greg_r 79 Posted December 11, 2015 Not really a full review as this watch has been covered by others, but this just in from our good friends at Marvellous Replica. Quality of finish is as good as I've seen on a rep. It feels gen-like and really looks the part.Will be interesting to see how the patina develops. My only slight gripe is the strap, which is fairly decent and looks very similar to the gen - but I'm not sure it really suits the watch. I'm thinking that something darker might look better. If you're tempted by this one, don't hesitate. It's a great watch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

myaz 3 Posted December 11, 2015 What's not to like? Great presence and likely, a great lume. I can see where a darker brown could complement it better once it gains patina. Something about the concept of bronze screams for browns. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Waipio Jeff 0 Posted December 25, 2015 Advertised as a 23\22 strap. Have not measured mine yet. Greg are you sure you got the correct darker strap with yours? My QC pics initially showed the tan strap and I had to remind Tim to change it for the correct darker strap. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stu7sinc 0 Posted May 6, 2016 I have both the bronze and the blue dial version. Both are firm favorites. The band on the blue dial looks great but doesn't feel great. It's something I will likely upgrade in the future. I have found the band on the bronze to be really nice compared to other rep bands. Here are some pictures of the two.

raptor1 0 Posted May 22, 2016 What movement it has? Miyota 9015? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stu7sinc 0 Posted May 23, 2016 Bronze is Miyota 9015 and the blue dial version is A2824. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
raptor1 0 Posted May 23, 2016 Which one is more reliable? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Moriarty 1 Posted May 25, 2020 How are these holding up? Would love to see some pics of how the patina has developed over time. My understanding is that the Miyota 9015 movements are typically not as reliable and often noisier than an A2824. Did these "bronze" ones all use the same movement? What's the best way to specify this particular version to a TD? Were these V6 Factory? Has anyone seen any newer improved version since these? Thanks!

BadApple 13,079 Posted May 25, 2020 Doubt if the bronze Miyota versions still available - only steel like V6/XF I had delivered last week........ it's one hell of a watch.

They are totally comparable. For precision and other things (i.e. the 2824 reversing wheels sometimes get stuck and need a clean) I prefer Miyota. The "noise" is just a matter of putting a micro amount of oil in the counterweight ball bearing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
