Porsche Design Orfina

[glazuna]

Hi folks, I'm new to the forum and in search of this replica, if any of you know where I could get one.
A beautiful watch made famous by the movie Top Gun. Since it's getting featured in the upcoming sequel next month, I suspect there will be interest for it.

I've found this page but it's most likely a scam:

Can anyone get in touch with a factory that would produce it? Even Dan Henry's replica of this watch (Dan Henry 1972 Maverick chronograph), which was produced only in 1972 pieces and is all sold out now, manages to get over $1000 on used market. It really needs a good clone this one

Also some details:
Orfina Porsche Design was available with two movements -

first with the Lemania 5100 (Ref. 7176s) and later with the Valjoux / ETA 7750.

The Lemania 5100 has a subdial with a 24-hour display are generally somewhat more expensive - both in terms of purchasing and revising the movement. Also the large "pointed" hand on the 5100 is different to the "square" end of the 7750

Every free watchmaker should be able to repair the Valjoux / ETA 7750 almost at a fair price.

Depending on the variant and year of production, these watches have different logos on the dial, the case back, the clasp and the crown. A distinction is made here between the Orfina lettering on the dial in combination with the "Orfina flame" on the crown, bottom and clasp - and the uniformly used "PD logo", which stands for "Porsche Design"


If production of the replica starts, it would make most sense to orient on 7176s (early model).

Anyone know where to find a decent replica of this watch?

There are some watches on ebay with the exact same case and bracelet. All you need to do is find the orfina’s dial and you’re good to go.

Hi! So, to follow up on my suggestion: go to eBay and search for:
1. Bund Military wristwatch 7750
2. Lorsa Military 7750
3. Or just: PVD 7750 chrono.

Then all you need is gen dial, just make aure it’s a later version, because later versions of the gen watch used ETA/Valjoux 7750, while the older versions (like the one in Top Gun) used Lemania 5100.

If you want to spend some more, Heuer also made practically the same watch.

I agree, this watch would be a big hit as a rep. Not only because it's become a timeless design, but because PD actually re-released the watch recently and priced it at $10k! Not only that, but today i got an email from Porsche (the car company) that was advertising a new watch from PD. They are calling it the Chronograph 1 - 50 Years 911 Turbo Edition. It's literally the same watch as the top gun remake but with a tan canvas strap on it that says "Turbo". I'm not going to lie...it looks good. I dont lik ethe turbo word on a watch, btu i like the strap, i like the color of the strap, and i love this watch design.

But getting to my big point...remaking a watch that is 50 years old and charging this much would probably make a lot of customers feel LESS bad about buying a rep.

Oh and by the way, correct me if i'm wrong here, but this is a pretty basic watch for a factory to rep compared to the wild stuff they are working on these days. A basic chrono that has a 7750 base. Should be easier than 99% of the other reps they do these days.

Isn't there someone who can print just the dial, like the doxa dials for seestern diver?
