The markers are not all perfectly alligned but that's not that big of a deal for me.
As a hobbyist watchmaker for years I've repaired and serviced a couple of swiss and asian tourbillons in the past, so that doesn't scare me that much.
Minute repeaters are more scary ;)

Very positive about it's stability.
I've set it on Monday morning and currently it's 4 seconds fast.
At night it's placed crown down.

Only thing i've done is greased the gaskets and oiled the roter bearing so it's not that noisy anymore, further than that it seems a very clean movement.
Quality is on par with the 5001 clone movements in my opinion.

but does it look like the gen? i'm not sure how the gen looks or whether there are some obvious deviations. i dont really mind the +- seconds fast\slow ;)
never wear my watches constantly\several days, so i wouldnt even notice that...
