Define "good". For many of us it is. But of cause a Rep with a decorated 9015 will never ever be a kind of "NWBIG". You seem to be more the nitpitcker guy, so I doubt this one will please you.

There’s no clone movement of any QP watch you saying?

Of course not.

good as in the polishing of the skeleton parts are not rough. ZF ro V3 blue, PPF 5712 v2 are good.

The 240-Clone is really a masterpiece but still far away from beeing "good", if you really want to compare it with the gen. The RO "Skeletion" - i guess you mean the Double Balance Wheel Openworked - has not only two balance wheels on one axis with a depth of only 10mm but also the "open work construction" with it´s fine worked details everywhere; that´s nothing the chinese can copy ;-)

Alright thanks jerks now I gotta get one myself.

Seriously though, what is everyone getting? I like the China edition (black with red hand) but that's meant to be Ti.

Thinking of the dark blue in steel.

Wow! You can even set the leap year manually via a pusher. Another function, APS doesn´t offer.

Looks stunning. Keen to see as folk receive these in hand and the general build quality how they hold up after some time

I know ;-)
I have the PPF 5172 and really love it. But he was talking about the openworked AP and this is one is from another planet in terms of craftmanship ;-)
But this is OT here, so we should follow this discussion in a separate thread if there is a need for it.
