That one of the risks of this hobby , imho, one that should always be considered, and why I stick to reps that replacement movements can be sourced easily. A new seagull ST1812 is around 100$ and if you have a steady hand, can be swapped in with minimal tools. A proper font black date wheel can be swapped in at this time as well. For me this aspect of the hobby is what makes it so fun. Maybe not your cup of tea but learning how to do this stuff can save you hundreds and perhaps even thousands of dollars over the course. You could spend that money on getting a nice gen ETA that has been adjusted etc. Something to consider... & There are a lot of resources for you to take the hobby to the next level.

A brand new A2892 at taobao is 430 RMB which is about 63 USD plus shipping.

If your watchmaker can tell you which parts are damage then you can buy the parts a lot cheaper thru taobao.
Might also want to shop around for a more price friendly watchmaker.

HAMMER DOWN yeah i agree. I would def be willing to start tinkerig myself. Im very new to this so i know it will come with time. For now just want to enjoy the watches at least before they break and i have to open them up and mess them up further hahaha

Is the st1812 a better movement than the a2892 or just an alternative or is it the same thing?

It's seagull's version on the 2892a2. ( I don't know if there are different grades of a2892.. I assume there could be.. and the seagull could also be considered a a2892) ...and we really dont know the "grade" this watch uses. I say that because there is a YT vid comparison of the two, a2892 and st1812 and save for a rough edge / burr on a part the seagull was actually quite good. It looks to be compared with a bottom- rung a2892.

Am I being picky or is the date to far left in the window? I think that may just be how the v6 looks since I noticed it on some other lmpo v6 pieces as well.
Mine looks about the same in my QCpics. The crystal could be distorting the alignment
Help needed ! Is the v6 much better than v5?? Is it worth upgrading?

Use postimage.org and copy paste the forum link. You can use the preview function to check it before posting.
xartan ok here goes. https://postimg.cc/gallery/1iu8r8kfk/ let me know if they are good enough. lighting is difficult in the office now and I'm not a good photographer.

It looks like the angle of your shots is a bit from the right which would make date appear further right. Looking at https://forum.replica-watch.info/fo...-time-to-be-a-super-rep?p=7359798#post7359798 and https://forum.replica-watch.info/fo...-time-to-be-a-super-rep?p=7551499#post7551499 from merowinger it could seem like those dates are also somewhat left aligned. Here is mine again for reference. I'm not sure if it warrants a reject. I do think it looks too left aligned. The photo angle is even slightly from the right.

There's a difference. I'm not sure if it's just the lighting or how it's supposed to look.
