Few months and it's mass produced for $600 at most.. v1, v2, v3..
How it goes with most things. They need to recoup the initial investment with a limited batch produced, so the prices are high.

While I wanted one, I think I'll just go get a ZF RM055 to tide me over while this shitshow paces itself out to something more manageable in a year.

Y'know, I was wondering how the hell that escape wheel was supposed to interface with the pallet fork that's clearly at the wrong angle to touch any part of it in any way. That escape wheel looks like the ones in my etched plates lololololol

I honestly think the "upgrade" is worse, and that's before we get into the psychology of the ridiculous pricing.

Miyota 9015 is thin and able to mod into RM67-02, but the mod need to be carefully design and executed.
With CNC machine precision, it is possible to do so. My suggestion will be put an intermediate wheel to drive minute hand, so the entire gear train and escapement wheel can be "long" enough to match the escapement wheel position as RM67-02. However, this method required countless experiment to find out the correct intermediate wheel size.

You are missing my point.

Everything you said is correct about the price.

But HB is not the dude who invented this. He's a Chinese non TD modder that charges double of other modders. My point is HB upcharges a significant amount for products.

I got you and you r right, but there is the question, who invented it? Is it hard to find this? Because HillyBilly and AmoWatch both are currently the only one who offers it

You are not going to "find" the maker of the RM67-02 Who is the boss of Clean? Who is the current head of VSF? Who runs the Tijuana Cartel right now? Some questions are better left unanswered.

From what I gathered this is a few people working together to create this piece. It's not a official "factory" like Clean, VSF, or any of the typical name brand factories. Which also explains why only high end modders and chinese dealers have access to this piece right now.

Thank you for your good and precise answer!

So maybe to find an agent in China (in which city) who can find this watch? for 2k$ I would order it.

You will most likely have to do some deep digging in order to find this model for a price like 2k, because 99% of dealers selling this know that people are willing to buy this for crazy prices Like 5k. You will need some sort of close family or friend connection in order to get this at a lower price, so I think it would just be easier to wait it out or if you really want just pay the 5k.

But is in your opinion the possibility there that the price will go down, the next 3 months?
