Seems like the chinese guys have started replicating more and more complex watches. It’s obvious that this one will have a lot of flaws but who knows what the future will bring us, they have to start somewhere. Replica watches 25 years ago, or even 10 yaers ago are not the same quality and complexity that we find these days. The hope to see something better in the future is still alive

It certainly looks like a decent attempt on the video, think the insides are fixxed and non moving though. Would be crazy if it did haha

Don't see the appeal in it...would've been interesting/exciting if the spinny things moved, but I don't think they do...So what's the point of repping something like this? I mean, to each their own, but IMO it's redeeming quality would be the complications, but without it, it's just a large chunk of glass and metal on an uncomfortable strap.

Stuvetjee great find, the watch looks in the “acceptable” quality range judging from the photos. I wonder what will be the price range and hope to see a SS model, not a fan of gold/rose gold

SS is coming aswell, saw also same pics of that. Only thing is that it isnt going to turn around like the gen. It seems that it moves like a wobble.

It would be too much if it would turn around like the gen one..

If the inside doesn't move then what is the point?

If you're going to rep something like this then give me the Van Cleef & Aprels Midnight Planétarium, make it tell the time and let me advance the planets via pushers. :rofl:
