Should Spaghetti Scametti make an automatic watch? A pilot’s watch would be cool.

I feel a generic "vintage" diver would be more in the spirit but I feel that realm is already beyond parody.
The Bens Watch Club offering is satirical parody to showcase the profiteering from cheap watches sold as expensive watches. There is no need to expand the joke.
My vote would be for a skeletonized movement with useless complications, straight from the Guangdong province of Switzerland.
Seriously?????
An automatic is a huge step down from A MIYOTA QUARTZ MOVEMENT.
It would ruin everything.
I want an automatic Scameti so badly! Personally I think essentially a Pro Diver with the "Invicta" sanded off the side would be perfect, well, if they could reduce the WR down to like 2m then yes, perfect!

Yes, the movement in the Spaghetti Scameti is actually better than the low-end ETA movement in my PRX. (My favorite are still Ronda quartz movements in that market segment, but that's another question.)
I have to admit, there is a reason for Spaghetti Scameti. I indulged in watching a shopping channel over the weekend: They tried to sell a chrono from a German sounding watch brand, with a movement that didn't ring any bells, but was "ETA-based", whatever it was supposed to mean. It was also "in-house" at the same time.
Then it finally clicked: It was a Chinese movement with a custom rotor. Not sure how ETA factored in. The dial was nothing to talk about, and the case was thick and overly polished. They were asking for $800 for this horological masterpiece.
Looking at the brand on eBay, the price of the watch must drop around 50% immediately after purchase.
It's not as bad as it was during Covid, but theses schemes are still out there.

aight, I'll see

I did a mock-up
This was a nice merchandise idea. Nothing more.
Let's bring back horrid and cheap pin-pallets, just for laughs and because I'm a masochist!

This 100%
Not at all, its supposed to be a joke brand, I love my icon.
If he wants to make actual good watches it should be a separate brand, bwc is already pretty similar to cwc, iwc, swc etc so he could make a bwc pilot watch
It would he funny to do an homage to an Invicta that's an homage to Rolex. 🤣
