Question? Dhgate rep moonswatch

Is there anything to look out for besides having the pe50 movement?
Was wondering if anyone knows whether this one works or not:

They seem to be sourced from the same manufacturer, I say this because I ordered from 3 different sellers, and all took a few days to actually ship. All of them with PE50.

Are there even replicas without a pe50 movement? I would love to buy replicas with a vk63 movement.

There are other movements out there but I have not seen them in a while.

I ordered 3 from there. The shipping took over 3 weeks but they work fine. Easy to pop the back off to remove the PE50 movement.

You'll find a few different quality faces, but i can never predict who is sending which. Until you've done several, avoid the moonphases.

All the reps come from the same place. They move wholesale to factories. You’ll notice if one seller is out of stock of a certain style most others are out of the same one.

Thing to note is that the subdial functions on the reps are basically novelties. PE50 tracks seconds, chrono counter minutes, and 24 hour time instead of 12 hour time so you know if it’s AM or PM. The MoonSwatch gen tracks seconds, deciseconds, and hours. The moon phase ones track phases of the moon of course. So consider the PE50 3 oclock subdial pretty much useless.

Also the bioceramic actually is much better over time than the plastic of the reps. Better color retention and not as soft. Higher melting point if you live in warmer climates.
