This isn’t an actual QC pic but just my TD letting me know the watch is en route to him. Initially it looks like the dial is a bit underwhelming but I’ll withhold judgement until I get real QC pics. Fingers crossed..


So, if you scan that QR code can you go on a factory tour?

Dial looks pretty good in that first pic, which also shows the thicker date window frame quite well.

The negatives he mentions are

1) Insert isn't really genlike (beaten to death on this forum as we all know)

2) Weight (obvious)

3) Power Reserve doesn't last 70 hours even though that's the official time

4) The amount of dots on the crown is inaccurate since it's a different metal

Otherwise he thinks the dial is great from what I understand. I think at the end of the video he says he doesn't personally like the meteorite pepsi model in general but this is a good way to get one if you're into it

That’s another sign that this movement is based on the vr3235 and not the vs3235. I can’t wait for someone to post a movement tear down.

Once again, it's not based on the VR3235. I've already shared a video showing the main plate of the movement, and shows that this movement is actually a new clone based on the gen 3285. Although the movement factory is also named Shanghai, they are a different factory from the one you know as VR.

Spero che inseriscano anche il nuovo movimento nella pepsi, per me sarebbe un acquisto veloce!

QC video: https://imgur.com/a/jPyz2UK

Feels like the dial is abit too clean / bright, what are your thoughts?

Disagree. The camera is far away from the dial, you can't pick up on the details on the dial so of course it wil look too clean. And the video quality is too compressed to even be HD.

In terms of brightness, here's gen:
- looks just as bright.

Now let's look at four bilibili reviews where they actually do close ups on the dial:





Way better quality video, dial up close in each. Dial looks great IMO.

I agree you can’t see much from that QC video because it’s so damn bright in the room, all artificial light. Thanks for posting that gen video. I honestly think the dial doesn’t look too bad. The bezel on the other hand, and as KJ has pointed out, the date window, are another story. But I do thin this is the best OOTB non-modded meteorite Pepsi we currently have on the market. Will be interesting to see movement tear down if it is based on gen 3285.

Whatever it is, the movement appears to be better than what we have in the current Clean and C+ GMT

Really chuffed to see actual 3285 appearing on the market. Those new gmt instantly makes 90% of previous 3185-based builds obsolete sadly

Welp. My first set of QC pics never made it to me because my TD said the movement wasn’t good.
+1 for my TD
-1 for this new movement

Update: TD said the movement was functioning but it “lost screws to hold the movement”
