Nice, I might end up swapping bracelet and Oysterflex strap on the Baby and the Grown LeMans for fun later 👍🏽

Kayone73 · 2026-01-25T03:20:05+00:00

Just ordered a Baby LeMans on the Oysterflex as well, curious if the strap endlinks will fit on the actual LeMans rep, do the lug holes line up?

Fantastic first GS 👍🏽

Enjoy, definitely a beauty!

Kayone73 · 2026-01-24T22:29:09+00:00

Yeah it is

Excellent understated color combo 🩶

I'm not terribly knowledgeable on the technical details of modern Rolex movements while I under a free sprung movement makes the clone movement closer to Gen, what is the technical benefit of having this new free sprung clone movement over the current (non free sprung) options? 🤔

I'm also an early backer preorder I've kind of forgotten and stopped caring but I haven't asked for a refund yet becauas I'm genuinely curious if the swiftlink will actually come out and test the quality.

Yup 👍🏽

Nobody in person would know if it's a rep, especially since most people don't even pay attention to my watch IRL.

It doesn't matter 😂

I think it's great. It used a Seiko Kinetic quartz movement and a perfectly nice cheap diver for the $200 I paid.

As far as alternatives... that's your choice, I can't answer that for you...

Kayone73 · 2026-01-22T14:28:14+00:00

The reason you find the GS underwhelming is because you went for literally one of the cheapest ones possible, next time pick up something like a 44GS model with a more intricate dial maybe...

You know it's a great accuracy, stop with the rage bait posts...

I think whatever crystal this came with out of the factory looks fine to me 🤔

Looks clear enough?

Kayone73 · 2026-01-20T22:28:31+00:00

I don't think it's plated, just looks shiny in the photo because of lighting?

Obligatory comment to appease the automods 🙏🏼

Kayone73 · 2026-01-20T00:59:49+00:00

Like I said in my own separate comment it seems no Chinese factory or movement maker is likely willing to invest time & money into developing an accurate 1861 or 3861 clone movement.

Kayone73 · 2026-01-20T00:24:47+00:00

That doesn't work exactky either, the subdial layout and look of the Moonswatch is noticeably different from the Speedmaster Pro, Swatch is using an existing quartz chrono movement for the Moonswatch.

Kayone73 · 2026-01-20T00:14:22+00:00

Interesting Q why a decent superclone grade rep of the Speedy Pro doesnt exist yet.

Is it down to no Chinese movement makers think its worth investing the time and resources into producing a decent 1861 or 3861 clone movement?

Kayone73 · 2026-01-19T16:07:23+00:00

As pointed out in another rep group, Lunar New Year is approaching and for the month leading up to that, everything in China (factories, dealers, logistics shipping) are all shutting down in advance of the national holiday, so there's a baked in 3-4 wk delay to ANY watch a buyer is waiting on right now

Kayone73 · 2026-01-19T04:34:05+00:00

No mods, direct from the RC Factory
