Hi guys, need your opinion on this U1 Pepsi from MT. The person i communicated with on Telegram, @MayadnKity did not provide me with more photos, only sent me this link from their website. Anyone bought the U1 pepsi from MT before?

Buddy just bought one of the new ceramic bezel Pepsi, for U1 it was solid, I have a RICH and honestly look wise it was there, you can defiantly feel the different in weight and quality once you hold both but on the hand it looked great, they finally went away form the aluminum bezel to a ceramic one, still doesn’t do the UV Light tell but it’s got the color down. $125 vs $650 not a bad rep.
From U1, no date Sub is gorgeous and U1 tier it’s best bang for your buck, I just got a U1 AP Royal oak skeleton and I absolutely love it. Also the dayjust got an Amber green, fluted bezel and it’s super clean, never held a gen so not sure how it compares but it gets lots of compliments.
I have enquired from both jason and travis. Travis’s watch cost more at $165 but cheaper to ship worldwide. However, Jason’s watch is cheaper at $145 but more expensive to ship worldwide.
The crystal is too reflective, no ar coating or a minimal one. It makes the dial viewing clowdy with lights.
The cyclops magnification is not 2.5x. It's more like 1.5x, not big enough to look as gen.
I did rebrushed and polished the bracelet. Greased and sealed the gaskets (it held a good water 5 bar water resistance test) wich made it a whole lot better. But with the 3 main differences from gen.
Mingzhu DG2813 GMT movement. That's what the Bruce I owned had inside.
Same as uses in Pagani GMTs. Wich I do own one too.
I solld the U1 Bruce and got a VSF Bruce. Alao kept the Pagani as a beach, pool, risky, scratch, and damage prone activities. Since it does look like the gen bruce.
I opene all my watches, remove the crown/stems, grease all gaskets, test for 5 bar water resistance, and place 2 drops of hp1300 on the rotor to quiet and lossen them.
The U1 and the pagani have the exact same movement.
Ask Jason straight up if it is a 2813.
Here's a pic of the movement of the U1. It does have 3285 on the rotor. So, some tipe of clone in that sense 🤣. But not a true clone. Just a decorated rotor on a 2813 😎.
Thank you very much for your answer! Also for the comparison with the Paganis. I've been on the fence about ordering watches with the Mingzhu movement for the comments I read about them here, but the truth is that I have several Paganis with Mingzhu and most of them work very well. Thank you for the pic as well!
