Another historic moment in the replica world: the successful development of the "Perpetual Calendar," one of the three major complex functions in luxury watches! The V9 Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Perpetual Calendar automatic mechanical watch (official models: white dial 130842J, black dial 1308470, gold dial 1302520, gray dial 130354J) is the same watch worn by Stephen Strange in the movie "Doctor Strange." Without altering the original 39mm diameter, the V9 factory has achieved all the functions of the original 868 movement.
Functions as follows:
1. Perpetual Calendar—The perpetual calendar year at the 8 o'clock position operates normally (2017-2024, with a free factory replacement of the year module available in 2024). Like the original, it can be adjusted via hidden buttons on the case, and it surpasses the original by allowing reversible adjustments (the original year adjustment is irreversible; if over-adjusted, it requires paid repairs).
2. Day, Month, and Star (Annual Calendar)—The date (3 o'clock position), month (6 o'clock position), and day of the week (9 o'clock position) all operate normally and can be manually adjusted (the date is adjusted bidirectionally by pulling out the second crown position, the month is adjusted via the hidden button at the 8 o'clock position, and the day of the week can be adjusted by moving the hands).
3. Warning Window—A扇形-shaped window located above the central pinion on the dial. When displayed in white, the year can be manually adjusted; when displayed in blue, it indicates a restricted time period. It is best not to adjust the year during this period to avoid damaging the movement, as is the case with the original.
4. Moon Phase Disk—The moon phase window at the 12 o'clock position completes one cycle every 24 hours.
5. Hours, Minutes, and Seconds—Operates and adjusts like a conventional watch.
Reasons to Purchase:
1. Comprehensive Functions: Includes all functions such as perpetual calendar and annual calendar, offering high grade, great playability, and exceptional visual appeal. The movement is in short supply and hard to come by.
2. Highly Similar Dial: The dial is the face of the watch. Thanks to the benefits of original mold development, the product is 98% close to the original in terms of dial design, font distribution, and dial finish. It is difficult to distinguish from the original without examining the movement.
3. Practical Size: The 39mm diameter is suitable for both business and casual occasions, complementing both formal and casual attire.
4. Dauphine Hands: The dauphine sword-shaped hands are a signature feature of the Jaeger-LeCoultre brand (half-brushed, half-polished), unlike the ordinary hands found in lower-tier factory products.
5. Affordable Price: The original is primarily available in steel models, priced around W (approximately 8W for pre-owned). Currently, it is the most cost-effective complex function watch among top-tier brands, with no equal, and is accessible to most people.
(Note: Full calendar/annual calendar is not the same as perpetual calendar. Full calendar/annual calendar only displays "day, month, and star," while perpetual calendar directly displays the year).
BUGS:
1. Thickness: The original is 9.2mm, while the V9 version is 11.5mm, slightly thicker than the original but not easily noticeable to the naked eye, and it does not affect the wearing experience.
2. Movement Structure: There are differences in the movement structure due to the use of a different base movement, which has pros and cons. The downside is that the movement similarity is not high, but the upside is that the year adjustment is better than the original (V9 allows cyclic adjustment, while the original is irreversible).
3. Moon Phase: The original moon phase completes one cycle in 30 days, while the V9 version completes it in 24 hours. This additional function does not affect the appearance or usage.
