! Few initial observations:
1. The blue is a bit darker than I expected, but miles better than PPF's.
2. Bracelet and clasps are very clean and pretty well made in rep world. Also quite tight, could use some break in. Same thing happened to my JF AP RO, got smoother after few months, so no worry there.
3. Movement looks pretty shiny and well made. Micro-rotor spins well. To 99.9% of people they wouldn't know this is a rep movement.
4. Threw in a gen for wristshot comparison, comfort wise it's nowhere near gen (like most of us expected). But for the money this is the one that you can't miss.
Does the moonphase work at all?
Yes the moonphase move 1-click around midnight. Everything works except the power reserve.

I'm not sure if this was questioned about earlier, but is this gonna be a manual winder or is that spinny spinny micro rotor in the back actually functional.

The micro-motor works well without making huge noise like the PPF's.

How is the colour in real life? On your first picture it looks a lot more blue and less grey/green. Does that reflect the real life colours or is it just the lighting?

I ordered mine from puretime when it first came out. Are they going to be able to ship? I e-mailed puretime sales but haven't heard back.
I read on one of the threads that some of the TDs have gone quiet, alongside several of the factories, because of the raids, so it may be that you wont be getting any replies for a few days. Maybe you'll be unaffected, but just have to wait and see unfortunately.

I'm having a panic attack myself....I bought the watch on 04/01/2021 from puretime.
so how is that PR working....i know its not really a functional item but i'm seeing it in different positions in the pics.
I believe it was the white balance being inaccurate on my phone. Few hours into the morning here and the dial color stays dark blue. This baby is awesome under daylight. A week earlier there's no way I would believe this is a rep!

Think of it as GMT. My dealer told me that GREEN factory put a lot of effort to make it moves rather than a fixed fake PR.

Another tell that I just spotted, the center pin is gold color, PPF's have smaller hole (as per gen) and don't have this issue.
