Movements look practically the same, I believe the 4161 calibre has the regatta countdown function built on top of it. I am no expert, but it shouldn't be too hard, as the majority of the project is already done, the clone movement building guys just need to integrate the regatta countdown function on top of it. Below is a visual comparison of both movements. puretime please forward this to Noob factory.

If it would be that simple, don‘t you think they‘d already have done that? :) ;) I agree that this would be nice though.

It's something they may have not known, as I said I am no expert and the idea came to my head instantly as I noticed the movements looked similar (without comparison, just my photogenic memory picked up the position of the parts on the Daytona 4130 movement and felt like they were located on the same position on the 4161), so I decided to compare the movements and see if my photogenic memory is not tricking me. Turns out it is not, as you can judge by the pictures.

Your photogenic memory appears to be correct, here is some interesting read: http://calibercorner.com/rolex-caliber-4161/

4161 is based upon 4130 :)

Problem is the movement is attached to the bezel,since the bezel enables the regatta function etc.so no its not that simple at all.

YM2 and Skydweller Will NEVER EVER get repped with the Gen functions!

yeah we where saying that about the tourbillon not too long ago and now we have tourbillon models that would pass for gen(VC Patrimony, IWC(tourby @9o'clock!!!).
i think in a year they show have a skydweller down with gen functions in 904L and finishing we have come to expect from noob/arf. as for a yachtmaster well the gen is acc based on the 4130 so that shouldnt take long to incorporate.

I just purchased a YM II Baselworld 2017 JF.I love it and its very good so far. I would love it if they did this. If they don't I might try to see if I can buy a 4130 noob but I doubt they would sell the 4130 to me by itself. I'm not that well connected.

Noob maker is going to do some research about the movement. But they think it will take a long time, 1~2 years.

SA4130 movement is not enough now, their daytona watches always out of stocks :(

Awesome Kobe, I believe they can figure it out quickly, they have the base, it shouldn't be that hard, but again I am no expert. I was actually going to post this on HKRWF also. Please talk to the owner/manager of Noob "Factory".
