Before I get a :banr brigged there was method to my madness. I wanted to live with a two tone 36mm 'datejust' on a jubilee before buying a peicey Franken or spending $4-5k on a gen.
I've only just had it delivered and sized the bracelet and I'm undecided at this point. I'm used to 40mm+ and it would be a lot of cash to put down on a size I didnt suit.
the myota movement is hacking but really does feel like crap to set I thought it wasn't windable at first as the crown seemed to be changing date in the first position but I engaged manual wind after a few tries.
bracelet feels ok. Pretty much like a classic rolex bracelet which feel light and cheap to me. I've had much worse rep bracelets though. On one of the end links it looks like come one has repaired it with a blowtorch I have no idea what's going on there.
hidden clasp was nice but I was kind of hoping for a fold over true to datejust. The bracelet was easy to adjust. I took out 2 links for my 7.25" wrist.
the dial and case are nice for what it is. Strong sunburst affect well aligned. They added white dots instead of lume dots though. Lume must have cost too much!
so there we have it. A cheapie $104 homage from China. It's no ARF but I've had much worse reps over the years.
I wonder if a gen tapestry would fit... inch:
