So I was literally looking it over for the last time before placing the order and I realize that the moonphase besides being non-functional (only day/night indicator - which Ian perfectly fine and expected) also has a flaw that I’d consider MAJOR (and that TDs pictures go great lenths to hide): one side hasn’t the common round disk, which usually represents the moon and is here meant to represent the sun, but the other widen has an actual drawn crescent moon. Am I seeing things??

Err do you have links or pics to better describe this? I looked at a couple TD links but I don't quite get it.

I’m sorry guys I’m still on mobile (which I hope explains my terrible spelling) but I will when I get home. You can see the crescent, well hidden under the 24h hand, in the pictures in which the watch is set at around 10 o clock at night. It’s pretty horrendous if you ask me.

Its not a different model. It’s the latest MKF

transteamApOffshore You can see very clearly in this picture: https://www.ts-station.cn/u_file/180...1ec34a55b3.jpg

Naturally every TD has the same issue here. Except 99% of the pictures hide 99% of the crescent. This for instance: https://puretime.io/media/catalog/pr...8072802-02.jpg or this: https://puretime.io/media/catalog/pr...8072801-05.jpg

If you notice, the crescent gets right under the 24h hand at 10pm.

So it's supposed to be a full moon, some stars, and a sun? And all it will show is the same stars and crescent moon? The 2.4.6...hand works? I guess I'm not familiar enough with gen to understand. But this is the watch of the stars lately, literally.

Oh I see it!! Thanks for the pics. Yes, it does look like a drawn crescent instead of the full moon, which would be a major flaw.

Every night (since the bosom moonphase is actually a day/night indicator) the flaw on the dial would be visible.

Completely agree. That's why I had to skip this. Other than that, it looks like an amazing watch to me. Maybe someone would be able to swap the moon phase disk.

That's sad, I wanted to order one too. Prolly have to skip now =(

Swapping the moonphase disk is of course, uncertain.
