It's nice, and the moonphase disc is very well made, even better then some gen Swiss made watch like Zenith etc.
anyways, the only problem is like what's other people said, the date windows is small look way off then the gen.
i hope the GF will have ver2 for make better date window same size as gen or close to gen.

btw, the gen one have 852 stars on moonphase disc, I wonder do rep have same stars like gen?

Nice watch!! But does the moon phase rotate every moon cycle (29.5 days)? Or every day?
I have not found a watch yet, with 1 moon cycle rotation.

It looks like its a full moon cycle (29.5 days). Could be 31 days if they swapped for a date wheel, which is fine - it's better than a 24 hr indicator. Check the vid on trusty time on the rose gold one specifically. When he presses the button the moon wheel barely advances.

the date window is too small, this flaw is too obvious, any chance they could fix that? I'm buying

So I have one on order. Looks great. I'm going to accept this one. Posting my QC pics so others can see.

Timegrapher is showing it runs slow. I can regulate it no problem. What is interesting is that this runs at 21600bph and not 28800 like the other one mentioned. I'm all for it because that's what the gen does!

Love to see a pic of the sides when you have it in hand.

Do you mind the thickness? It looks like it's as thick as some of my pams.

Hey, Majwilliams.

Looks frigging good. I'm thinking of getting the rose gold version. How does one change the strap on this guy? I'm looking at your pics and it doesnt seem to have lug screws to unscrew (lol). So mind letting me know how it's done (or if it's even possible) and whats the strap size i should be looking at. Thanks!

Nice watch but these QC pics are ridiculous. You can barely see the thing

And I say, they fix the thickness and it's a winner. Does it bother no one how ridiculous this looks?

Although it might look extra thick in pictures, in real life the watch doesn't wear that crazy thick. Maybe it's because I wear a lot of pams but it really isn't that bad om the wrist imho. But to each their own :)
