Don't think it's a secret that Wing doesn't have his own factory. The group here in question does say it will produce a ODM design for someone from the designers specs. Guessing Wing sends his design specs then has a sample made then if done to his liking they price out the numbers and what movements and such will be bought for that order. He has in the past used two different movements for certain models guessing based on cost. My guess is after a certain amount of agreed time they have an agreement to put that design into their base for sale to others otherwise Wing who has successfully sued a company before would do the same here. Speculation of course on my part but reading the companies bio and terms and other stuff on that site that's what I'm going to speculate because that's what we do when we don't know. Since Wing has sued and won or agreed to a monetary settlement in the past leads me to lean into this being on the up and up and how that stuff works. Of course i could be more then 100% wrong and it won't be the last time, just would be about the millionth time. If not go get them Wing.
 
Gotta love the description [it's an Auto but battery life is posted]:

Movement:automatic, NH35 Mechanical movementDial
Display:pointerBand
Material Type:Stainless Steel
Battery Life:2 years
 
Just like Evine, Amazon and many other listings, the descriptions tend to contradict themselves.

Sapphire and Hardened Mineral Crystal :banghead: It can only be both if one is on the front and the other on the back. We know it's not a tourbillon.

I've seen Aragon put the word Swiss paired with MOVT. :nope:

"Open heart" gets the Tourbillion label a bit too frequently on sites that sell more than watches.
 
Basically says the same thing in the video below at the five minute mark.



Top 5 Things Micro (And Not-So-Micro) Brands Get Wrong - Perth WAtch #320

Mar 1, 2020

Perth WAtch

A brief round-up of the 5 things I've noticed that micro-brands often get wrong (or not quite right).

 
Both Aragon and Deep Blue watches have models called "Meteorite" that both use the exact same dial foundations. Only the dial markers and other decorative bits are different. I understand that most if not all of these watches use the same pool of Chinese suppliers, but it sort of cheapens the brand for me when I see the same basic designs shared between them.
