Came today - I’m very happy with it. Needs an upgraded strap of course. Some shots in the sun - dial is pretty dynamic

Wow! Looks terrific!

Can you tell us, does the Moonphase work or is it a day/night indicator?

Very nice indeed, I was going for the brown/RG but your pictures make me doubt now…

Got any links to show that? 4th pusher is between the lugs I believe.

Yea I’d like to see a 2019-18 pic :)

Also, since nobody answered my question before, I’ll reiterate it here:

Is the Moonphase functional like the JLC rep or is it day/nite?

I've just ordered this one in rosegold with white dial, along with a new PPF 5726 without sunken date. We will see then if they both have functional moon phase

Hi, you're right. 4th pusher between lugs, maybe for moon phase.

i found these on chrono:

Can you elaborate on that? In what way did the quality disappoint? I have handled one also and it is difficult to find flaw with in my opinion. The style may not appeal to everyone but I am astonished you could find fault with the workmanship.

First of all, i asked boutique in order to try both steel and rose gold versions. Both are too light, for the steel one, i thought it was like aluminium, unstable. For the rose gold one, it was also too light for rose gold. The feeling was like either the case is too thin to be heavy or it was just SS gold plated. I have some gens rose gold JLC, Rolex and 2 white gold Pateks at home so i know how heavy and solid the SS and rosegold should be.

Then the second problem is with movement: gen does NOT have the perpetual calender, we all muss set the dates and moonphase each month. It was actually my fault to missunderstand full calender with perpetual calender...it was on the VC website Lol. Accord to the SA, i will pay like 43k€ for a rose gold watch, which i dont feel any solid at all and have to set the time each month LoL. With 43k€ i would rather buy a gen Patek 5205R which is more beautiful, solid and has The perpetual Calender, which i only need to push the date once at the end of Feb each year TvT

Third problem is the straps: they look like immitate leather to me. Feel really cheap on my hands...

Just my humble opinion on the gens, and please forgive my words...I was only trying to describe how dissapointed i was when trying these gens...

Lastly, beside of the 4th pusher on the left, i would never complaint anything about this rep from ZF. They did a great work on this one, may be better :)
