BP, same case as the Cartel, same dial, different DWO, different bracelet.

Not any better than the Cartel version.

'Decorated' fake 1570 movement, which has added almost $100 to the price - the 2836 clone models are usually about $240.

I really don't understand those factories maybe just maybe they should start improving the case, dial etc. before they make a 1570 deco plate which nobody cares about in a closed caseback watch.

Very easy way to add on $100 to the cost, $90 of which is probably profit.

true, but on the other hand I believe if they would want to increase the sales volume and not just the price they could easily do that by making a better case and dial. I also don`t understand why they can`t make a case which is on par with the offerings coming out of vietnam and then they could sell them at a pricepoint slightly below the vietnam cases (maybe for 300-400USD) - they would sell tons. I don`t understand why they won`t just buy a phong case, copy it and offer it for half the price, the machinery etc to produce the cases is already there anyway.

True, it doesn't really make a lot of sense.
