APW+ 26331 - Not 7750?
- Thread starter daytonadude
- Start date
I’m guessing we’ve discussed the thick as a tank OM made 26331?
Yes the OMF is more like OMG that is fat
But maybe APW brings something to the table?

It already exists as a CNC'd prototype with custom parts except for the gen 1185 movement. I have a high hope that some kind of slim rep caliber will be developed for it in 1-2 years.
I'd jump on this in a heartbeat if this moves beyond the prototyping stage, happy to build it with a Gen 1185 movement.

You can build it with a gen 1185 movement, and cnc parts. The prices have gotten slightly better since the release of the clone 4401.

I’ve done this build. It’s quite expensive. The FP1185 movement is ~$4k, and the custom CNC case is ~$2k. Then you have to get the custom dial, hands, and DW, etc. Adds up quickly. AMF did it for me. I’m sure Legend could do it if he has the bandwidth.
Thanks, might be worth it for the 38mm 26315. In the meantime will try a 26240 to see how I like the sizing before jumping in to something like that

do you know a dealer that sells this ? Because none of TDs and non TDs i've contacted have any idea about this release

I think even gen is thicker than 11.0 mm. Nevertheless, I'd be one of the happiest men in the world if it was true. Especially because there would be a good chance of getting a gen spec 38 mm ROC rep at an affordable price.

I just spoke to another seller, he confirmed this is a Dandong movement, and that photos aren’t yet available. I just don’t know what DD movement is a chronograph with a date function?
Let’s give it a few weeks. I’m cautiously optimistic.

It's another big news from the rep factories if it's true and fully functional including the chrono, the date and self-winding. In that case I think it would be the thinnest automatic chrono rep with date complication in the world.
If they keep doing this imma be broke before the year is over.
