Really wish it was balanced better - looks right justified, lol. Not a fault of the rep obviously, but may well be a dealbreaker for me.

True, I am just finding reasons try to convince myself not to buy the watch. So far I am failing loll.
I'm buying one.. Providing is not ridiculously expensive.

I agree, when I first saw the gen the balance looked way off. For a rep I don't mind. Is pretty remarkable to have a skeleton done to a rep movement.

The case back spelling does bother me, I wonder can the OP who got the phtoos can tell their dealer and tell the factory to correct it? I assumed it is still in prototype stage as I emailed trusty and they never heard of it and Andrew is not a small time dealer.

Just wondering what to do if the movement fails. I guess simply replacing some parts with gen parts will not be a satisfying solution :/
Ouh man I can't stop looking at those pictures though. I really have weakness for that kind of skeletonized watches.

Unless the plates fail they’re all just standard vrf parts? No reason you couldn’t replace them with gen.

This is sooooo cool, i could buy it just for the movement. It is so amazing to see a clone skeletonize movement !

Isn't this the first clone (VR) 3130 ?

I thought other parts than the main plate would have been modiefied too but if thats the case then i am greatly relieved to get one :D

I mean dont quote me on it, no one has one yet but it seems unlikely they have made all new parts for this. Most likely a lot of the parts are just from the vr3135.

Cool watch, you’ll never run into someone with a gen. It’s really done well, minus the spelling mistake, but it looks like a lot of effort to make and won’t be cheap.

I could never pull this off, but it is a good conversation piece.
