Even if slightly thicker, it’s still a fantastic looking rep. And they added the “xxxx/1500” numbered run this time on case back—this was missing in the original version. Now I have to get one.

OK - so these P9010 clones are actually real clones? Reason why I'm asking is because these are closed caseback. A 7750 based movement would be easy to service by any watch smith. Real clones parts/service might be an issue.

I understand the situation in such a way that in the model with solid caseback with p.9010 in gen, they put the clone p.9000, marked as p.9010, so that the functions correspond to gen. In the model with a glass caseback, they put p.9010 which is a7750 with a decorative plate, there are no gen functions, but the appearance is as close as possible.

This clone movement is pretty stable so far. Still, I’d want a 7750 here.

The gen date change function is nice but a pain—the date change is like a GMT, you have to cycle the hour hand twice to change the date once. It’s nice to have gen functions, but I agree it’s a closed case back and a simple proven 7750 would do nicely here.

Glad to have a good 44mm Carbotech again :)

If that's so I might be interested. I can't stand a watch with a date but no quick set like the 9010. I won't but any new subs because of that - it's a pet peeve.

Had mine a while now, I'll admit I didn't get the wow factor from it straight away, but the more I see it/wear it the more I really like it!
It really is nicely put together and agree, strap is very good for a rep!
