So from bezel to bezel it's about 8.75mm



From crystal to crystal it's 9.19mm

Gen is 8.52mm according to Patek's website (but unsure if they measure from bezel or crystal hight)

Got it today! Finally!
Ordered on 6th of June from @jtimewatch.
First time ever it takes too long but we all now it’s PPF that is advertising this amazing rep without having actual stock to provide the TDs and dealers.

Just FYI I’ve seen the V1 in hands, and this is by far more gen like.

Now the watch dial:
First of all! I do NOT see that hint of purple in real life, at ALL.
Dial is imho a perfect shade of blue, as it should be, no green hint taking over.
And that was exactly what I was expecting, the purple colour for cameras is a tricky one, for example, Shmee150 has a purple 675LT and in real life it doesn’t even compare to videos he uploads.
So anyone that hasn’t pull the trigger because of this , just do it.!

The movement:
Not posting a picture as there’s already so many, to me the fact that they tried to “hide” or kinda of a “make up” on the design of the balance regulator, makes it look very gen like and not that easy to spot as rep, probably watch dealers or even ADs may have a hard time to spot without the conventional regulation arms. Obviously there’s the balance wheel as a straight tell too, but every evolution counts in this rep game imo.
Rotor noisy as f.. not as much as the 9015s but very loud for my taste. It will get silenced soon.

The bracelet:
Fells nice and well made, clasp a bit stuff but I believe it will get better with use, i honestly don’t know why Patek still using this clasp design when Aquanauts design is soo much better and im sure it can be done to the same thickness etc.

Power reserve:
Works like a charm, always amazing to have all functions, I waited a lot for this to come with the power reserve working and it was worth the wait.


The watch as whole is the best feel ootb rep I’ve ever owned, that being said. I will get my watchmaker to have a service done, and water pressure test pretty soon to check the quality of the clone movement. I’ve never bought the V1 because he advised me the movement it’s dog shit on V1s.

I’ll get more pictures when the sun comeback
Meanwhile I’m confident that this rep will not disappoint.
How do you go about silencing a noisy rotor? I would think you just have to live with it…

Love this attention to detail!

It’s a very interesting point this, because of the added thickness of the crystal can make the difference when measuring.

I think the thickness measurement on Patek’s website of 8.52mm is without the crystal. As they state it as ‘case height’, not watch thickness. That is coherent with the fact that traditionally Patek sizes were case thickness without crystal. As the the crystals before the sapphire era gave significant added thickness, without making the watch feel thick.

I’m not sure and only way to find out is to nicely ask @Heisenberg to measure his gen in the same way; with and without crystal.

Wonder if the v1 moon disc fit on the v2
I've read that the dial cuts for the moon disks are different so the appearance of v1 one would be different in the v2 watch even if the v1 disk would be a direct fit to the v2 rep. However, I haven't seen or heard a proof of that from a reliable source. Imho re-coloring the v2 disk shouldn't be a problem for the factory supplier or for a talented modder like Buff.
