Hmm Trusty says:

Size: 42mm/13mm

Gen: 44.2mm/14.9mm

I honestly prefer the rep size though...

Just saw this on WeChat:



The blurb is Chinese:

APS新品 万国葡萄牙系列万年历腕表,复刻界最复杂的腕表,所有功能同步原装,所有功能调节通过把头控制
1⃣️【功能介绍】12点日月星辰,9点钟独立小秒针和星期指针显示,6点钟月份指针,同时联动7点钟位置的年份显示,每12个月年份跳动一下,3点钟则是最经典的动力显示指针和日期显示,每一根针都是真实可用区分市面上的小厂两根针粘在一起
2⃣️【做工精细】外壳采用原版同样的三件套结构,中间拉丝,上下壳为抛光,镜面采用高成本的锅盖形蓝宝石,使其质感提升
3⃣️【机芯性能】尺寸42.2mmX14.9mm,基础机芯采用葡七基础机芯,高效稳定,动力时间长达72小时以上,加装复杂的万年历模块,而且同步原装所有功能实现同步原装通过把头调节
4⃣️【品控QC】由于万年历模块十分复杂在出货前都会调准时间,客户收到直接上链上手佩戴即可,⚠️不要轻易乱调,确实需要调节时,先把时间调到下午8点整再去调试其他功能,调试时先手动对准星期,拔出一节往上拧调节月份(12个月联动年份),往下拧三圈左右开始调节日历
APS用心做表,从细节出发x

Yeah the previous attempt at this watch had an issue where the dials were obviously clumped too close to center (like Woll Smoth) because of the movement size. I guess they got around this by making the watch itself smaller.

The thickness seems to be accurate though.

I heard from a WeChat seller that thickness is actually 15.5mm.

Not a rep fault but truncated hour markers (numerals) are an instant dealbreaker for me. 3 6 9 are omitted, but a half 12? Ewww.

Moon phase is a 24 hour indicator and the calendar only goes until 2028.

To be fair, maybe the factory making this knew that the mean-time-to-failure of the perpetual calendar module was 5 years, so there was no point in making the calendar go past 2028.

Which reminds me of the story of a memory leak software bug that was discovered in the guidance code of an American missile. Rather than fix the software, the defense contractor simply added more RAM to the guidance computer.
