I think this is the movement of the watch, because a chineese modder uploaded this picture on his instagram 6 days ago

Meh, you'll never see that on the wrist. ;)


but once you know it’s there...

what a whiff. I wonder who missed that at the proof read. Good catch. This is like the lume on the Panerai 1616. If you own it, you tell yourself “it’s no big deal. No one will ever see it” but if you know it’s there before you buy it, it’s a detail that might cause you to rethink the purchase. Especially for potentially $700. I’m interested to see price.

I wanted to put these side by side to have them both at-a-glance and then I realized the pics in the op aren't of the rep.

So I edited to include the Pic of the rep.

Hmmm ... not so sure on that one. Will have to wait for real pictures of the first buyers. But when they release a Rep of the Blausee Daytona, I can't hold myself.

Nice, but it also has a big empty space on the left side. What's up with that?

The Barichello is the one I like the most or even the Montoya. Maybe VRF will make some more if this proves successful for them. Although doing a thin skeleton Daytona movement is considerably more difficult, especially since they don't have the SA4130.

Would also take the Barichello. But as you said, it's very unlikely that they will ever rep those watches. I also guess the market is just too small for those watches.

On the stainless model, it looks like the gold hands and hour markers are there. Which is correct to the gen and looks different from the Pic of the one in hand that dadog posted earlier in the thread. Must have been a prototype.

Also, the artisans spelling mistake is corrected.


It looks like the side of the watch case is brushed.

Are the center links polished? There's definitely something different going on there.

1) It looks like the hands are Rose Gold in both dadog’s photos as the INTime photos. But it’s a bit harder to tell in dadog’s.

2) The spelling mistake is NOT corrected

Still missing the “I”.


3) the side of the case does indeed appear brushed

4) yes the center links are polished - all links are polished. I believe the different colors you see on the clasp may be due to lighting. The band should not differ from a base submariner band as the Artisans simply mod an owners existing submariner. And I don’t believe they touch the band.
