Well, 

I grabbed one from the Gate, Fashionwatch198 Store for $27 and it was definitely worth $10 of the $27 so just a PSA, use the store @NCRich used.

This one looks the part from a mile away but OMG, I've bought better watches from the bargain bin of a $1 thrift store. The pushers have no click and they wobble. I knew it was plastic and light so that didnt surprise me but I didnt expect to be able to pull the crown and adjust the hands just by swinging the watch around because the movement is so loose. Geez. Actually makes it hard to truly set the time.

The least the couldve done was set the 3 oclock chrono in the 12 position, instead of having it permanently around 4-5. This watch from this seller is a piece of junk along with the cardboard case. The original is cardboard but this is Chinese cardboard. On drop of water and the whole thing will dissolve. They took the watch that was in a plastic bag and shoved it down into the cardboard box crushing the entire innards.  I would post a pic of it but it might break my camera.

For $250, I think I'll try to find the real thing for the wife when we are NYC  in a couple of weeks.

@NCRich  .. ..  these look fabulous . .. . ..  a marvelous article,   . .  . also, thanks for the link   .. .. .   looking forward to reading more on comparisons in your topic  .. .  are these fully functioning chronos? :D

The one I grabbed has a Sunon PE50 movement. The subdial at 2 is not 1/10 sec like the gen which, I believe is an ETA (dah) G10.212 AP or G10.212 AJ. Either there is a phantom datewheel or (more likely) this complication has been removed.

Funnily enough, I just ordered one of these at the weekend from the same seller... if it's anything like the moon watch you've received, I'll be a happy man :) 

Still patiently waiting on my moon version arriving, 14 days since shipped :Whistle:

Ordered Saturn from the same seller, not close to the correct colour, definitely not the same as the one you received.

Good Old Gate!

I’ll add, I’ve ordered Moon & Earth also, so I’m keenly awaiting seeing whatever turns up there…

I gave Mercury to my dau and Uranus to a friend who feeds our cat when we are away. Both absolutely delighted. Neither gives a toss that the dials are wrong and the battery door is false. As much joy as you can spread for a mere $20 a pop. Give me these over a $1000 Daytona rep any day.

Just arrived. Got to say I'm pretty happy with them. All a good laugh when playing with the gate. Let me know what you think.

@saleev those look like mine.  Great for the $

I hate to say it but I actually love these watches. Its weird.  I hope they make better reps of the 2 or 3 that the dials are bad on.

@NCRich Yeah I used the link you provided. There is something strangely addictive about them! Ordered on the 18th of Feb so happy with the speed of delivery also.

I ordered from the same seller before you posted this thread, mine just arrived today, do yours sweep when you activate the chrono as well?

@Devil Indeed, I think I may find it hard to resist completing the set

Wore mine yesterday and swiftly got over the dial being the wrong colour. I’m now awaiting 5 more……  

Great find @NCRich

So my Ali express Neptune having arrived, I have now ordered 3 more (pink, tiffany, grey)from[mention=10171]NCRich[/mention] 's link to watches_77 in the hope that they are better quality than the Ali (recessed sub-dials for a start)

With coupons etc. They worked out at just £22 each including shipping.

I already have another 2 (Saturn and Moon) on the way from shop watch1712 on DHGate as I missed this thread.

If the watches_77 ones are better then I'll re-order the blue.

I also notice that the gold second hand moonwatch is now emerging. So will wait on that and complete the set. That will fit a 12 slot watchbox very nicely...46272b1328452895a9deee6e826e6fca.jpg

Walk away from the gate....!

 

So I have now added a gold edition moon..with a box (just out of interest)...little bit more expensive but i liked the fact that this shops item photos were taken on a counter and backs appear embossed...if that's any kind of a guide

 

I will report back in a few weeks...!

 

The positive news is that my wife loved the blue one so we are cleared for the set if these turn out to be better quality!

So my first DHGate order arrived today...

Not[mention=10171]NCRich[/mention] shop as I hadn't discovered this thread then...

 

Both in boxes (which was a suprise) although moon was missing its sleeve. Immediate step up in build quality from my Ali Neptune with recessed dials, a firmer movement and embossed backs and battery cover. Unfortunately, though, the Saturn planet print was rings only...

 

With these both feeling much lighter I also realised that my blue Ali one appears bigger and is coated steel - not plastic - hence printed back not embossed. Gives it a nicer weight though...swings and roundabouts!

Comparison with Ali rep

Updates to follow...these are definitely fun. It will be interesting to see if an 'best' edition emerges at some point...I assume no clone exists of the quartz movement in the gen.

Probably no clone, but the gen is an inexpensive movement too.  Its just a different inexpensive movement.  It's around $30 retail for the gen movement.  I'm sure its less than half that if your bought quantity.

Ok…if gen position stays stupid I’m sure we will see some emerge with the gen movement. I’m really impressed with these for money.
