Surprised they did such a simple dress watch...that no one was asking for. Haha

Very good first impression, dial looks good, date is centered (fonts are probably too thick), the b. wheel should be at 6, but the decorated movement doesn't look bad.

Why plexi?

From the gens that I've seen online I think this is a very decent first (and only?) crack. Can't imagine they'd be many out there 'in the wild' to get called out with.

On the downside the movement is stutterier than George VI on gingo biloba and why oh why use a plexi crystal? Do we know what factory this is from?

I think this could be a good dress watch option.

Are we sure it's plexi and not sapphire? Bit of a deal breaker for me

Does there seem to be considerable distance between date wheel and dial?

wow this is a real beauty, have been looking for a dress watch and this is just the ticket! But that plexi, is keeping me away, I can be a bit rough on my watches. Factory fixes this Im sure sales will improve

I like this, if only it was a touch smaller though!

A very interesting dress watch, I'm tempted to order...

In the end, the printing on the dial and the date window might point out easily that it's a rep when an experienced watch connoisseur takes a look at it:

The inscriptions on the gen watch are only printed, while the rep has them embossed. Even the small minute markers between 5, 10, 15,... are embossed, while they are simple printed dashes within the gen.
The date window of the rep has a nice little frame around it, while this frame is missing in the gen: it's simply a hole in the dial there.

Ironically, this could be the first replica which is manufactured nicer than the gen piece :D

This is a nice watch. Is it possible to replace the plexi once a sapphire glass is available?

I am so tempted by this also, Im pretty certain Im going to end up buying it.

My only dilema is that if there ever is a V2 and its sapphire ill be pissed!

Perfect Clones, a TD over at RWG, has them with sapphire glass at a slightly higher price using a decorated Miyota 8205 automatic movement (rotor removed)

Update: Toro also carries this version.

Cheers for the heads up. Could be my next order [emoji1]
