Classic Regulator: Fantasy Watch?

Recommended Posts

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.

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! :)

Can't find anything on that, it's probably a fantasy one based on the IWC regulator model

Thanks for that! 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 :D

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.

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!

All the regulateur reps Ive seen look very similar- variations on the same watch. Usually an IWC? All based on a modified chinese 6497?

Not bad looking, nice onion crown too. I'll have a closer look at this...

$599 :Whistle:  $699 with a faux tourby :redcard:

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' :facepalm:

That is a bad price yes! Maybe they mean HK dollar? What I saw was $700hkd which equals $90usd. I would not pay more than that ;)
