    Great video, very accurate analysis. In my 4.5 years in the game as a watch collector and enthusiast, I collected a lot from MAMACOO I was thinking I was able to get a blue SD but I'm not vip enough, but I'm not giving up. Hehe. Great video.

    James had similar issues as you did I believe. Definitely a clomage if a Christopher Ward moonglow. I personally find it a little strange that they went with CW as a company to “homage” since for the most part they are attainable luxury time pieces. Def had a nice sweeping motion on the seconds hand which is nice to see.
    In order to properly test the moon phase you would need to set it at full moon and manually wind it 28 days to the next full moon and see, and or set to full moon (when it is a full moon our) and compare it one week later and two weeks later to see.
    As always great and honest review. Welly Merck will no longer be on dial once the ones they have in stock are out and gone they will just have the wm logo on it as they have rebranded their name based on feedback. Thanks for the honest review

    It's representing the 28-day cycle of the moon (actually 29.5 days). The jerk every 24 hours is the movement of one day. For a ton, that's a pretty good representation.
    I'm a big fan of MP's - Glycine Combat MP, RW Maestro MP, and IWC Portofino MP. I was never that fussed about the CW MP which this fromages, though its a good looker.

    • @WatchtheTime
      @WatchtheTime  Месяц назад +3

      I get that mate and I understand the ‘jerk’ but for me having 2 moons is completely unnecessary 👍👍

    • @catsteeth
      @catsteeth Месяц назад +2

      @WatchtheTime Yeah, that is an odd one. A lot of the high-end stuff does it, as I'm sure you know. I believe it might be something to do with the way the moon is viewed from the Northan or the Southern hemisphere. But I can't wrap my head around it. However, those ones have the second moon partially viewable, where this WM puts it under glass 👍

  • @BAF605
    @BAF605 Месяц назад +4

    It is showing moon phase but these cheapo moonphase movements tend to rotate in a 28 day cycle which means the display will need synching more often. For the price it's hard to complain, though others have commented a Sugess moonphase performs better. For me this is an example of a cheap copy that doesn't really compare with the watch it's aping. I believe the moonphase on that one keeps in synch for well over a hundred years. I can't imagine it running so long without a service though. 😂

      When the moon reaches the new moon phase it is at the 3 o’clock position. To start the waxing phase the moon needs to be at the 9 o’clock position. New moon lasts less than 24 hours. The moon would have speed around the dial to emerge at the 9 o'clock position. One moon disappears and the waxing moon appears.
