It's apoor rep the current 222 from a small factory. We need ZF to make it. It's a pretty simple watch so I don't think they would have issues.

I am slowly loosing hope for the Xing 222. In my opinion it was just a small one off project from a modder that he hijacked to get more people in his Telegram group to sell "parts kits" from dubious sources. I am not accusing him of selling stolen parts, but it's kind strange that he can sell full "kits" of gen parts with all non serialized parts for below market value.
I'm also starting to lose hope on this. It's been a while now. Pretty disappointing.
Yes no updates in a while. We saw photos of the case a little while ago now and it did look good. We need ZF to make it.
I tried to write to him several times about these builds, but never got a reply.
When I write about his gen kits I get an immediate response.
I think the communication/marketing objective has been rather successful for our friend.

Lots of bold accusations about a vendor who is on RWI...
I think more likely the project is dead - making a watch is much harder than we believe
And if you accuse Xing of selling stolen gen parts I think you underestimate the rarity of gen parts.... he sells lots of older Datejust kits... literally there are millions of those floating around. Peek into wholesale dealer groupchats and you'll see 5/6 digit Datejusts sold for very low prices....

You're probably reading it wrong and answered a bit too quickly...
Who accused him of selling stolen pieces ?
With the chinese ali express dealers like specht & sohne doing a version of the 222 which is great i have 2 of them surely its time for ZF to do it? Another chinese company Hruodland are releasing their version of the 222 in that style shortly.
no news from Xing in so long either. Its a simple watch to rep also You would think.

Read the previous pages, there was a lot of talk about this factory
Fresh on the wrist. I'll come back with an honest review after a few days of wearing it
I am doing a spring clean in my watch collection and this one is going for sale once I get verified by @trailboss99 (if anyone is interested)
Yes I am, please send me a pm. Where are your location?
I have seen these, but cant find them on Ali.
only at their website: https://spechtandsohne.com/products/imperial-gold-edition
USA based?
has anyone bought from them directly?
