So everyone is beating Xing Patrick to it and it is also going to be cheaper?
He spend months hyping this model. He would have more luck doing a JLC Quartz Reverso Tribute. Which no one can get their hands on for years.

I think “hyping” it up is strong.

we were getting teasers for a long time. And i wanted to buy it. But meanwhile everyone including HROOULAND had this model out.
I'm not saying all, but some dealers tease a model as their own custom fabrication. Quote extremely high prices. Then some factory has the same thing for a tenth of the cost.
It is happening a lot lately. A new RM is getting hyped for months by dealers. I has insane pricing, but everyone in the sub knows to wait a few more months, because a factory is coming out with it as well.

The model shown on Jtime is the new re-released version, the one patrick is making is the original from 1977 I believe.

Well because this VC222 is not that popular.

Anyways 8+ looks the same as TWF lol

Yeah they added some new colors and some weight but the dw position is still a dealbreaker for me

I’ve sent Patrick 6 messages on WhatsApp. Has never responded. I don’t understand the business model frankly.

He doesnt respond because he cant tell you anything else about the model. Simple as that. Everything you see he posts and on this thread is what he has.

I'm sure if there was a huge production run or if it was easily avaliable he would be replying and selling them.....

And fron what I've gathered the price for these total builds isn't cheap..

Really? Xing has always responded to me.... say you're from RWI and list what you want to buy and that you will pay.

Same. He has never replied to me either tried everywhere I could - telegram WhatsApp WeChat

 

[newest dude on the forum]

Just echoing that the Xing watch is meant to be the vintage model, which is the one I want... The new fantasy stainless with the weird date does nothing for me.

 

[m1994]

Yes Xing is the one we all want, let's hope it doesn't take any longer
