legend Yeah I think aside from many other factors, one big factor is the thickness of the caseback (gen is very thin compared to the replicas currently being made). Because they haven't made a clone of the 26331 movement yet, the A7750 is still being used and the movement is quite thick. I think they used it for Daytonas for a while, and the thickness was probably the biggest issue many replica buyers had. I think i saw someone use a gen cartier movement (you'd have to look at some of the posts) but I believe that movement might be a good one as long as it's not too thick. The 26331 is also closed caseback so it wouldn't matter.
I am a little curious though if the clone 4130 would be able to fit into a replica 26331. (I'm not a replica expert, so I am not sure if this is even viable). There would be many factors to consider into retrofitting this, if it's even possible.
