Great review, absolutely fantastic! But your incorrect about engraving the movement. If the movement maker wanted to they could easily engrave it without any risk to the quality of the finished product. Also, if the movement maker never ends up engraving the movement, its not that hard to do and its very possible it will become a common mod....
Great review...heres to praying for a 5711 some day!!

It seems that 2020 Aquanaut come with white lume now right?
Hope future rep versions will adapt.

Are you off your pills ????? You are completely delirious... comparing reps with Benz or high value market...
I won’t entertain you further as you obviously need professional help.
now rep watches have become high value product, is this another corona effect ? ;-)

Thanks for the review, it made me decide to pull the trigger on one as I was debating between this model and a noob daytona. Currently awaiting QC pics. How much did Trusty charge you for the additional rubber bracelet since it came with the SS one?

A clone is, by the quality and the offered product, a high value piece I. Comparison to other reps.
The noob Daytona 4130 or the rm027 or the 3k aquanaut are worth the high price tag. Ergo there is a market for low value reps from 150-200€, middle market of regular reps up to 500€ and a high value market where you pay up to 1200€ but get a high quality build with high value offering.
Some of them, yes. Most of them, no.
As in other markers, as I aforementioned cars, where you can get a vw polo (i.e. beginners rep for 150€) or a Benz (anything, as mentioned in the class of a noob Daytona clone 4130 and upwards i.e. the rm027 that's almost 1300€.

Buddy you are very flawed in your reasoning and that is actually very scary ... in all seriousness do yourself a favor and go get a basic book on economics and markets... make sure you dont skip the chapters on :
1-Value
2- Utility
3- the Law of Offer and Demand...
That will prevent you from making HUGE financial mistakes in your life...
You are welcome...
The movement will be made in a sophisticated factory specializing in making movements and making many legitimate movement. Engraving a replica movement will be a very big risk for them, which is why they don't do it..
Un engraved it is just another movement.
Engraved it is a huge liability.
This is why movements are engraved post production and by the watch assemblers.
So yes of course the movement makers can engrave, but they don't
Yea, no. Not gonna have an English man tell me how economics work.
You got some coal you wanna mine? Lol
No, all jokes aside: offer and demand has nothing to do with where you set your pricing, except if you want to be a competitive contestant.
High value and luxury articles work on exclusiveness and quality.
And that is what high quality reps do also.
Doesn't have anything to do with others offering something almost SIMILAR For the same price, it's got to do with the exclusitivity of certain things and they way they are built.
Yes, you can get a Thomas Sabo bracelet for your wife, but the chopard one will always be of better material, better quality and higher finish. The value, the utility and the offer and demand all speak for Thomas Sabo, but chopard is exclusive.

Off topic but nonetheless valid.
For a bit of reality.
Gen makers far from hold the exclusive right to ethos and integrity, nor to quality.
With very few exceptions most Swiss watches we call gen have little more right to call their products gen than ZF Noob or anyone else.
The companies whose name they hold went bankrupt in the quartz crisis.
With very few exceptions they "repositioned" with little more than the name and the emulation of continuing from the point of bankruptcy.
What they were doing in fact and are still doing is making watches thoses companies may have made if they hadn't died.

I bought the Aquanaut. I've been loving it so far. It's the most wearable watch I have ever had.
I synced my seconds hand to Hodinkee app. Interestingly, the watch can be as much as 15 sec slower and then 12 hours later, it catches up and presents the same seconds as the app. Is it normal for movements speed up and speed down?
