Pics show 950PT on the bracelet for platinum reference but in the video it shows 750.

the weight of the Platona for my weedy 7" wrists was too much when I tried one on anyway. So this one is perfect then "most" of the looks "some" of the weight......at a fraction of the price!!!!! where do I sign up (y)

Great video. I don't speak Chinese, but I used Google to translate the subtitles. It seems like the main issues are:
  1. The case is the right shape / profile.
  2. The case marking should be 950PT not Pt950 (I'm not sure about this, I've seen Gens on Chrono24 with so many variations of the PT950 mark)
  3. The dial is not blue enough.
  4. The clasp has the wrong code engraved into it. It should be PT950 not 750.
  5. The diamond markers don't "flash" and some of them seem to have black stuff underneath the markers.
Does someone who is a native Chinese speaker want to correct my Google translation?

Native here, you got everything right.

Some add up is that I saw some other review says the clasp is correct, not sure which one is the final product.

The diamond should be using the cheapest Zircon, typical BTF.

Thanks for translating. Question though, what magic did you use to google translate the subtitles hardcoded into the video?

Play the video on a computer, when the subtitles appear/change hit the spacebar to pause the video. Then use the google translate app on your phone and select to translate from camera. Point the camera at the screen. Read subtitle. Hit space to continue video until the next subtitle change.

Elegant? No. Functional? Yes.

I think the dial will be hard to get similar to gen, even when new versions come out. Like a hulk gen dial vs current ZF rep- except on crystal meth for this one :) That blue is something else

Definitely looking a tad light and washed out on the version with baguette markers. I’m guessing they based the final colour off online pictures unfortunately.

I was wondering if it was just me where the baguette dial is washed out compared to the standard dial. Thought it may just be lighting but yeah, very weird.

What is incorrect about the hands on the non-diamond version? I'm looking at side by side and my smooth brain isn't seeing a difference?
