to all your questions, the previous version of the E series movement is a joke!! This is so much better but still not 100% gen like. I would rate the movement as 80%, but seriously I think they have done a great job in the movement.

As for the watch, the crystal has some distortions but so does the gen. I like the individual serial numbers on the new fiddys and also that the Cannon pin is perfect.

The case is really top notch!

For people who wants to franken a fiddy, for this watch, just pop in a gen movement and you are done!

It is good enough for me and I am not that easy to please, but this rep has really suprised me with its GEn like qualities.

this is the best i could to avoid distortions, 1% off and i would see the famed funhouse effect.

Dial, Nice correct colour 1950.
White lume.

Individual casebacks.
I would like to see the quality of the hands and the plating.

Great rep!!

BTW, i have confirmed that the case is front loading. the notch at the 10 position. you cannot remove the movement from the back
