I've been a bit surprised that I haven't seen more of this watch on the forum. This arrived a couple weeks ago, but it's been waiting for the package that arrived from Italy today with a couple straps from Simona.
Overall I'm very pleased with the rep. I've been lucky enough to have the gen on my wrist and it compares very favorably. While we know that the weight is different than a genuine composite version and the movement will never match, a flaw on this rep is the recessed CP. While it shows up dramatically in close up photos on the wrist it is a non-issue for me. The hands are fairly clean cut though as on almost all reps the edges could be cleaner. They are still much better than those on my noob 127. The case and bezel are very nicely finished with a matte micro-blasted texture. Coloring is an excellent approximation of the genuine composite, as is the lume color. Lume is very good IMHO. Overall a very satisfying rep, and my first Radiomir, I could not pass up a 47mm composite with tobacco dial!
The strap from Simona really completes the package with the coloring picking up not only the case but the lume color, and of course the material and workmanship are beautiful.
