Now you've done it. You have summoned him. Somewhere in Alberta an alarm has gone off.

Sorry but that's a design they bought from the Swiss with all the tools to make it.

😍 I have the "Plan B" version. 

Just an outstanding way to get exposure to a manual wound chronograph.

And more than a few companies make it there. Sea-Gull was the first but they all can make it as the patent is long expired. Just like any 20 year old patent anyone can produce it. Heck Rolex and Omega can't keep out of each others designs either.

Question, how is the long-term reliability of this piece?
I have always wanted to get one, the price in Aliexpress is very tempting.
Waiting for monthly sales.
