Nvm just saw you said both CE and ST are gen.
Yes both gen I thought you wanted the weights of the gens as reference. I don’t think the APSF 26240s are available yet :ROFLMAO:

You can see the weights of the ceramic and steel models are relatively close. A titanium model of the same watch would be closer to 100g+ (assuming only a case and bracelet weight difference as titanium is about 40% lighter than steel but movement, dial, hands etc are identical) and so the ceramic weight will be closer to steel.

Bit surprised by the only 20g weight difference
I haven’t weighed them but my ceramic diver “feels” closer in weight and wears similar to my Ti diver than the beastly SS one.

The ceramic materials used by the gen and rep could be different in density and quality even if they look very similar or even identical. I don’t think the weight difference between the gen and rep ceramic would be a concern as long as the weights are in the same bracket.

I think nobody can say that at the moment. The Gen calibre itself is not the most reliable. As with all chronographs, you should not use the chronograph function and (hopefully) it will be somewhat reliable :D
That’s a wise statement Mr Brasi.

ehh apples to oranges. You can't compare a gen movement to this clone.


My thoughts exactly, but still.
May sell it, just probably won’t get the u$7675 I spent. 😢

Oh and I got that Cartier movement sealed 👌🏻

Price of Cartier Pashas have crashed overnight. I don't think as many 26331s will be built with this out. Unless you absolutely have your heart set on a panda dial.
