I love the Flying B reps that I've seen from several dealers (Timesshop and the one I've used before, Perfect Clones (Joshua / Jos Nana). But all of them cost in the $500 range and I don't want to spend that kind of money on a rep, but I really want these.

Does anyone sell a cheaper version ($100-200 range) of these watches? Perhaps one of these with your typical el cheapo asian 21J automatic movement? Thx.

21j movement so the chronos wouldn't work. Does it have an AR coating? Looks cheap in comparison to the other higher quality reps and the gens. Is it real 316l steel? I've seen this watch before from other pictures and it looked like the kind of cheap steel that turns your arm orange.

Yes. it's decent steel. Faux chronos as you say. No AR or lume (unsurprisingly at that price). Not too bad for a cheapie with fake chronos, but there are better cheap watches out there. I'd steer clear.

Wait for the 7750 version to drop in price - they're still seriously overpriced imho.

Watches prices seem to be primarily based on costs and popularity. I would think that in a year many of these would be down a lot.

I know the 21J would mean a chrono that doesn't work, but I don't need the chrono to work. I love the look, but I don't want to pay an arm and a leg for it.
