Wonder if the moon goes clockwise or counter-clockwise

I would like to know this too. I read the moon goes in the wrong direction. Not sure if that is for V1 and what the difference is with V2:

the complication is the same as the last version, but since it is an actual moon phase it barely moves when it is on your wrist, so I don't think it would matter much.

I just noticed that the IV is displayed as IIII. But that seems normal in most watches and clock's

Thanks. Yes if you think about that, it would not really matter.

I don’t agree. The thing goes backwards everyday. You set it once and it isn’t correct for another 28 days. To set it you have to click 28 times, which isn’t easy. It would be better if it wasn’t on a drive gear but simply advanced in the correct direction when you advanced the pusher.

I believe they have glued the moon face on a part of the drive gear. With the current movement there is no other way to have a moving / working real moon face. So it is not perfect but to me acceptable. Other than that is seems a very good replica. As I do not use the same watch every day, I always have to adjust calenders on watches.....

This watch looks incredible, but I'm really OCD about the moon phase. Damnit!
