Omega x Swatch Moonswatch Mission to Mercury

Not real though, there's no way I'm spending 20k+ on a plastic watch. Bought this replica version from Dhgate (swatch1) for around 2.6k without box. Bought it on the 9th of August and It arrived today on the 27th. There were cheaper sellers but this seller was more responsive in his chats when I enquired about traingle shipping, the rest didn't respond.

Triangle shipping (china-singapore-india) through normal china post and singapore post. Landed in Foreign Post office in bangalore but wasn't charged any customs mostly due to it being shipped again from singapore and no box. I believe India has some sort of trade agreement with singapore, never had any parcel with singapore label being charged customs.

Immediate obvious callout/flaw? The 1/10th chronograph subdial on the top right, when not in use should always be pointed up towards 10. The chinese quartz movement they're using here instead has it as a 24h clock (as of writing this it's almost midnight and it's going to be very accurate to gen once it strikes midnight lol). The chronograph works fine too with the top left dial working as well, but the movement is not accurate to gen, infact it is smoother than gen. Gen movement the tick is almost 1 tick per second (apologies if I'm botching the terms)

There were more detailed posts and comments on chinatime subreddits about the exact details of the movement with model numbers and what not but that's boring and unneccesary. If I'm not wrong there is also a date dial hidden behind the case.

The other flaws that I've personally noticed is that the case color could have been a slightly deeper gray. But I'm getting more confused as the gray color seems to be different from all the gen photos and videos I've seen. Too much post processing.

The swiss trade mark at the bottom is missing as well. The back of the watch with the mercury cover is not that accurate but far better than some of the ealier reps.

The strap is honestly garbage to wear lol, I believe anyone looking for comfort should swap it out for a rubber or nato strap. Rubber strap is from some local fasttrack service shop for 500.

Overall so far, I like the watch. I believe it should keep good time and hopefully it will last me atleast a year or two. After buying this, I don't really know how the Gen price is justified considering it really is a very light, plastic watch. The sad part is, this has gotten me one level into the watch hobby and I'm afraid of the future ahead!

Got the Mission to Jupiter after checking your post. It makes less sense to drop 25k on a plastic watch. Ordered mine from Dhgate too, received it in 15 days.
Similar to yours, the biggest flaw seen in the watch seems to be the misaligned markings on the bezel.

All 3 dials and the chronograph hand work perfectly, I was genuinely surprised when I tried this. Strap quality on mine is quite good and no real issue to be honest. Now this watch is my daily beater and considering its price I have no problems in it getting a few scratches here and there.

Mission to Jupiter is nice ngl. One person I know who has had both the retail and the copy didn't like it. He had alot to say regarding the quality of the plastic and everything else lol. I think he just wasn't happy with how a 2k copy is not that far off from the real thing which he had bought a few months back. He's not wrong but again it's a sub 2k shitter. For attention to detail like that, it's to be expected from r/reptime type of products and not r/chinatime type of shit.

Having said that it's not flawless, you mentioned all the chronographs working but the top right 1/10th subdial should be pointing straight up, right now it's working as a 24hr clock as you can see. It will not actually function as a 1/10th subdial once you try to use it. That is the most obvious flaw and has not been bothered by any of the makers to be fixed. People are buying it in the dozens without it being fixed anyways. There are some tutorials I saw on how to fix it on reddit but I don't have the links anymore and I find it unnecessary.

The back print fonts just don't look right and various other details are wrong. But it's honestly so small. It is a weird watch honestly, I remember it being extremely hyped as being a budget speedmaster when it first released in the past, and people did buy it with those very expectations. Now with time having gone by and with more people knowing the reviews and the actual quality they're getting for their 20k, I've only seen enthusiasts talking or buying retail of it. For the average consumers it just isn't worth it as it is not durable enough to last for more than 2 years even. Maybe the limited edtion snoopy or moonphase retails are something I might consider if I ever have enough money to maintain a collection.
Only thing I don't like with my mercury is how the color is extremely off compared to the real mercury moonswatch. Got a bad unit I suppose. However I've been wearing it daily and aside from the entire bezel falling off by my wrist hitting the wall lmao (and glueing it back together), it's still holds good time.

Anyhow, for a DHgate watch, it's decent. Wanted to see if there was a GM2100 copy too but there doesn't seem to be a good one so I'll save up for retail for that in the future lol.

Ah! A member of r/chinatime, recognised it when you said the word shitter, lol.
I am never buying a legit moonswatch, hell even if it comes down to 15k. Might as well just pick up a seiko 5 with a little more.
I have some idea about sellers on dhgate for gm2100.
