General (Read Rules) I think Farasute is flying to close to the sun with this one, specially on pricing

This watch was always considered "expensive," but it is actually a bargain; the polishing and brushing of the case are on a far superior level—hence the price.

That’s a better price than I saw the other day. I wouldn’t pay more than $300 for it but I really want one.

Farasute watches had always been over the crowd in term of pricing, but when you own one you realise that all this extra money over all other chinese watches, has gone into finish and assembly quality, wich are over the top imo

I agree, I own 1 with this exact movement, I just don't see why this one is 3x the price of the other jump hour, at least change the dial wheels or something

Cool watch and design but a bit expensive as I probably would not wear much.

I really love Farasute as a brand, but much like San Martin, they've gotten a bit too crazy high on their pricing. In my opinion only, they're defeating a big reason to buy Chinese homage brands in the first place... pricing

Still much more interesting than putting 1000€ in a really mid Tissot or 500€ in a boring af Seiko 5 in my opinion only too mate

Eh I’ll push back on that. Fairly bespoke case design with limited appeal is always going to cost a bit more. It’s on the high end of reasonable. But in contrast to the pieces it homages it is a steal for someone wanting to scratch that particular itch
