So the title implies China-only buyers, but there are a few things I don't know:

  1. How big is this batch going to be?
  2. Limited to 1 run?
  3. What is the case spec going to be? For the gen caliber movement? If so, do we need spacers etc?
  4. Price/Specs for what has been built so far?
  5. Which China-only buyers? Because technically, right, some factories are 'China-only' but our TDs buy them and ship to us, can we do the same here?

Dude, I'll literally fly to China and put my mouth on whatever I gotta put it on to get one of these.

Just buy one and some of the modders here can plate it in yellow gold. Unless there are differences in engravings. I can certainly do this.
Stainless steel 222 is my forever Grail. I'd be bummed if they were doing the gold version. Worth noting that the gold version also has a gold dial

It’s not from a TD it’s a custom piece from a modder.
Isn’t Patrick a trusted “provider” on here now? Although I believe David acts on his behalf.

Ehh yeah, i think more so that the comment implied it's a factory like VS/Clean making the 222.

Wanted to clarify that its a modder/trusted provider making these and not a factory like we expect
