While it's certainly not photo-realistic, it appears that the moonphase dial has two moons and 135 teeth so once set, it's accurate for approximately 122 years, as noted here: https://gearpatrol.com/2015/04/14/complications-the-moonphase/
EDIT: comments/picture below suggest that it has 118 teeth, which would mean it's not accurate for 122 years. Not a deal breaker for me if I have to reset it every 3-4 years since I'll be rotating my watches a dozen times in that 3-4 year span anyways. Thanks Virgule and Luck_my-Fife!
"In position 2, turn the stem until the full moon appears in the middle of the opening. Determine the date of the last full moon with a calendar showing the moon phases. Then make one jump of moon phase indicator for each elapsed day since the last full moon."
If this is the modified movement Glycine uses, it is a true moonphase and not a day/night indicator.
I called 4 "authorized retailers" yesterday from the info on Glycine's site. I wanted to validate if it was a true moonphase complication. All retailers explained they are not Glycine authorized retailers anymore (since the acquisition) and the info on the site is probably not up to date. From what they told me, I feel 3 out of the 4 didn't even know what a moonphase was. The last did, but was confused by my question as to how it differed from a day/night indicator.
