Sometimes those language translators sound like coded messages from WW2. Only thing I get is a Pam version with a sapphire crystal coming out plus a genuine AP movement which is funny...also stay away from the mouth of the alley :D

We need one of our Chinese speaking members to tell us the jist of it.

"I met the boss of ZF today. And he confirmed PAM 604 V2 with sapphire Crystal will be available in April.

The pricing with sapphire Crystal is out. You may pre-order now.

Also, I bumped into the boss of JF. And I confirmed with him again. AP3120 and AP chrono movement clone will be available in April.

Thanks everyone"

I wonder if by "clone" they mean "decorated." Remains to be seen.

If AP clone movement is out that finally fix the thickness and DW issues that will translates in 2 things:

1- an immediate deep discount on all our Roos basically they will be worth peanuts

2- an immediate 5k check to the Factories as one would HAVE TO get at least 5 real "Super reps APs..."

My 2 cts

If they make a good clone movement, I wonder what will happen to the Franken scene.

I wouldn't get excited on seeing full clone, last I heard it was fake plates.

Beside getting better movement, i would emphasize more on dial accuracy. Those are far more important to me, dont really care even if there are a few hamsters running my movement in the casing.

Movement plates all over again. Hahaha. I only pray the case won't be thicker. I can believe if they've cloned the 3120, but not the 3126.

Although I don't know how the DW works in the a7750 but I always wondered that if the DW position on the ROO can be fixed by a date wheel overlay... That would mean all new dials. Just wishful thinking I guess.

DW overlay isn't possible since there's little to no clearance.
