Oof. M+ is usually goo dwith these things. Also the crown guard shape is wrong on rep? Or isthat just the angle of the pictures? Seems like the FXD GMT is slightly different to the FXD case.

I think that's a lens effect. The crown guards.looks fine.

But that date window, oof.

Crown is too far towards the back of the watch, same as other rep fxds.

Incorrect hand stack which makes the dial a little thicker. The super flat dial is a cool part of the real fxd, this looks a lot more "normal" and not as special as the gen.

Crystal edges look off, not as curved as gen, cloudy gasket too.

Markers are too square, edges should be a bit rounder.

Lume color a bit too yellow.

On the plus side, it's a titanium GMT that looks cool and the lume looks spectacular. But I was hoping it would be a bit nicer.

Are we sure it is M+? I don't have any of their reps and don't know how or if they "sign" their packaging but the date wheel looks like it just wound up there because of some random movement being used and the colors suggest it was repped off pictures as many of the pictures in the main reviews made the fauxtina look far more creamy compared to people posting pics of theirs when they arrived.

I'm 95% sure it's M+.... there's no reason for another factory to pose as M+. Why not release it under their own factory name to build own brand? Plus M+ is the sole factory working on FXD stuff, chronos, diver, GMT, etc. So it checks up.

Additionally the stuff they supply looks exactly like my M+ stuff - the black travelling case.

I just chalk these issues up to movement limitation with GMT....

M+ doesn't have any tags or anything to signify their product.

Given you recognize the packaging then you are very likely correct. Not having any M+ factory watches and the photo posts didn't mention it was supposed to be M+ I questioned it given how poor the attention to detail was. In fact the first two pictures of the lume had me thinking the movement might be quartz since despite being active the seconds hand was in the exact same position between markers but later pictures proved that wrong. Just disappointed that V1 is so far off, which I didn't expect from them.

Yeah its a pass for me. Totally agree. Date wrong position and like atom said - the FXD design detail of having dial close to face is it's unique feature which is lost on this rep.
