ACE 4131 New Movement

[kikata1997]

Reposting from reddit, credits to user Grilzair. Very excited about this one and the free spring.
Expected price: 1650$ (according to seller popup)
Google translated text:
ACE Studio’s latest customised 4131 movement
1.Splint 3D modeling, five-axis CNC carving.
2.The lines of the Swiss hand-polishing process.
3.CNC automatic tuo, rounded corners, lettering delicate three-dimensional.
4.The latest research and development has exclusive cardless accuracy, and on the basis of the correction of the appearance, the stability has also been greatly improved, and the error is small and high!

Looks nice! Stock photos showcase the improvement.

But then on second thought, if I change the complete rotor (mainly for the engraved plate) and the complete balance, I can have something better than this with not much higher price. At least with a gen rotor and balance.

Ok but why when I can buy a gen 4130 for 4k?

Also this means the Chinese will soon be doing it too

Can't wait.

Where did you see a gen 4130 for 4k? Genuine question

Every watch parts site that sells used movements.

Latest I saw was tswisst, 2018 movement for 4300€

Granted i'm not the most knowledgable on this topic, but I've never seen one for less than 7-8K euros.

You do understand pricing online do you not?

A 116520 is on chrono for 19-20k, in dealer groups it comes up for 13-14k

Yes I do but even with that kept in mind I've never seen anything close to 4K, where did you see it?

Don't take it personally, like I said it's a genuine question.

Never seen a gen 4130 so cheap but tbf i never looked for one. The few frankens with gen 4130 i saw here had a much higher cost in their price break down. But anyways this ACE release is a 4131.

No worries no offense taken

As I said for example tswisst

Rolex Daytona Werk 4130 – T SWISS T – The Missing Piece

www.tswisst.de

This was 4300€ I believe, was posted earlier this year
Has no history though, so could be from 2007

I do agree on the 6k for a replacement movement that is brand new, fresh and never used like this one

Rolex 4130 (Chrono Daytona)

Rolex Ersatzteile 4130 Chr0nograph

www.uhrenersatzteile.com

But those are non-used, fresh from Rolex HQ.

Used ones go for a lot cheaper.

Gotcha, I mean there's always going to be crazy deals like that, I think it would be fair to say that a 4130 movement typically goes for ALOT more than that though no?

As for the ACE4131, I mirror the thoughts from above, a gen balance assembly and rotor on a DD4131 seems preferable to me.
But if they can perfectly mimic all engravings, the balance and the chronoenergy escape, seems like a decent idea!

That movement is missing a few pieces, is that how it comes from Rolex?

Thanks for sending these two sites, they have some good prices on stuff!

Look at that, all this time I thought you were British because of your teeth. You're just east German. Nice.

What is the target market for a straight movement? Will factories be building watches around them or are people buying bare movements and putting them in clean/etc 126500 reps?
