Who’s MK? Sorry, new around these parts
MKF(actory) is a replica maker who is specialized in Breguet dress watches, Patek nautilus and some other projects here and there (and of course focussed on the Rolex Cellini in this case)
There are various makers in the rep game. Each has his strengths and weaknesses. If you read through the different sections here in the forum you will gain more and more info about everything.
Thank you! May I ask how I order from MK? Or how I find out where a particular watch comes from? Thanks.
The factories do not sell directly to consumers. You order from a retailer - in the rep world you want to find a "Trusted Dealer". There's a whole section of RWI dedicated to TDs - you can find it off the forum homepage. In general any TD can get any watch from any factory. An order goes generally like this:What differentiates one TD from another? Well other than obvious things like responsiveness to requests and quality of packing:
- Identify the watch you want.
- Contact a TD and confirm they can get the watch from the factory (TDs don't keep no- to little- inventory).
- Send payment.
- TD receives watch from factory. Some TDs will do some initial QC checks, others will go straight to sending you pictures and maybe a video.
- You examine QC pics/videos and approve watch.
- TD ships watch to you.
- Level of QC the TD does before turning it over to you for approval. Do they notice that misaligned hour marker? That scratch on the bezel? And then request a different piece from the factory.
- Payment types accepted. Very few take standard Visa/MC/AE. Western Union, BTC, bank transfer, etc. are more commonly accepted.
- Shipping method and ability/willingness to "triangle-ship". Different courier services have different track records as to reliability, speed, and likelihood to be searched/seized by customs. "Triangle Shipping" is where the TD in China ships to a country in (generally) the EU that is safe as far as customs seizures, and then a contact in that country ships it to you (if you live in a country that has strict customs seizure policies).
Purerime upload cellini moonphase
is seems that the moon is more to the edge which looks better.

Example of what I am trying to explain with the moonphase dial rotation:
Is the one on intime the same? The PT link doesn’t work for me. I just really want this watch lol
It is. I purchased one from Andrew (because I usually do) when this watch was first announced. It was before he was able to take pictures and video and put it up on the website, but it was on the intime website at that time. I provided Andrew with that intime link just to show him exactly what I was looking for and he sold me that watch listed on the intime site at the same price. It's the RXW "Best Edition" Cellini 50535
If you are interested, I can sell you mine. My moonphase dial is not nearly as bad as the one in the picture. It's a fun watch to wear but honestly, I'm thinking of making room in my watch box to purchase that new Patek 5711 that was released.
For your reference, here are some links:

Do you know any Pateks with a working moonphase? That’s what I’m after.
Oh, I see. Unfortunately no. I don't have any Patek reps yet and honestly don't know much about them. The Cellini was my first moonphase watch.
Is their anything wrong with the Cellini? For example maybe a scratch or the movement isn’t working?

Not quote DHgate, but not MK quality either. I urge no one to buy this. Wait for MKF.
