Thank you for your comments. I agree with 99% of your comments with the exception of it being perceived as a copy of another. I beleive many watches have similar characteristics, for example Breguet numerals seem to be everywhere

Speaking of Breguet, the guilloche pattern on the Ophion (sorry, I do not recall this pattern, but I think it may be checkerboard??) is a staple of theirs and commonly used. I often see like DNA throughout many brands. I don't know but perhaps it was their intent to create a sort of copy. No question the movement highlights the greatest disparity from a Kari or UJ as does the overall level of finish. I can appreciate that point firsthand. The Ophion does seem like value for the price at the 50,000 ft level though. I guess I will find out soon! Thank you again and HAGWE

Hello everyone, I was just informed by Miguel @ Ophion that my Velos is in transit. I will post some pics of the actual watch next week. I am looking forward to seeing it in the metal. This is the combination I had ordered. ...
Yes,

The case is indeed from Kari’s case company. Looks really great in the pics. Those lugs..! Cannot wait to see how it feels and looks on the wrist! All the best, Niall
Very tasteful.

no doubt a good looking watch... but it reminds me of a Voutilainen or a UJS.... when you buy a watch like this... you have to be somewhat aware.. with respect and kindness... that you may be buying a sort of copy of a more expensive watch... is that OK w...

I understand your sentiment. When I first saw the picture I also first thought about KV/UJ. But I don't think the movement itself was the only aspect that "reveals itself" - having taken a look at the real life shots shared by some above, again yes at a g...
Well said

But you should understand that the case and lugs are made by the same exact case maker that makes them for Voutilainen. The cost saving that makes this watch much, much more affordable is in the use of laser and machine cutting for the dial components rat...

I have the OPH786 and my Vélos arrived on Friday, and I am delighted! ...
Nice!

The numerals on your watch do not seem as blue and the dial is less of a stong salmon color as compared to their official photos. How does it look your eyes ?
I believe it is the lighting.

Here is another shot that shows the “blueness” of the hours. I apologize for the poor quality of my photos. ...
Here is another picture.

I noticed that the official image posted on the first message is computer generated?? Look at the time. It should be 10:06 but the hour hand is at the 10:30 position. Maybe?? ...
Thank you
