Anyway, I’m not a brand whore but I value quality and authenticity
This element of quality is what has challenged me to consider fakes, it looks/sounds like the quality is there in these watches, albeit judged through aesthetics.
The deal breaker, I'd fear the movement is made of cheese or the numbers fall off, at which point $500 for 1-5 years doesn't sound like a good value proposition.

Completely agree, but I really struggle with homages.
In the early days of Christopher Ward I bought a C60 and loved it, but as my appreciation of watches has grown I've found myself becoming less attached due to the similarities with Rolex divers, not because I dislike the style, but because my perception of it has changed - I find it less honest (really difficult to describe).
For me, I've yet to find anything that ticks my genuine/authentic/quality/styling/practicality boxes beyond Sinn, hence quite a few are at the top of my list.

This really has got me thinking
I've been contemplating getting a grail(ish) watch for the last 6-12 months, but haven't been able to make a decision. I've got a soft spot for a Royal Oak, my options are:
- Buy a Royal Oak - struggle with the massive cost in purchase and service, be scared of damaging it, cry a little inside ever time I knock it
- Buy an IWC Ingenieur 3239 - great watch, not what I truly want
- Buy something else - This is what I've been trying, but have yet to find something
Videos on fakes like ^ from Watchfinder provide a credible 4th option, fake it. Nearly all the benefits of enjoying the design/build , without the fear/risk. Biggest downside for me is the moral element.

I need this bike in my life! Any idea where the cranks are from?

Fairlight Cempa, one of three possible forks with a long enough steerer and necessary clearance/mounts/geometry. Only ridden it up and down the road, but so far very happy, first proper ride this weekend!
-
After waiting what seemed like months for the fork, it finally arrived. Build finished.
Just finished my build, would use again.
