I'll pass due to the thickness. The Gen has a 12.5 thickness which is like a Rolex Daytona, and this is 14mm so it's going to feel thick like an Omega. Just a personal preference thing.

I saw these pop up on intime, thickness I could manage personally. My question is, is there a dial variant (in genuine) that doesn't "swiss made"?

According to Intime.
"The functions of the two buttons on the left are faux. The chronograph of this watch is working properly but the function of the fourth hand is also faux. Additionally, the date must be manually adjusted by 24 hours to advance it. There is no quick date set function."

And the functions are listed as hours, minutes, sub-seconds, date display and chronograph.

Meaning that not only does it have an incorrect running seconds where the chronograph min marker is. The pushers don't work, the gmt hand is stuck at 2 o'clock, the day/night windows are faux. Not to mention not an easy way to set the date. Definitely an avoid for me.

Yeah, if all of that is true via InTime, it's a hard pass for me, too.

Clasp is not correct, should have the 2 pushers.
First link appears to be too slim (!) for this model. Seems that they used the 5711/5712 bracelet.

I really do wish there was a clone movement of the 5990 but I don't think it will ever happen

It's a pass for me. Too far off the mark unfortunately.

Wrong clasp and the blue looks gray to me.

At least they finally started making the 5990.

Can't wait till they have a cloned movement and all functioning features =D

I dont buy 7750.
Don’t buy Chinese 7750
Nothing wrong with a Swiss 7750 👌🏻


This watch it’s a gmt flyback chrono
What’s the point in having it all wrong without the correct functions ?

I agree with the blue looking too grey, shame as this could be a serious REP

fact is they started making it, so at least there's hope that the factories are now on it to making a super clone version with the correct stuff
I disagree. The only reason we saw a 5712 with a super clone movement was bc so many people bought the V1 which did not have a functional power reserve. If I run a factory and I see people buying my watch I’ll consider putting in the effort to clone the movement and draw in a larger audience. If nobody shows interest, why spend the money to improve the product?

I’d think the 5990 would be very popular
