I don't get it why some of them don't join forces and set up a reproduction shop. Openly disclosed to everyone, that they are selling reproductions of some famous Vintage Models. Don't get me wrong here, I'm not encouraging fakes. I See this more from a "Pur Sang" (Google them) perspektive. They Build 1 to 1 repro Bugattis and Alfas, using the same materials, Blue Prints and techniques as were period correct for 1930'ish Bugattis and Alfas. The Cars are still around 300-400k, but far from the astronomic 9-10 digit values of the Originals and Most Importantly, they are usable without the constant fear of braking something. If someone would make a "true to every aspect" 2915-1, and this would include for me that they also completely reproduce the movement, for lets say 8-10 grand. I'd buy that over a modern reinterpretation from Omega with a New movement and datewheel and what has not. Wouldn't it be awesome to have something true to the original, that you could wear everyday without worry? Oh I banged and scratched my Base 1000 bezel on the hood of my car while working the carbs... So what i'll just order a New one from "2915-repro.com".
But that will remain a fantasy I think. Because it is just to profitable and easy for the "fakers" to make a cheap fake and screw some poor lad over for a quick buck. ...
