Wondering if theres any way to get the 38mm chrono like the 26715ST.OO.1356ST.02 or even a fantasy panda/reverse panda dial

Yes I know even the current 41mm chrono reps arent worth to get but just wondering

I heard that they are working in the clone for the ap chronos. It will be a modified 4302 movement and I think that it will be out before the end of the year

May I ask who is "they"? Also movement in the 38mm ROC is not even in house (Piguet 1185) and now sure how they will make it off the 4302. I believe the ROO's run a version of the in house movement, but I am not 100% sure if they evolved since using the 3120 with a module.

Either way I would be open to any version of the 38mm ROC, even if it's a non functioning chrono

unfortunately if I am not wrong this movement is for the 41mm it is bigger than the fp 1185 so not really sure if a 38mm can be done with the clone movement, but I wish they make it as well. I think that for most of the people the 38mm is the maximum a few people can rock the 41 without looking like invicta 50mm 😂😂😂

with a 6,5 inch wrist i still feel like my 38mm RO is the max i would go for. I did have a Casioak mod that was like 42 and never again

My advice is to just do a Daytona. I really don't think the 38mm will be repped well (i would love to eat my words)

Or just do the 33mm ZF AP. Compromise is necessary, reps have never done chronos well

At this time, it seems upcoming/planned rep chrono auto movements are only feasible for AP chrono 41mm or larger watches. The rep 38mm chrono will have to wait for a suitable movement before fruition.

Seems I have to settle only for these 38 mm chronos of mine for awhile. 🤣

What movement does your Zenith use? It might work in an AP 38mm chrono case.
Zenith El Primero 400. I think gen spec AP dials won't fit that movement but I'm not sure. Anyway, how can you source such an AP case and other parts?
