Longines Master Collection Moonphase

[metaljesus]

Hi guys,

Does anyone have an opinion on the Longines Master Collection Moonphase? I'm trying to compare photos on King's site, ie ...

With photos of gens, ie ...

And I cant see any obvious flaws. Can anyone point any out?

I'm not planning on buying a rep, I'm looking at buying the real thing used and trying to make sure I end up with a gen ...

Any help is appreciated!

Crown on the rep looks a little bigger ...

Looks like the engravings on the movement might be wrong:

Rep:

Gen (I think):

Also just noticed it looks like the numbers on the dial are blue! Not black.

Okay thats a pretty huge flaw!

Just found this thread:

Dont know why it didnt turn up the first time I searched ...

From my point of view

1)Seconds hand @9' subdial is bigger on the gen

2)CP on the gen looks different

3)Metal rings that hold all the hands at all subdials and CP in place are silver on the gen

4)Blue hue from standard rep ar is visible on the rep while on gen everything is clear

Fantastic watch! Congratulations if you get the gen one! Watch out for the blue tone on the hands. Genuine blued metal is darker while rep "blued" hands are almost always too bright.
