Anyone know of a AP Star wheel semi rep? >>

Not looking for a fake signed model, but a company making a similar design without the AP name on it.
Basically want the parts. Found a number of manufactures, but lowest priced is $3000 and it's not that attractive and not looking to spend that kind of money to break down. Surprised no Chinese copy of one, but I guess too complicated to produce at a reasonable price
Thanks

It looks pretty complicated but that being said the Chinese would make it if there was enough demand. I would post in the AP threads at RWI , RepGeek and RWG.BZ and RWG.CC

Seems that there is kickstarter for something like that:

Turns out I found one. Company using a Miyota movement as it's base. They also use the same movement for a number of complications.
They also make watches, but no brand names. Took it apart to check and see if it could be adapted to a thinner movement. Probably could, but would require a lot of work.
Company also makes a nice micro rotor movement that would have been perfect for the design. No idea why they didn't use it unless it came out later
