You would be correct.
Even though I really want one, maybe not this exact model, oh well, one can dream.
You should know though, they did make a version that was not at all gen or even rep-like lol, but you may dig if you can find it, maybe DHgate.

I would prefer factories to focus on the more simple Freak X
The factories once did a version of the Freak from UN. If you ever see the GEN, you would know immediately that the copy was just that, a feeble attempt to replicate an amazing watch. The Freak's movement is an incredible Tourbillion, and I seriously doubt it could be replicated. The rep that was made many years ago just had gears that looked the part, but the movement on the gears was not there.
it isn’t a tourbillon - but I agree having the balance wheel in the dial is something that requires a clone movement.
Definitely not worth financially
I Googled it and here is the answer:
Is Ulysse Nardin Freak a tourbillon?
As one of the very first lines of watches to experiment with silicon components and an early example of an unconventional tourbillon – the watch is a tourbillon, with the escapement itself also playing the part of the display – the Freak collection was instrumental in making Ulysse Nardin's name back in the early days ..

Is this where you wanna be when Jesus comes back? Gettin me all excited thinking some factory is going to release a Freak!
I dont normally like anything other than black and white dials. But that blue and ss model is stunning.

i seen that one, it was so cheap looking only a serious freak lover could wear it.
Wish there was a decent rep out there but with a price tag of roughly 20k I might just got gen on this one.. Been seeing it at WAW for the first time and now at gumball 3000 (on tv).
@OffshoreNL : lucky you that can go GEN with the Freak, it is one of those pieces which are un-reppable, or that can be repped but will have a lot of flaws compared to the amazing (and Freaky ) Gen !
It's pretty awesome.
Everytime this thread gets a comment my wenis stiffens up, thinking there is a rep getting released for it.

Been eyeing this watch on chrono24 and as it’s unlikely to be repped, gen seems to be the only way.
Btw I also can’t find any shitters on Ali or Dhgate.

@OffshoreNL : i think this is one of the few watches hat i am SURE will never be repped.
UN in itself is a maison that is unfrequently Repped, i mean, apart of the Classico and the Executive Toro (back in 2018 or such ) , no UN were ever Repped. in the last years.
Maybe some DHGate or Aliexpress UN Marine...but it is a rarely repped brand .
As for Gen, a Freak X used is still a 17 - 18 k $ watch...

There have been many excellent replicas of UN watches made. It's just the Freak that will never be properly copied. The tourbillon movement is just too special to be copy-able.
