@Roughwatch definitely post pics and your thoughts when you get it. Also very interested. Steve has this one listed on his site but it’s 12.5mm so I’d like to see which is correct.

Sorry for the delay, it arrived last week and is easily the best attempt of this watch so far. With the exception of the loud rotor (the gen is noisy too) it’s very good. They even got the clasp the same where you screw in the bottom of the pin into a hollowed out main pin.
The right hand date changes sideways which does create a slight indent but it’s not too noticeable. Mine looks fine in single digits and anything in the 20s, but between 10-20 it’sa little misaligned. I can live with that anyway as this won’t get lots of wrist time being a dress watch.
Date goes to 34 then changes back to 1.
Overall, worth the price for something that’s very close. I’ve paid more for reps that have huge flaws in comparison.
It’s a correct moonphase and adjusted from the indented pusher on the side of the watch.
A real working moonphase as in the gen, not just a day/night indicator, as some others are?
Wonderful- thanks for posting this.
When time permits, would you get a close-up shot of the date window? Would love to see how close the two date wheels are interacting.
Will do, the second digit is more sunken but it’s only noticeable up very close. I’ll post a photo later when I get home.
What a Watch, and what a Rep, the Gen has 22 k Gold Rotor ....
It seems really really WELL Replicated !
@Yacht-Monster thanks for sharing your thought, how frequent have you been wearing it since you received it? and any issue after these few months?
I don’t wear it much as I’m more of a jeans kind of guy but it’s been great each time I’ve worn it. The miyota rattle is annoying but that’s the same with all watches with this movement. Otherwise the moonphase function is fine and it’s a great watch.

Been seriously considering this watch... one thing I'd love to ask of you is to show the big date jumping over. I haven't found a single video of this feature anywhere, even on Chinese dealers webpages.
I think we can upload videos here, I’ll take one tomorrow and post it.
Hi all, posting this here but mods, feel free to remove it. After wearing this watch for a total of one time, I’m going to list it later today. On the rare occasion I wear a suit it hasn’t been first in line.
Only posting here as it’s not available anymore from my understanding.

Nah, if you check my review pics I mention that I rarely dress formally so it was never going to get time. My JLC that I just sold was my suit watch but I’ve worn a suit three times in the last 18 months.
I was going to list it long ago but the blue hands kept me from selling it.
