It’s not repped. Most ROC reps are not really good as most (except crazy high value Frankens) are using the 7750 movement which makes the whole thing very thick.

This is one of my grail watches but I don't think it will ever be rapped in that size .

My grail (well the 26315 white/blue dial is) and I can say it is one watch I may just pursue in gen because the rep is never happening.

If a manufacturer uses a quartz movement, a 38mm chrono can easily and quickly be developed. Sales may not be that great though because it won't have a mechanical movement.

Close to the design and dimensions of the 26315, is the 26231 chronograph designed for ladies. The pictured below is an inexpensive DHGate 26231. The seller, Timeop, said it has a diameter of 37mm and thickness of 12mm which is close to the gen 26231. It features a VK67 quartz movement. Something to consider until a 26315 is developed, which may be awhile.

The R in RWI stand for replica, that's what this forum is all about. No replica will be even close to a gen, there will always be flaws, no matter how well the rep is made. This is something you should already know.

Would be amazing to get a 26315 rep, not sure why they're not available as we have 26331 reps and I believe they use the same 1185 movement too

My simple and possibly false theory is that making 40(+) mm automatic chrono rep is much easier for the factories than producing smaller ones. We can thank God that Rolex is so popular that Chinese makers took the trouble of reverse engineering and cloning of the Rolex 4130 movement. Fortunately A775X clones were also made for a workhorse of a few medium/large sized automatic chrono reps.
