Hello again,
if I want to build a 4130 movement very very close to original or like original movement, can I use replica part from noob movement, or is it better to use 100% genuine part?
Ok but if I replace all this part and show the movement to a Rolex watchmaker, will he understand that the movement is copy?
Why would you even consider doing that?Ok but if I replace all this part and show the movement to a Rolex watchmaker, will he understand that the movement is copy?
Okay, I guess we all have that desire to a greater or lesser degree, which is why we're here. Personally, I've gone about as far as I want to: I bought a Noob V2.2 and an ARF V.2 panda, and I got them combined by a watchsmith, who fitted the ARF dial, crystal and bezel to the Noob. He shaved the crystal gasket and serviced the 4130 movement.Today it’s impossible to have a genuine Daytona.
so I am looking for on how to have it with raisonnable price.
The Noob is the one that already has a "true" clone movement, so its case would accommodate a gen movement. The ARF has the a7750 movement, which isn't a clone. The internal dimensions of the case are different, so it won't accommodate a gen movement (as far as I know - but I'm by no means an expert on the subject).My idea was to buy a noob or arf replica and put inside genuine movement.
About exterior aspect, is the noob or the arf closer than genuine?

Let's not jump to conclusions regarding the OP's motives for the enquiry - although I agree that it's hard not to take this view when someone suggests they're interested in whether a franken would fool a Rolex employee...idk man, this whole thing stinks.
Are you trying to pass it as genuine in order to sell it as genuine? i can't really see any other reason for your questions about the rolex watchsmith.

A genuine mouvement it’s approximately 5k€.
if I change the part to have a perfect copy it will cost 2k€. So I prefer to add 3k€ and have genuine movement. Today a genuine Daytona cost 20k€ so for about 6k€ I can have it.
