Not a clone. You can see all the jewels on the largest bridge are purely decorative including the smaller gears supposedly imitating the automatic module.

Fugazi advertisement unfortunately
Yep. Balance wheel is in the correct position. But its not a clone. Upon closer inspection it seems like there is a deco plate on top. Quite visible.

So,is this V2 much of an improvement over the earlier version? It doesn’t seem like from the comments.

I wouldn't say.
The balance wheel is in the right position. No real information about what movement is under the deco plate.

We need more pics to see if the datewheel is better centered.

I agree, hopefully we’ll get some additional pictures.

Has anybody done a rose gold franken 4500v with gen dial yet?
I’m wondering which version is currently the best base? Zf or mks?

I have done a franken with ZF basewatch and gen 4500V dial. Looks amazing. Of course dial feet don’t fit to the rep caliber. When I started digging deeper into it, there was almost no chance to get any other gen parts for this beautiful watch (hands, caliber,…)
