metaljesus Posted September 20, 2010 Report Share Posted September 20, 2010 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!

metaljesus Posted September 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2010 Looks like the engravings on the movement might be wrong: Rep: Gen (I think): Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metaljesus Posted September 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2010 Also just noticed it looks like the numbers on the dial are blue! Not black. Okay thats a pretty huge flaw! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmarin.72 Posted September 20, 2010 Report Share Posted September 20, 2010 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valerian Posted September 25, 2010 Report Share Posted September 25, 2010 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. Val. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
