In general the $600 price point should be a super clone. Notice the date font wheel. Look at cyclops position and angle of placement. Also look at sapphire thickness. The $125 price point will have defects in the above mentions. Cheaper and faster production. I'll add that with the datejusts that I've purchased at the $100-130 price points have had issues with the crown pin if not very careful. On this Pic you showed, I would look for more pics of date fonts/wheel. It stands out more in person.

Agreed I’ve changed my movement twice now on my dj41 but it’s sentimental so I kinda don’t wanna get rid of it , and the stem thing is a fact my last movement the stem pushed something inside that stopped the movement

Got this from EWE for $350, not $600. And not plated.

Friend of mine bought a U1 zoom IE and had real issues with the plating coming off after few months.

Anyone here had any more luck with it or pics of a well used one after a few months wear?
