VC222 - in the works for local buyers (from Xing Patrick)

[JaceBeleren]

Wow they look great to me or am I an idiot and its a gen lol

Unlikely to be gen, the VC cross is tilted.

 

[Dutlin]

Are these the same ones from xings posts that the thread is based on?

 

[daytonadude]

I believe they are the same / I don’t think Cing has the monopoly on these

Are you able to share who can source them?

 

[kidcreole]

Would be nice to see thickness. Weren't the recent release miyotas?

 

[daytonadude]

Happy to share his contact but 1) I have never bought from him 2) he is AWFUL at responding. I wouldn’t transact if I’m being honest.

Quoted price with a VC movement is 58,000 RMB

Great look! Interresting datewheel that looks vintage. The 4 is very distinctive of the first AP RO jumbo, and VC222 used the same movement AFAIK. The other one with the 26 looks bolder, like it's not from the same print batch. Are they using gen movement?

Insane price for something that could be repped with a quartz movement

 

[daytonadude]

Yes they are using gen movements

 

[Dutlin]

Awful contact at that cost is a no go. Thanks for the heads up.

First buy the seller, than the product!

With so many kind and trustworthy TDs out here, I don't know why take a different road.

I'm short : which would be the differences between the 8+F 222 rep and this Xing Patrick one?

 

[daytonadude]

This one ha s a gen VC movement and a dial and case accurate to the old 222, not the new 222

 

[kidcreole]

I stand corrected. Patrick is using the gen spec. There's a fork of the product by another company using a 2824 (assumed to be thicker with rotor). I misread assuming Patrick had abandoned the gen project for a lower price point.
Sozz info below.

 

[JaceBeleren]

Why use a 2824 instead of a 2982 for the cheaper version?

 

[heska]

What we need is a clone 2121 / LC 920 clone movement

But a quartz with adpater ring would do IMHO

 

[moorepmoo]

Anyone know if this one is good? Or is it better wait to patrick's to come out? I believe this is the VF factory

This one is fantasy version I believe and it also has wrong date window.

I believe that one is like some of the others earlier in this thread. Some like it and some are waiting for a the Patrick version or similar but it appears he may have been distracted by the AP Minute repeater

I guess I'll patiently wait...
