Longines Master Chrono Moonphase!

Hi, first post on this great forum.

I've been lurking on rep forums for quite some time now and I've finally decided that the above mentioned watch will be my first purchase. Unfortunately I haven't read a single review about it, just some short comments. It would be much appreciated if anybody could elaborate regarding the quality, write a review etc. Due to the absence of fuss about it, this could be beneficial for other potential Longines Moonphase buyers, wondering whether it's a good rep or not.

From the pictures displayed it looks fantastic, except the hands that in my eyes looks plastically and not as refined as hands on the gen.

From the pictures, they did a very good job with this one, with the exclusion of the hands? :huh:

Altough I had some bad luck on Chinese QC (the stem broke off, which is replaced by the dealer), this rep is among the most accurate ones I've ever seen. I used to own the gen and the only two flaws I see - apart from the fact that the hands are not really blued, but painted - is that the gen doesn't have AR at all and secondly the 'Swiss Made' should be half the size.

Buy yourself a strap from the Watchboys, have it completely serviced by a watchmaker and it will wear like a gen!

Thanks for your answer! I've to say, from you photos, I've would easily take it as a gen, atleast at first glance. But as previous stated, there's something missing in the hands, although they look much better from you pictures. But I assume one cant expect the same quality in a $300 rep compared to a $2000 gen.

I'm gonna pull the trigger B)
