Blancpain Villeret Uses a 9015?

How is it possible that the villeret v2 uses a 9015? Can you retrofit a moon phase on a 9015?

My guess is that the buttons under the lugs control the day date month changes and it's not a moon phase but a day night wheel.

Ahh. So you actually set the day of week and month yourself. Got it it. That’s why it comes with a tool.

The jlc has a proper moon phase - I wonder if there will be a v3 with that movement.

actually the master moon JLC has a 9015 with working moon phase, I had the same question but seems that the miyota can accept a moon phase module

I bought a Villeret 6654 from Puretime. Puretime says the movement is actually an Asian A23J movement. Anyways, the moon phase works perfectly. In fact, everything on this watch works perfectly. It looks exactly like the gen, except for the strap.

As far as I understood, you must manually adjust date hand and day window, each day, correct ?
If that's the case, it kinda defeats the purpose. Maybe it would be fun for few day but later on it would be pain in the butt, at least for me.

I just got mine. It’s gorgeous and works. Well. Works except for the moon phase which is installed backwards. So the moon moves counterclockwise. Obviously a defect as the push buttons are opposite from the video. It’s a shame because it soo close to being perfect.

It would be interesting to know this.

I had that watch, I sold it.
Date hand and day windows advanced automatically. The huge problem with this watch was that the moon window rotates in the opposite sense compared to how it should be.

Thanks mate, good to know. Sadly it seems difficult to catch for the TDs, few people look for it
