The movement picture is definitely of a gen movement. Given how finicky the gen movement is, I wouldn't hold my breath, but still it would be a huge deal for the rep community.
The frenzy is due to the anticipation. The rep game has rewired my brain to actually enjoy the wait. Doubt I'm the only one.
Do you think it's a gen movement?

If I recall, these are not "final" movement photos but just WIP. So building the movement they are still using gen parts such as gen backplate and rotor.
I mean that's a good thing right? Having gen parts on top of it means they're interchangable with gen, a true clone, not a"homage" clone like the A4308?
I'm not movement expert so I cannot say
I'll be surprised if they are able to build a true (1:1) clone movement. I'm expecting a design clone what 3KF and PPF managed to accomplish with their Patek 324 and 240 clones, respectively.

the most important thing for me is the thickness, if it will be like the gen I will definitely buy it
I want the fantasy dials of the 38mm. AP has so many editions and piece uniques , no one would notice. Especially this one. White panda blue subdials.

This release is only for the new 41 models or for the new Offshores.I want the fantasy dials of the 38mm. AP has so many editions and piece uniques , no one would notice. Especially this one. White panda blue subdials.
38mm ROC still uses the old thinner movement, maybe you can find custom dials but for the 41mm.

Good get. The intro of this will no doubt inflate the gen dial market!

But I need to be schooled. That dial isn't for a 26240 is it? The date window seems to far to the edge.
*I am now schooled. I was going off a sample set of one dial on ebay that was listed as a 26240 but the date window was closer to the centre. It was obviously incorrectly listed and I fell for it*
