In a groundbreaking moment for the replica watch industry, the V9 factory has achieved a significant milestone: the successful development of the perpetual calendar, one of the three major complex functions! This masterpiece, the V9 Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Perpetual Calendar Automatic Mechanical Watch, dons the same style as Stephen Strange’s watch in the movie Doctor Strange.

Without altering the original 39mm diameter, the V9 factory has replicated all functions of the original caliber 868. Here’s what makes this watch tick:

1. Perpetual Calendar: The 8 o’clock position displays the perpetual calendar year (2017-2024), with a free module replacement in 2024. It can be adjusted via hidden buttons on the case and offers reversible adjustment, unlike the original, which requires paid repair if adjusted.

2. Annual Calendar: The date at the 3 o’clock position, month at 6, and day at 9 all run smoothly and can be manually adjusted (date can be adjusted in both directions by pulling out to the second notch, month adjusted via the 8 o’clock hidden button, and day by moving the hand).

3. Warning Window: Located above the central hand axis, when the window shows white, the year can be adjusted manually, but when blue, it indicates a restricted time for adjustments, similar to the original.

4. Moon Phase: The 12 o’clock moon phase window runs a full cycle in 24 hours.

5. Hours, Minutes, Seconds: Operates and adjusts like a standard watch.

Why should you consider buying this? Here are a few reasons:

1. Comprehensive Functions: Loaded with perpetual and annual calendar features, it offers high prestige, playability, and visual appeal. This caliber is rare and in demand.

2. Remarkable Similarity: Thanks to original molds, it is 98% similar to the original’s dial design, font distribution, and dial finish. Without examining the movement, distinguishing the replica from the original is challenging.

3. Practical Size: The 39mm diameter makes it versatile for both business and leisure settings, pairing well with formal and casual attire.

4. Unique Tai Chi Hands: The sword-shaped hands are a Jaeger-LeCoultre signature, half sandblasted and half polished, setting it apart from ordinary pointers found in less reputable factories.

5. Reasonable Price: The original retails mainly in steel models, priced around $10,000, with second-hand options at about $8,000. It’s the most cost-effective model among top brands with complex functions.

Note: Full/annual calendar is not equal to a perpetual calendar; the former displays only ‘day, month, phase’ while the latter can directly show the year.

Some minor bugs include:

1. Thickness: The original is 9.2mm, whereas V9’s version is 11.5mm—slightly thicker but not visually noticeable.

2. Movement Structure: Differences due to the base movement; it benefits from superior year adjustment capabilities, though not similar in structure.

3. Moon Phase: The original completes its cycle in 30 days.
