I wondered the same thing, and some of them turn so slowly that it took a lot of time and comparing pictures to figure it out. Basically the large one on the left hand side is right at the back and as far as I can tell is just for show to make it match the gen a little better, but ALL the others function and either connect the tourbillon to the mainspring barrel, or are the winding and hand setting gears!!

According to this photo, the large gear that you guys are talking about is not link to any other gear, so it wont move.
any thoughts after a couple days of wear?
Puretime and trusty just released new rose gold version of rm052
Looks like it comes with a travel pouch too, bit jealous, I didn’t get one of those with my RM027.
DC
both the real thing and the rep looks like a toy, lmao
Wait till you see one in person, it will change your mind!!
This thing looks and feels expensive!!
DC
Hi DC I recall you saying the rm001 looks expensive namely owning to the polished bevelling. I know you've answered a similar question about which is best. If you don't mind, out of the two, which does your above statement "looks and feels expensive" ring true of the most please?
It’s pretty close, but I’d say the RM027 feels more expensive (which is good coz it was more expensive lol). But if I could only have one I’d have the RM001... I just prefer it, can’t explain why, just personal taste. But I’m glad I don’t have to pick one and I can have them both as I do love them both!

Surprised there hasn't been more love for the 052. There are numerous videos on Chinese YouTube clones showing this watch in detail.

Don't be put off by the fact that the watches being showed in the videos look a bit rough in places, as I understand it they are prototypes or from test production batches and are subject to all kinds of tinkering. Here are actual QC pics, and everything looks great

This obviously isn't the most accurate rep ever (although overall it is a pretty faithful reproduction of the gen) but it is easily the highest quality rep (of any watch) on the market at present. The work on the tourbillon is particularly impressive.
