3126 movt super-rep? Thin Ns Daytonas like.

[volodqua]

Mates,

Has anybody heard about 3126 super-rep movts? N made a breaktrough with its 4130 super-clone. What about JF\XF super 3126 reps?
Is there any information?

Haven't heard anything on this. It would be fantastic.. but I don't think the demand is there like it is for the Daytona unfortunately...

Its a shame, the Royal Oak Chrono is one of my favorites.

The royal oak chrono uses the cal.2385 movement. The 3126/3840 movement is used in the royal oak offshore.
But either way, no clone movement for either yet.

that would give Franken Roo finally a boost to be more popular and closer to gen dimensionwise. no LwO needed anymore and no substitute hands - i vote for SH-LWO283

What do you mean by substitute hands Limpy ?

Technically half the LWO movement already exists from the factories, the A2892 base module. What is needed is a clone DD chrono module.

But the LWO283 used in the AP frankens today is not equal to the gen 3126/3840 caliber. It does not have the instant date change and in general has a slightly shorter power reserve (though I can live with that). Also it isn’t compatible with the gen AP datewheel.
The LWO283 movement is the ETA equivalent of the AP caliber used in ROOs (which itself isn’t a horological gem where luxury watch movements go). So you can see that if a clone is to be created it’ll make more sense to make one of the AP caliber rather than the LWO one. And yes I agree that it’s entirely within the rep makers’ capability to do so seeing how Noob cloned the A4130.

If given the choice the Chinese will probably have an easier time cloning the Dubois Depraz 2020 chrono module rather than the gen cal. 3126. While the DD module has its peculiarities and difficulties from a watchmaker's perspective,I think it is more clonable than a cal. 3126 as the data sheets for it are public accessible, or at least semi-accessible, and its construction is not as complex and costly as the cal. 3126. Using an improved A2892 (the existing A2892 needs to be improved, for sure, it is one of the weakest Asian ETA clones) with an "Asian Dubois Depraz 2020" would be a nice improvement over the A7750 with the sec@12 transfer system and lead to compatibility with gen dials, gen hands, and solve the DW positioning and crown positioning problem that many dislike. Here is a look at what our Chinese innovators would need to reverse engineer:
