And yes, I know it is thin and it is quite riliable, but it also have Noise Issue. The problem is that most of replica thinner watch have to use it !

But is it true that there is NOT ANY OTHER affordable movement that As thin as and more reliable than the Mitoya 9015? Except the In-house one of course !

The Chinese ones are cheap and nasty. But the watches look ok, that's all that counts.

Because its cheap and tough as nails.

So is there any Premium version of it which has maintain the same thinnest but better quality/accuracy and no noise problem? I really want to update my knowledge! Thank you

You might want to look into the A2892 movement. It is slightly thinner than the Miyota 9015 and quieter.

Can it be put it/replace in the watches that are using Miyota 9015 !?

Well you could but you would need new hands, a different MVT holder and I doubt the dial feet would match up either.
Seriously, the things ain't THAT noisy!

Does the OP own a miyota movt. watch or just reading from the forum?

The miyota is about as noisy as seiko workhorse NH35 and A7750.
It is noisy when the rotor move rapidly and your ear is close to the watch.

When you wear it, at arms length you won't hear a thing. Unless you are the kind of person who likes to move your hand back and forth in a quite environment? while watching certain genre of movie?

Because people love loud raspy rotors that only wind in one direction on copies of fine Swiss multi thousand dollar watches.
Keeps them humble.

I honestly don't understand the complaints about noise with this movement...

My gen iwc3719 is more noisey than any of my miyotas.

I'm right handed, so no problem.

^ this. Any movement which has a unidirectional winding mass will be ‘noisy’ because the mass is spinning freely. That includes genuine IWC’s and Panerais using a 7750 derivative. Its also a non issue for the most part.

The Miyota is a good and reliable movement.
