I would like to propose merging the two identically named threads or at least renaming one of them, as it is getting difficult to tell them about. Just food for thought

Id also like to know if the power reserve is actually works. I read that it jumps a day? so you get 1 / 3 / 5 / 7?

I dont think it jumps. It has 5 days PR. So when it shows 7 in reality it would just be 5 and countdown from 5. No jumping.

It is just me of the dial is way different from gen?

1. The sub-dials don't seem to have the same depth and the concentric lines;
2. The black lines on the main dial and sub-dial look very thick;
3. The numerals look more flatish.

I won't comment on the colours of the gold and texture of the dial as the rep photos are poor.

Can we all be a bit more precise, please ... comments like these won´t help anyone:

"... hands are not like gen"

"...dial looks weird"

"...crown is wrong"

"... correct the 4"

We should be able to specify what exactly is the fault compared to the gen. That should help the factory to correct.

I spoke with a td who recommended waiting for the ZF release within a couple months (giving an end of October estimation)...

I think it's better to just wait for ZF version. So far it does look promising. No harm in waiting. lol

Finally, I have been waiting for them to recreate this beauty. This is a true gentleman's watch. Kudos to the dingdong factory for this fine reproduction. Was going to get a pam but will wait to see variations of this watch and reviews. Thanks again

Update:

After testing 1 day, this movement should have 2 and half to 3 days power reserve instead of the advertised 5 days. The PR needles drop linearly instead of jumping. So essentially the 7 would mean 3 etc etc.

How many turns (winding) from 0 PR to 7? I think maybe not max out yet winding when indicator shown at 7 days. Or maybe need some time to burn in the movement to get 5 days. Pls report back when you have few more test, much appreciated and thank you.

I am perfectly fine with 2.5-3 days of power reserve.
My main concern is the reliability of the movement and availability of spare parts.
