semperfi55 4,657 Posted March 5, 2018 Hi guys, In love with ALS watches and have been checking out TD sites to have a feel on what reps are out there for this brand. Came across this ALS Classic Regulator watch on trustytime. http://trustytime.store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=18&products_id=8832 It’s a shame that they misspelled ‘Sachsen’. Glaring. I quite like the overall design of it but haven’t come across this model on the ALS site. My question to fellow ALS fans: is this a fantasy watch? Tried googling this watch and any matches lead to rep sites. Can’t find it on the official site. Searching ‘classic regulator’ on the forum shows a couple of very old threads without much info and pics unavailable. I would appreciate any info on which model this rep is based, thanks!

Glaude 1,615 Posted March 5, 2018 Can't find anything on that, it's probably a fantasy one based on the IWC regulator model Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Checked out the IWC and definitely want that instead at some point. Also noticed this Patek which I assume is also a fantasy watch. I suppose once they rep the IWC they decided to make the most of the build and slap other brands onto it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Glaude 1,615 Posted March 6, 2018 There's a Patek Philippe Regulator but it look nothing like this one. It's a gray dial with date window at @10 and day window @2. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Orangutan 0 Posted May 24, 2018 There is made a curious off brand Chinese of this which I've seen in HK, named Materazzi. I see it is sold online now, so in this case it would not be a fantasy watch! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tonyh7 216 Posted May 24, 2018 All the regulateur reps Ive seen look very similar- variations on the same watch. Usually an IWC? All based on a modified chinese 6497? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'll have a closer look at this... $599 $699 with a faux tourby Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
narikaa 129 Posted May 24, 2018 These sorts of things happen over and over in Guangzhou Years back there was a rep of the F.P.Journe Chronometre à Resonance (a personal all-time favourite) These were a 'now you see it - now you dont' fast gone appearance Subsequently, I spotted them only to have wasted the adrenaline to find them reincarnated as different brands. Presumably, in tiddly logic more brand recognition would equal more likelihood of shifting the residual hulls. The last ones I saw were badged as 'Cartier' Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe they mean HK dollar? What I saw was $700hkd which equals $90usd. I would not pay more than that Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
