What bothers me the most is the "GLENEVE" spelling mistake in the engraving in the movement...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

that whole decoration will look like tin foil anyways - don't get hung up on a typo mate.
the date position is where it also gets incredibly distracting - this version is best to be overlooked until ZF or any major factory decides to put their effort into it.

Blue one made
Who is the source / factory ot this one?
Looks not too bad, but off in a lot of places - on first glance:
- Blue is off - original looks less dark and more matte
- Date / Date Window - more sloppy and less "framed" than gen
- Maltese Cross in front - Color is off and metal is not brushed
- Bezel - lower ring too white and not brushed (similar to area around cross)
- Thickness looks off by ~1mm at least?

Not any longer mate: https://www.vacheron-constantin.com/ww/en/collections/historiques/4200h-222a-b934.html„Off“ from what? Mate, this is a fantasy model
If this would have been a fantasy of the OG 222 it would have had a closed case back?
Been awaiting for a while now… but this blue just came out… worth a punt
Prefer the ironic text way more than any AliX brand name.

You just dashed my hopes...Every time I see an update on this thread I am excited for news and then hopes dashed
I spoke with a modder I've done some work with successfully from r/1688time and he's doing custom dials for 8+f 222s and gold plating (for gold models, obviously). He didn't show me any examples of his work, but seemed confident that a good result could be achieved.
