EYE CANDY from Andrew
Indeed it is the candy
87963999 serial number on the case and on the movement. I knew V6F did that for the early AT reps, it's nice they decided to match the serial here too

It's not a true sandwich dial, Supposed to be etched and filled, Alas I"m just nit picking. The watch looks excellent.

This one really looks the balls.. But I know for a fact that my watchsmith won't touch it with a 10 foot pole :-D I'll wait for the V2 or even V3 to see the stability of this movement. If I learned anything over here in these past couple of years, is not to be an early adopter

I feel a bit more confident as this is an optical clone, not a functional clone, which means it will probably behave more like a Panerai p3000 than a Rolex SA/SH 3135.
Also I have the impressions that asian movements in general, be they clones of ETA/Miyotas or of inhouse designs, have become more stable in the last few years compared to when you guys begun with this hobby a few years ago, with factories improving their testing / QC and machining with better tolerances...
Oh man this super clone mvmt and the Spectre watch looks very very tempting! But the thing that holds me down is the stability and reliability of the mvmt.
I know whit the clone mvmt A3135 of RLX there were a lot of problems in the beginning. Better that the TD post some pics of the movement's health connected to a timegrapher.
Can someone arrange this?

In that last pic from Andrew you can definitely see part of the co-axial wheel hidden under the balance wheel so I’m gonna hazard a guess and say it’s legitimately co-axial. I can’t think of a way they would have worked that in there to just be aesthetic

Honestly I don't think it's a co-axial movement, just a two barrels automatic movement with indipendent hour hand made to resemble the 8500. No way they could replicate the co-axial. If this were a legit functional clone then I would really think twice about buying it as no one except Omega can and will service it...
