Clone 4130 movement

[MrFresh]

Good morning experts and big fans of the rep.
I was looking for information but I couldn't find much, who could explain a little about the a4130 clone movement? It is for a Daytona and I was finding out that the clone is 4130 is the best option. And I wanted to know that the previous times I have bought Daytonas, they lose their winding very quickly and the time is set back, the chronograph is terrible. So how good or bad is the 4130 clone movement? How long is this movement delayed? (I mean, if the time is delayed) How long does the automatic winding last?

It is for a Daytona

and I was finding out that the clone is 4130 is the best option.

And I wanted to know that the previous times I have bought Daytonas, they lose their winding very quickly

Could be bad build quality or bad luck... Or both. Considering that the previously used movement was the A7750, most likely both.

and the time is set back,

Please elaborate. Not sure what that means.

the chronograph is terrible.

Please elaborate. Not sure what that means.

So how good or bad is the 4130 clone movement?

It’s considered one of the great quantum leaps of recent times in replicas: A true chronograph clone of the real thing. It's quite good, actually ...

How long is this movement delayed?

Please elaborate. Not sure what you mean by "delayed".

(I mean, if the time is delayed)

Still not clear...

How long does the automatic winding last?

This can be easily researched. There's a massive ton of data on this movement in plenty of threads. Sorry, but I don't know this detail and to be honest, I don't feel like looking up this info for you when you can easily do this yourself.

Please elaborate. Not sure what that means.

I appreciate your help, I mean the time is delayed. That is to say, I have already bought watches before with Joshua and at Trusty. to be more specific the daytona models. These have all arrived very badly for me, the time is delayed, that is, if I calibrate the time at 3pm on the daytona clone and also the time on my cell phone, after 24 hours on the daytona it is 2:50 pm and on my cell phone at 3pm. That's why I'm a little afraid, I was looking for and trying options from suppliers and at different prices. Now I read somewhere that the 4130 movement is the best option for the Daytona.

 

[MrFresh]

Please elaborate. Not sure what that means.

And also in the chronographs, perhaps as you say, I had very bad luck, almost all the chronographs that I have received are of very poor quality. The buttons seem to be better done with a hammer . I am currently thinking about buying one more Daytona and losing a little fear but this time with the 4130 movement and I am going to order it from AMF FACTORY I saw that they are a new dealer on the forum and I am going to trust again. I hope I don't fall into depression later because their watches are a little more expensive than the others I've already bought.

That may due either to insufficient winding/charge or simply bad luck. Usually, if you wind your watch 30-40 times before wearing for a day in the morning, set the watch aside for the night and pick it up the next morning it should be fine. If it looses 10 minutes per day there may very well be some problem. What kind of quality Daytonas did you purchase previously? What movements? Clean and BTF Daytonas have very solid movements, you shouldn't have a problem there.

It's my fault because I didn't even bother to see what movement it was before, I thought movement 77## was the movement for the Daytona (for example, movement 1234 is the movement for the Datejust and movement 5678 is the movement for the sky -dweller) don't tell me much. And well, if you ask me about the movements of the old watches that I have, I don't even know what they are. I don't want to talk about which brand is bad because I don't know if all of them are that bad or some more than others.

Well, modern Daytona reps house 4130 movements. Rep factories source movements from different movement factories. I see that APSF come with either VR or SH (-4130), while Clean and BTF use SA 4130. I'm not an expert, but VR does excellent date-movements, so not sure how their Chrono is. SH has not a stellar reputation, but movements have become better in the last couple of years, so maybe they're good. If you head to the Rolex section there's a sticky thread solely dedicated to rep movements found in Rolex reps, I advise to read that and make a decision. Not advise, I recommend, as I said I'm not an expert and what I said above may not be completely right.

Consider Daytona Models from BTF or Clean Factory. They are both using 4130 Clones and are high end Daytona reps. ZF has also recently released new Daytonas with a new SH4130 movement that is also apparently on par with the DD4130 (though long term evidence is not yet available for the SH).

I believe there was a bit of a discount from some of the TD’s on Clean Daytona’s for February (be aware that CNY will delay any orders right now)…

I have a BTF 116500 and could not be happier with its quality. StevetheOne did very detailed comparisons between Gen/BTF/Clean.

Looking to get a 116503 or 116520 next.

Good luck!

^^^see what I was saying, I'm not an expert and I have a bad brain for numbers and acronyms...

 

[eBoy]

@MrFresh, I'm putting my signature under everything in @Feefo's (minus the fucked up numbers and acronyms ) and @ZMCoupe's statements.

Any additional drivel from me would be unqualified half-knowledge anyway, as Rolex isn't really "my fav brand".

I'm more of an Omega Man.

I need help. I am looking to buy a daytona rep and decided on clean 116500LN instead of 1126500. Mainly because I think dd4130 movement is more reliable than the new sh4131. However when I ordered, the rep told me that the clean 116500 has A4130 movement. Is this not a 7750 type movement? Please help me to understand. Thanks

1126500

We are finally entering the 7-digit Daytona era.

the rep told me that the clean 116500 has A4130 movement. Is this not a 7750 type movement

Your rep can talk? That's a present surprise.

4130 is Rolex 4130 movement, 7750 is ETA/Valjoux 7750, a completely different movement. You are comparing basketball to football. You have been here longer than me, what have you read?

I understand the difference. However this A4130 sh4130 DD4130 is confusing and the rep called it A4130 that confused me

Which factory did you choose?
