I don't think that its a parts issue. It is clear for sellita to not make (all) parts exactly the same, as to create aftersales for parts only availleble through sellita. What is important for probably most of us, is the fact the stem height hand size and lignes match. As en alternative for eta, ie drop in replacement.
Might help if you gave your approx. location...
There are some good guys on this board. Domi and Zigmeister have proven to be reliable options for example.
ETA 2846 is well suited for vintage rolex and cheap.
IMO i'ts silly to put rolex movement in rolex rep case (all closed backs). Even if they'd make a rolex clone, it wil come at a price, if not, with issues. Not even taking into account the dollars to maintain or service a clone rolly movement.
Ill settle for 29,5 too.
But you are right, it is plain wrong to describe a day/night indocator as moonphase.
On the majority of the resp tho , despite how its being presented/described shows from the pics wheter it is the common day night, there is always the sun beams in the display.
Define true moonphase.
There are various simple (like deriving from the day of week gear) mechanical solution to show the moonphase, however the margin of error varies from like 1/2 a day a month to one day in 122 years like the mechanism used by IWC.
The watch pictured does not have the smiley sun/moon. However most likely it is a simple mechanism.
You might want to contact WM9 directly, you wont get the extra QC check and clarks crystal, but George might take additional orders. As far as i know the supply is limited.
Yeah, TT subs are hard to get most elements right in one watch.
With swiss movement, and wrapped bracelet puretimes runs well over 300. Might is well do it right in one go and get one wrom WM9.
Well i admit, its nitpicking at its best.
BUT... best feature about this case is the +/- .50 mm higher crown position. Well... WM9 has done that, however, pushed crown inwards into the case by the same... go figure...
Maybe we are talking about different things. What Tribal means is this:

Red line is same length.
How does this look on your gen?
Sadly yes. Also the 16613 seems to have the same problem. Worst of all there is no possibility to fix this. Yes you could place the tube further outwards, put an extra O-ring, but then there wil be a gap.
