I know there is already some topics abouit this watch but are old ones.

I found some dealers selling this model with 7 days working; it is true? And are there some Others defects on this model?

Thx

Sunken date wheel and subdails too small and too center. I would recommend avoiding purchase of this particular replica ;)

The power reserve indicator does work, but of course not for 7 days

Prancuzas told you the big flaws - I won't buy this rep! And keep in mind: if you are wearing a BP with working PR - gen or rep doesn't matter - the movement winds up and the PR subdial shows ...full! The BPs with faux PR show ...full! So why should you buy the wrong version with working PR?!?

higginsd, You are talking about 5002/5004 ;)

 

Let me conclude:

a) 5001 is NO NO for a rep because of the flaws mentioned in my first post.

b) 5002/5004 (Big Pilot) is more visually accurate with faux PR and not sunken DW :)

Ups, sorry! Another, very big flaw at the 5001: the pusher for date adjust at the side. Absolutely a NoGo!

This is one of those reps where I've found the photos tend to look better than the actual watch. Sad thing is, I don't see any signs of any factories planning on improving this rep.
