Great looking homage watches. But that’s a lot of dosh for a Miyota 8215 movement.

May I also add a grain of salt.
Have you looked at how the lume is applied on the dials. It looks quite artificial like being printed and not done by hand.

The lume has very sharp and rectangular border, like a solder pad in microelectronics.
Hand applied looks more smeared out and uneven.

I like these but at 39mm just a pinch small. I wish they were 40-42mm.

Weren’t the gen bubblebacks units 32mm-34mm? wondering if the crown is a screw-down type like the gen. Any idea on this?

The interweb shows their other homage models having screw-down crowns though and they have a fairly good reputation.
