Which Is the Best option now? (more like-gen and less flaws)

V7 unit
M+F unit

I have read there Is available a V7 unit with A2892 mov, ínstead of ETA mov.

Thanks in advance

Would be eager to hear this too based on people’s experiences.

Has anyone bought this V7F model with black dial? (IW327009)

I don’t see it in some TD websites.

I read there is an updated v2 version of the black one fixing some flaws. Maybe it’s out of stock.

Thanks

I found these pics of the V7F black dial.

Thoughts? Opinions? Flaws?

In my opinion it’s very nice

Noted on my list. It has all the points of being a superrep or very close!

I found these pics in a thread from last May.

It seems the V7 version was updated with a second batch last May. But I don’t find it in TD websites.

Ive seen it in TSWATCH website, but it’s not a TD here:

https://www.ts-station.cn/mobile/goods.php?ProId=26081

There are 2 movement options. With A2892 it has a good price ($328). With Swiss ETA is very expensive.

It looks very nice, but the 12, 3, 6, 9 markers (by the pics) are not 3D like Gen.

In my opinion, M+F version is very nice too, but more expensive.

Cheers

Agreed M+F is too dear for a simple watch with no ss bracelet.
Please keep us posted if you get QC pics from dealer for this V7 version. Please check if the external bezel is polished. It should be polished only for the LPP XVIII.

I saw it at my friend's place and the case back the little prince is not so good, I think that's centerpiece of this watch

Anyone has any thoughts on black version? As close to gen as Le Petit Prince? This watch looks stunning

So, V7F has no reluctance charging US$600 for their replica, despite its serious shortcomings.

Why should this maker's flawed rep command so much more money than another maker's flawed rep?

$600 for this? Its probably not even a real ETA. I would buy this if it was offered on bracelet with a Miyota 9015 - they need to seriously reduce the price. $300-$350 max for this watch.

Repworld First of all thanks for starting this thread and giving the comparison pics and videos.

What do you mean by 'They have only Gen Blue '? I understand that the gen black dial also is available with a bracelet.
