I’m thinking H factory reps will be the next highly collectible ‘Blood Dial’ of the near future, complete with ‘stories’ dare told to this inquiring rep crowd of a few. Yeah I'm pretty sure I'll have to make a few calls to a few connections to get the real scoop on how the whole H-Factory thing went down, inlcuing all the gory details. cuz there are always gory details to be told... Just need one of their last watches to review Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's indeed an honour when said to an experienced member (or a TD), like saying Le Thommo is a cunt is an honour to him and great sign of respect Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Without being so harsh (but without denying what you're saying ) those pics could be real (probably not noob though). I've posted a video some time ago showing a tour of a watch factory in China, the lesson learned from it was that : some full factory (in opposition to "factories" that only put parts together) have both a legitimate side of activity and the rep side. They do bespoke or brand parts or full watches and also homage and reps in the same place. That serve as a cover to prevent raids. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sharing here so community can be more assured of the seriousness of these factories to bring out the best for their customers I mean, it’s hard to prove or disprove. This could be ANY factory! Why would any factory allow photos taken, makes them more visible and evidence for a technically illegal production line. Plus, a few photos of a random factory can’t give any assurances. If you want assurances, this is the wrong hobby. Only assurances here is a depleted bank account and overflowing watch box Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The images are of a real factories, multiple grabbed from different places, mostly regurgitated by the fake noob-watch factory. For instance the Data lathe plant photo is from Wenda watch factory.
