Cartier Crash, interest check and discussion

[TudorGstaad]

Hi all,

I've done done some interest checks for a Cartier Crash replica before on r/reptime. There was huge interest actually but it never progressed with any factory or trusted dealer willing to take the challenge.

Now the Cartier Crash actually has been replicated before. See source from dealer Wasay s https://www.reddit.com/r/RepTime/s/ro8JeKApAY who sold some pieces of the Crash years ago.

This means it is replicated, does someone know the manufacturer of the crash and if there is any chance of it being produced again? Would be lovely to own a replica of the Crash and change the strap.

I understand that manufacturers stay away from watches that are so incredibly rare and so silly expensive that only a handful of them exist in the world. Wearing a Crash immediately outs the wearer as a poser, so few people would order one, and thus there's no return on investment for the manufacturer.

That's true but there are numerous high value replica brand like Patek Philippe and Richard Mille.

And the Crash is already replicated before so whats stopping them

I actually made a crash thread a while back. One guy is making a prototype case in gold with plans to make a steel case and use cartier movements accurate to the 91 crash. We were suppose to get updates on the case but thus far nothing.

Would depend hugely on the accuracy

Would depend hugely on the accuracy

only difference would be the unbranded movement, because the original movement alone is 170-200 euros
