Thanks in advance

here is my $100 quartz version. its not great I know.

Yes, but the pictures on the PureTime website show a quitte good quality for the reps

 

[Thrasher]

The puretime IMHO dosent look much better than mine the SubDials are flat, compare to genuine and look at the canon pinons compared to genuine. big holes rep

I was looking at these for a while now. There a few annoyances with the rep but the one which is almost incomprehensible to me is why are the factories so adamant on having the bottom dial connected to the 24hr cog. Just leave it faux at 12 - instant tell and looks a bit weird...

Definitively not..
The subdials aren't flat, you can check this on the video uploaded on the puretime website.
And the color of the dial is nearest the genuine than yours :/
It's my opinion :/

I got it from Sead at Supermirrors maybe 6 months ago. I'm sure The Wacko Bird Keeper (WBK, STAN THE MAN) might have one as well

I like it.

So this is with the Lemania movement and not Quartz. Overall i really like it. At the end they did not forget "professional" on this one. The subdial spacing is still off but it a really nice looking watch.

What do you think about this movement ?
I read a lot of good things on the web about this.

 

[WalkerDH]

For one reason or another one, I never had a Lemania, but as you said it should be a good movement and probably the best chrono choice in the rep world.

Clarification here...

When you see "Lemania" associated with reps, this refers not to an actual Lemania (Lemania was a historic Swiss ebauche movement manufacturer... now called Manufacture Breguet and is part of the Swatch Group) but rather a hand-wind Sea-Gull two-register chronograph movement which in turn is a Chinese copy of an old Swiss Venus movement. Yes?

I believe I have two examples of the Sea-Gull in a couple chronographs I enjoy - imperfect but wearable reps of mid-century Rolex and Patek chronographs. After service they run very well, with strong movements that keep accurate enough time. I'm quite happy with them.

But that is the case, no? "Lemania" = Sea-Gull? Please correct me if I'm wrong here.

Love to see a side by side on the difference of the color of the dial.

You are right. It is a sea-gull.

so guys i would like to buy this one. but never knew before , about lemania.

users always says to stay away from manual movements because are not so efficient.
but my second love after BPSD is this.
should i buy it? it's really close t gen, even the cristal in exalite?
because automatic has a xtal sapphire and manual movement has the "plastic glass"

anyway my father has a old moonwatch professional and for this pictures below from sead, i've seen that the caseback is perfect.

my doubt is if on the dial the three mini dial(i don't now the name) are positioned deeper than the big dial, as in the gen watch.

thanks for users want to help me

Thrasher you advice me sead and my BPSD, so i wait for your answer.
greetings
