I’m looking forward reading yourreview, I will borrow you my THICK/FAT rep for a comparison review

Yeah let me just find £135k down the back of my sofa - no need for a stupid comment when I’m pointing out the biggest flaw of the watch at over 25% extra thickness.....

1 or 2mm discussion? And the tourby is way off! THATS an easy tell!

You doing great !

It’s 16.8mm

Even though a little bit of extra thickness can change the appearance of a watch in a certain way - i would never be bothered by this difference as the gen is not worth it compared to the rep alternative (leave the heritage and craftsmanship of the gen aside).

This watch is a mile stone (just like some other recently released tourbillons) regarding skeleton movements with a flying tourbillon. The appearance of the movement and the functional bridges (not just glued on deco stuff) is something very unique in a rep world where only stock SeaGull Torubillons could be seen in the past with horrendous fake looking decorative bridges on top of them.

Facing this fact every watch enthusiast should be embracing the over all concept - not the look and the style of the watch as it depends on the taste of oneself - but on the over all fact that reps like this exist nowadays.

The skeleton one is not bad. Hopefully they can come up with a V41 instead of those V45 vangard reps. V45 is too large for a daily beater.

Exactly, a V41 would be a killer.

the other one is too large

 

[roadtofreedom]

ironically the print piece is bothering me as well

As always, there will be a v2

 

[roadtofreedom]

It’s 16.8mm

Damn, is like a fucking brick !!!

 

[roadtofreedom]

My gut tells me that a v41 is not gonna be released until the rep factories are not able to reduce thickness at least 2-3 mm

 

[roadtofreedom]

I was comparing this rep with GEN.

unfortunately, it’s not close to GEN.

it has many, many flaws in bridges and screws.

Nice 6 posts when you could have written one (or none)

Amen actually, I wanted to give you kudos as originally I was turned off by the thickness but readig this I realize how right you are......now waiting for it to be released in rg and off I go

Despite my earlier comments, the way the FM wraps around the wrist, the thickness may not be as 'brick like' as say a RM011 but BIONONE is spot on $700 or $150k - I know what the better deal is

 

[BIONONE]

I mean - lets face the fact that we won‘t even be abled to see a genuine piece in a boutique - so how high are the chances you can get uncomfortable knowing the fact that some jewels and the thickness are kind of a very good compromise for a good deal?

nit picking at easy to rep watches is necessary and i‘m totally with it - but when it comes to high horology counterfeits it depends on every possible alternative and in this case there is no other alternative - another thing with the new Roger Dubuis tourbillon for example where you have a choice (BBR vs JJR if im not mistaken)

It’s what I said as well in one of my posts where another member found himself offended..

people forget that we are speaking here od 600-800$ reps vs 100+k genuine watches.

Btw, I have ordere this one and cannot wait to get it

Is this FM Vangaurd V45 watch wearable for a small wrist 16.5cm / 6.5 inch ? Is it too big? It is not easy to determine due to its unique design

vcappp I have photos of the watch on the wrist, just don’t ask me what is the wrist size on the photo because I don’t know. Maybe you can guess by the photo yourself since we know that the watch from 12 to 6 is 53mm (if I am not mistaken)

Honestly, looks like enormous.
