No gen bezel construction on a watch that's got a 3135 clone movement, and takes a gen dial and hands? If there's logic to this line of thinking I can't see it.

Sorry guys for the long wait. Please allow me to explain a bit for this watch:
1. I changed the status to immediate shipping on 30th August because the maker told me he could give me in 2 days. There were a lot of members asking me about availability so I thought I could change to immediate shipping while the maker promised me he can deliver in 2 days.
2. 2 days passed but watch still not available, called the maker everyday and I drive him mad and he called me out for a dinner on 6th Sept explaining the delay
3. The main issue was the date changing problem, the date sometimes not advancing completely after 0:00, it does not happen all the time but he wanted to make it perfect before releasing.
4. The movement is the first of its kind, I believe there will be more Chinese movement factories making it if this one is successful, he wants to be success so he has to be real careful and if people are complaining about this movement and he will fail.
5. The maker cannot (and not going to) sell the movement separately as he signed an agreement with the movement factory, so please do not ask me again about buying the movement only.

Some facts about the movement:
1. Its component are not interchangeable with genuine so you cannot use this movement as spare parts to your genuine 3135 movement.
2. When you adjust the time, the hands move in the same direction as the crown moves, same as genuine.
3. This movement will take gen hands and dial without modification and you can even place the movement into a gen case without any problems.
4. It is very accurate, I had the green sub with me for 3 days and it was damn accurate.
5. The delivery movement will be slightly different to the one shown on my site inside the green sub, the top plate letters will be printed more properly and you can see them through the rotor spacings.

I will keep you guys updated about the delivery of this watch.

Thank you all for your kind patience and support especially antoine52200!
Angus: Still the question remains...is the bezel assmebly gen like or "noobish" like ??

I have to agree with you on that, Rup. Now the mvt. itself seems to have potential but Angus has clearly stated "don't ask" for the mvt. alone.
I'd like to hear what DarthAlex, BK, rsh have to to say about this.....that's your que gentleman...feel free to jump in.

Grim about the bezel construction.

How do you think I feel about the SSD? They added the etched crown. Why add it? I understand messing it up if it was on the Gen. But adding it ....... that does not make sense!

The bezel assembly not being gen like has more implications that one might think. The gen bezel sits on and hugs the crystal retainer, so if it is not gen like, most likely, a gen crystal will not be something someone can add to the case. WHile I personally am happy with a decent crystal, some out there want to swap in all the gen parts they can and a gen crystal simply cant be matched. If it does not have the ability to swap in a gen crystal, bezel, insert, it is at the level of a noobimariner as far as the mods that are possible.

There's the "A" team. And grim...agreed. Not gen crsytal/insert capable...grim indeed..especially the insert. 2 steps forward, 3 steps back. A brighter side...by this time next year it will most likely be corrected.......sigh. (and I'm betting I have a pretty good idea who's going to solve all the problems.)

A Noobmariner with a $400 price tag! It's looking less appealing all the time.
