Oh, ok I thought you meant he declined because it was a rep. I agree shortening the lugs is no joke..

Hey, we’re talking about replica watch. Sure you can go for double so expensive phong case and put another 500 bucks for dial, hands and movement. But I think to fix the lug length is almost the same work as reshape the lugs on silix 6538 case. I mean if you‘d like to play with it you can achieve everything you want.

13:00 hour lume dot is not missing on the bezel of the one Hor-Fan received ... so it's just a question of checking the QC Pics before accepting the watch to ne shipped.
About the lugs ... they could be too long but there is enough steel to shorten them a little without risking to get the lugholes to close to the lug ends ... all you need need is some diamond files, multiple grade sanding paper, a good caliper and patience.

And what about spring bars? At the pic on the first page it looks like there are thick spring bars installed but here thin are installed and Eva from customer service mentioned, that no thick can be accepted.

Sounds like the cartel reps. They need to lugs drilled out before they can accept gen spec spring bars.

There is a version with Swiss ETA 2836 for near 700$ and looks like they updated the dial but not sure about that.

The asian clone version is $350 cheaper. For the $350 difference you can buy a brand new Swiss ETA 2824 Top Grade and get it installed. I would definitely pass on that alleged swiss ETA (there is lots of literature in this forum explaining that these alleged genuine ETA movements are usually old recycled movements, with parts mixed from different ones, etc).

Oh its good to know what about dial it looks better or maybe its my eyes. What would be decent option buying 350 vintage watch and buying vietnan gilt dial + New or Serviced ETA 2836 or hand built one im planning to go for leather bracelet just to ignore the SELs

I might be wrong but I don't think the 2836 would fit as is. And you'd probably have to buy new hands and a new stem. Not worth the investment I think.

These are not SELs
I know
and when you compare it to the genuine or vietnam build you can see slight gap on SELs thst cartel case is gonna be pain in the ass i think.

Hang on, so swapping an asian 2836 clone for a swiss ETA 2836 would not work? Are you really sure? We are talking about the same movement, literally...
Afaik the 2836 GMT is an Asian mod so a "Swiss movement" will be a standard swiss ETA 2836 with a Chinese GMT mod installed.
That said Asian vs Swiss is a direct swap meaning hands will fit, you just need to check the size of your GMT hand hole as it can be either 1.8 or 2.0 mm.
