I love this watch and it is my dream chrono (perhaps along with the AP RO Chrono), but I don't think any decent chrono rep is possible at this moment.

I think I have seen a quartz rep of this somewhere on one of the TD sites, can't remember which. I still wouldn't accept quartz, but you'd be okay with that I presume?

I had a rep of the older classic but a few things were wrong so I flipped it
Incorrect size
Quartz
Poor lume
Sharp edges
Etc

Lovely watch mind you

Well, Watchoutlet has it but any other TD can source it I believe
Quartz version itself is already quite intriguing but still couldn't manage to flip my switch on... I guess just a little adjustment to the AUTOMATIC instead of QUARTZ on dial, automatic movement and(I think) sunburst dial, and it would be perfect!

Watchoutlet has it so I am sure PT also has it but they didn't post it on their website. I believe they can source it for you if you want it
They also have the video of it posted on replicawatchvideo.com but what I really can't stand is the 'QUARTZ' x.x

The funny thing is that the watch is almost perfect, if they change the dial to say Automatic, change the movement and the clasp, you have a super replica.

Yes so why wouldn't they make it super rep right from the start? I guess a change of movement and dial QUARTZ to AUTOMATIC is not a difficult thing to do. I bet all of us wouldn't mind about anything else like thickness in writings or a mm difference in thickness or positionings of whatever in the dial that no one would really notice.

true, I just ordered one from WatchOutlet... I spoke to my watch guy to see if there is a movement that we can use to fit on the case and the dial of this watch... hopefully I can share my process with you guys!

Could have bought the 2894-2 ETA I was selling :) that is the calibre 17.
