It’s a very expensive bodge job same as the 215 on the 5712. A ticking time bomb.

That's what I think, maybe it's a decorated wheel while the controlling arm is chopped off?? Who knows, only time will tell

Wow, this would be a tricky scam if the price tag was high . I wonder what they exactly did with the so called 1:1 clone 240 movement after all .

Exactly, that woul be a schmuck move

It's not that easy you think just chop off the regulator arm.its won't work that way. The all movement for what I look it's different level from 3k clone movement.

 

[bpbp]

They already making the super clone movement so far, why not also clone the screw of regulator arm???

The price I get is $2800 not sure it's come with real 22k rotor. If not it's kinda pricy

The solid gold rotor comes for another $900 or $1000.

Getting up there in price but damn tempted for a super rep

I guess they simply replaced all plates and gold-plated the rotor? other parts look stock 3k to me.

 

[grillbrill]

What is the price with a gold plated rotor?

 

[j21]

What will happen if the movement fails and.you ll need replacement parts?
Readily available or you will have 2k worth of garbage?

 

[Sidhu6355]

Just my 2 cents, I think they re-did all of the movement plates, slapped on a "maybe" real free sprung balance and voila, we get this movement. Rest, I beleive it's is the same 3kf clone movement. This would be worthwhile for those who want to go an extra mile to be as close to gen as possible, so in terms of parts availability, there shouldn't be a problem except the balance wheel which needs to be figured out.

 

[Sidhu6355]

Oh, and I believe they do provide the option to install a real solid gold rotor, so yeah, thats where a huge chunk of money goes into

 

[j21]

It was more a rhetorical question. You will just have a 2k piece of garbage, its not like rolex clones that you can use gen parts, the movement is not gen spec
It is a great release however, just whoever is going to spend that amount is good to have that in mind also

At this price point, this should come with an extra bag full of the most important replacement parts in blisters.

Is VS getting into Pateks? That would be amazing. I don't see this movement on his site though.

VSV is not VSF
