I`ve asked for a refund and bought instead a beautiful Thomas Earnshaw https://www.thomas-earnshaw.com/collections/moon-phase/products/es-8031-03-maskelyne that looks great and the finishing is awsome for the money (found it with 100 usd)

bogdanstanoievAs good as that looks I'm not very big on white dial watches, the one I was getting from this drop was a black dial, I decided to use the money that I was given back since the drop was cancelled on https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0044XDZII/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1.
If they get their stuff together and make another drop I might get one as I really wanted it

I ordered the watch the first time it was offered by MD. Then the drop was cancelled due to issues with delivery. I was really disappointed. When the watch came back on MD, I ordered it again and no problem this time. Delivery was quite fast. But if you live in Canada like me, you have to pay ridiculously high duty fees. 48$ (CAN) in my case. That's a lot of extra money.
As the for the watch itself, I really like it. I don't mind the red stiching on the strap, but I'll probably change it enventually. This is my first moonphase and the instructions for setting the time and the moonphase are pretty straightforward and well explained. The month and day subdials are easy to read, but the numbers on the day subdial are really, really small. But that's the price to get a reasonably sized watch, I guess! Also, the pictures on MD didn't show it well, but the watch face has a guilloché pattern which gives it a classy look (see pics).
All and all, excluding the duty fees, I'm quite happy with this purchase.

I think it is. I remember seeing somewhere it was based near Montreal, Quebec. But I can't find the reference anymore.

I'm also a stickler for precise markers, which is why I'd almost prefer they don't do them if they can't do them right.
In this case, it looks like it just might be the perspective/shadows that's making it look like they aren't properly centred.
Perhaps the OP (@FrancoisCartier) can weigh in?

The watch looks great but I'm having trouble getting it wound and set. Is anyone else having any problems and are there any suggestions?

astrozombies16You don't wind a quartz watch, so I'm curious what you're trying to do. What are you trying to do, and what is the specific problem you're having?

What you don't notice in Massdrop pictures, is that the dial has nice wave pattern all over it.
You can see that in the W&W article photos: https://wornandwound.com/introducing-the-carnot-riviera/
Personally, this minor detail made me rethink buying this watch.
P. S. Please, Massdrop work on the pictures of watches...

JustSphexGot to agree. Wasn't the least bit interested until I had a look at the photos on the worn and wound page. Even the rose gold on the watches on the drop photos looks terrible.

A little confused here. The narrative speaks of an automatic movement, but the specifications list it as a quartz movement. Those two are mutually exclusive of one another. Automatic means it's spring actuated movement and automatically winds with the motion of your wrist and/or a winding crown. Quartz means that it runs on electricity from a watch battery, using the pulsations of a quartz crystal to keep time. Perhaps someone here can resolve this contradiction.

I read that differently. I think what they mean to say is that moonphase calendars are either automatic and expensive, or quartz and inexpensive. I would've written this copy differently, but they're not tricking people into thinking it's an automatic.
