New AP 26240 with 4401 Super Clone movement is coming

[Rx4Time]

FYI, just posted over on RC studio section.

26240 DP Dial

The DP dial excels with enhanced color saturation and intensified sunburst effect, delivering superior light play compared to APSF while achieving closer gen-like fidelity.

Damn it

Why is there also a date wheel? Guess stock APS doesn't fit? That's another $150 in costs

Regarding the green dial I can see only one reason for buying the DP version: if someone feels the green color of the stock dial being too dark and wants a brighter one.

the conversation at around 187 about the new DP 26240 dials v. APSF stock dials

Ok thank you.
IMHO the DP dials and APSF dials are both flawed in different ways.
The DP dials have too much gloss (and thereby resultant color) imho and the APSF dials have slightly different tapisseries from the gen as well as color.
Both are flawed in terms of tapisseries construction. I’ll save up for the gen dial for a serious build if I’m in the market for one myself.

My approved QC for your use

Oh man, this is my favourite....had a blue, and a white SS, but this is gorgeous...my next purchase!

This is also my favorite one so far, it looks insane, non-tapisserie dial makes it much cleaner and less busy. Did see a video of it on bilibili and really want one but a bit scared of bracelet breaking.

The color theme of this watch is gorgeous. However, I got accustomed to the textured dials of ROs so much that this watch isn't my cup of tea...yet.

Thank you. Is the color of either the DP or APSF dial closer to gen, or are they both flawed as well?

Which color are you referring to please?

DP and APSF blue (green also, I guess).

Photos of DP blue and green ($320 each).

It is so unusual and a one of a kind piece in gen, so people seeing it on the wrist could think the dial is a really bad copy of a tapisserie dial. It does not look from the QC photos that this rep picked up the vertical banding/texture of the gen (See photo), not that it matters much.

My watch that is comming is one to one as well

Not gonna lie dial/insides from gray frosted one with black subdials would go so hard in ceramic case. Love the monochrome look.

My watch that is comming is one to one as well

Hi guys, I need second opinion on my 26240 12 index.

1) Does it look like this / | this?
2) or maybe chrono hands is tilted
3) or is it both?

 

[aHero]

Chrono hand commonly is 1/2 a tick to the right on these reps. I would not RL this if it were mine.

Hey jumbo, can you link your QC album?

Can you request a photo with the chrono function running so we can see the 12 index?

The chrono hand does seem to be slightly off. Same with 3 and 9 index which is very common with these. My 3 is also a bit sus. But as you know it's a very busy dial and only noticeable when magnified.

It's up to you whether that is RL worthy but I would ask to see the 12 index before making a decision.

After over 5 months, my blue 26240 from The Watch Mansion is on its way to me:
