So my Eatrh watch turned up from Aliexpress.

The strap says mission to Neptune and the print is a bit out on the strap, the rear of the watch is different but for £28 I'm happy with it. I will put a new strap on it and where it as a daily watch.
It's a bit of a stinker! I put a link in here earlier for the DHgate cheapie that's closest to gen for £23

They just got much better. Same price from the seller. Construction of the strap is closer to gen. Pluto now has the right dial, right color case and strap.

Mercury dial is correct, grey is there and the green lume is gone. Case and strap are closer to the right color.

Dial on Venus is way better and the printing on the case is improved.

In for an updated Mercury to update my Metal moonswatch build. Thanks for posting up the new version. You did option "1" on the DHgate link right? (11 is the moon yea? - 1 is the mercury)?

The main difference to me lies in how sharp are the angles on the gen, compared to the reps. I still haven’t seen a rep which has proper sharp edges on the Lyra lugs, essentially. The moment I see one I’ll take my wallet out (again!j

Just looked these up, never heard of them before. Have you purchased a watch from them before, they have some good watches on there?

never bought one but I did see one.
Good quality for the price point, not to the level of reps and some corners cut.

But miles above the gen moonswatch case.

Just had a read up it looks like the moonswatch has a 39.8mm bezel and the pagani has a 40mm bezel. As some others have done on here you can just transfer the swatch internals into the steel case. There is a thread on here about that.

Just got my Mission to mercury in today, it’s a great little rep.

The strap looks better on the “updated” one and is the silver chapter ring gone? Otherwise I’m not seeing a big difference to mine to be fair.

The sub dials are a bit misaligned, so need to take it to bits this weekend and sort those, glue the 2 o clock one and take the chapter ring out
when you open it, care to confirm it's a VK63 inside please
