Guys

I’m happy to answer your questions as I see it as natural curiosity. Please kindly allow me to answer it in 2 parts

1. From the pics I think the rep 26240CE looks pretty good. I like it myself. Of course there are small flaws but I don’t wish to magnify them disproportionately just because I have the gen.

2. I will be receiving 3 samples of the clone 26240CE ordered by members here and which will be sent to me for modding and service. I will be sending them comparo pics of the gen vs rep and my notes for their reference. If one of them wishes, he can post the pics and make the comparisons public for everyone to learn.

For what it’s worth at this moment, I think APSF did a very good job and I’m happy with the release. It is not 1:1 but it is accurate where it matters.
How much will you do the service and mod? Thanks~

Oof that thing is a thiccc boi. Looks like a A7750 version of the 26331 🤣.

Yeah I think I'll stick to my frankens of the 26331. Don't get me wrong, this is a great rep for the money but not a fan how of fat it is.

It’s as thick as a Daytona, I am a big fan of 26331 and have 2 gens, but this is not by any means a thick watch…

Maybe it's the angle of the photo but that looks much thicker. Could also be case, bezel ratios. Mid case and bezel take most of the thickness.

I agree, I'm being a bit dramatic but it is clearly thicker than my 26331 visually so it caught me off guard. Wouldn't think 1.5mm would make that much of a difference. Either way awesome release.

Maybe it just picture look like that? Because I see there are misurement pic shows is 12mm something.

Why all the trolling? Part of the nice thing across RWI is that the level of jerkiness is normally pretty well self capped. This is a great thread about an actual innovation. One that we can actually check in with a guy who not only has an iconic collection but who also is superb with actually modifying these watches to the next level. So let’s stop being a dick and maybe focus on these superb cloning efforts!

@legend. In your vast experience of working with watches, is there a specific tool you would recommend over others for sizing the ceramic bracelet?

Im a buy once, cry once type of guy. So ideally whichever tool you recommend, price wouldn't be a top consideration.

Thanks brother.
