One thing that makes it very easy to spot the Replica Leftie is the incorrect Hour Hand Rotation while setting the Time, on Gen it is just in the other direction, you can see in this 2 Videos what i mean ->

Videos at min 02:00min (down below there is a video)



and here the gen at min: 4:50min:


the date actually Changes in the correct direction, but Hand adjustment is wrong

@Powder157 thank you for posting this. Finally able to see that the VR3186 operation is opposite the gen 3285.

Hi,

Just ordered the following two GMTs with VR3186 from PURETIME:

As I already got a GMT with 'timebomb' movement in the past, I asked for QC picture of the movement to be sure not to pay more than 500 bucks for a watch with a movement with weak hour hand jumping mechanism. VR3186 should have a fake adjuster arm outside and the working two regulator arms should be inside, right?

It is also pictured like this on TD's product page:

Now TD sends me these QC pictures of the movements:

These movements are SA3186 with weak hour spring right?

I asked TD and he asked back to the factory if wrong movement inserted. Now got the answer: 'they confirm to us they're right VR3186 movement not SA ,latest batch are all the same like the QC one we show you'.

Has anybody heard of a new breed of VR3186 movements and should I accept these watches? PURETIME is in Biz since a very long time with good reputation. That's the reason I chose Puretime for my order

Luckily nobody is going to see you setting your time, so it's a nonissue for me.

I think the issue with this model in general is the gen is so rare, no one even knows what it's supposed to look like. Good for the rep I guess....
