WoW. Arrived home from work tonight to a DHL box. Well worth the wait. What a beaut. Having tried on the gen on 3 occasions, this is seriously on the money.

All good mate. Great power reserve. And keeps superb time. Very few marks, but been on every day after work, so better than expected. Took a fine abrasive pad to some "sharp spots" on the clasp and bezel edge. Feels much nicer now. More refined.
Can't recommended this one highly enough. [emoji106][emoji106]

... And now mine is sticking :( I noticed that I was losing time all day. In the evening I finally understood why - the minute hand is getting stuck at the 8 minute mark until it gets an tap or bump.

I've emailed Ryan to ask how we should proceed.

(Looking at this now, I realise it looks like the impact was very hard. It was actually a very soft tap on the knee)

Touch wood, and fingers xrossed, I've had no issues at all. But in the past, when there's been any with my purchases with Ryan, he's been happy to repair or replace.

How's the watch bud ? Is it sorted yet ?
Did this start happening all of a sudden?
I am looking at ordering one of these soon from Ryan.


The actual watch build is fantastic, I couldn't be happier. The movement was pretty much damaged right out of the box, maybe it happened it transit, who knows. My previous rep from Ryan (AP ROO) is perfect and has had zero issues, so this is just a fluke. Someone has to be the one in a million, so I guess this time it is me.

Ryan offered to replace it no questions asked, but I preferred to go a different route. I'm replacing the movement with a Swiss ETA instead ( you can follow along here - https://forum.replica-watch.info/vb...ting-down-the-minutes!?p=2496663#post-2496663 ) and having a WP done too.

All in all, while I was a little miffed about getting a busted movement, these things happen, even with gens. The watch is beautiful, construction is impeccable and I am happy. Honestly, I could have had a local smith service it for a few dollars, but I decided to have some fun with it.

If I was you, I would make the purchase. The dealers are trusted for a reason.
