Wow, didn’t think they’d do it.

Blue ceramic one will be an instant cop.

Hope they also release the non openworked variants.

All factories use 1 generic tourbillon movement. And it’s thick. No clone of the AP one exists. I highly doubt THB will clone the tourbillon considering there’s limited models for this.

The R8 factory reps are pretty slim and use a tourbi. Doubt we'll see a tourbi clone anytime soon.

At least the balance wheels look attractive and semi-accurate. The AP RO openwork, while improved with the latest version, have a terrible looking balance wheel. If it were on the back, I would think about purchasing, but it's sort of the first thing you see on the front. This is decent looking. Thanks for sharing.

I'm pretty sure these are gen pictures. A video of this rep was posted on reddit, and the keyless area around the 3 o'clock marker is more crowded than these gen openworked movement.

Doesn't look too bad at all imo! And if the 11mm thickness is correct, that's quite impressive. I think GEN is around 10.7mm?
Correct , the Gen is 10.7 mm ...they're virtually identical !


This year was a great year for AP fans, a lot of incredible Reps ! (y)
