Yes I definitely think so. The same modification made for the gen to turn one caliber into another can be done for the rep. They are based on the same movement.

New AP 26240 with 4401 Super Clone movement is coming

sounds like the soft iron case is not thick enough... might need to change to lead casing

I’d argue the 50mm lug to lug (at least for the 15400) definitely makes it look more substantial than a 41mm from another brand. I have a couple 41mm AP reps and they wear much larger than my friends gen Overseas or Day Date IIJFTR, I dare to disagree, since 41mm is the size of the case, not the dial. Personally I own a whole bunch of watches in the range from 40mm up to 44mm and would still consider this 41mm watch average.

If it helps to see how it looks on the wrist, this is an old 26331 with 7750 that I had modified @legend to reduce the thickness.
It is still a 41mm on a wrist of about 18cm (7”). I would say it looks great

Some movement shots
finishing is great! In my opinion and experience with gen ro, its good enough
I would say it is, same base caliber just different layout, the big work is done.

Just got my ceramic in and I'm loving it, but be advised all the gaskets are absolutely dry as hell from factory so I'd definitely get it serviced before you think of getting it wet. Haven't fully serviced the watch yet, just did a quick dial indices adjustment and a gasket lubrication. But the case back screwes were loose and gaskets dry as hell. So I can also imagine the rest of the movement could use lubrication as well.
It’s the wearer not the watch. Looks good on you.If it helps to see how it looks on the wrist, this is an old 26331 with 7750 that I had modified @legend to reduce the thickness.

Really interested to see, if you could do a full break down to service, that would be great. I don't trust my watch maker to service this movement without a cursory guide lolJust got my ceramic in and I'm loving it, but be advised all the gaskets are absolutely dry as hell from factory so I'd definitely get it serviced before you think of getting it wet.

The alignment of the indices is one of the aspects of this first batch that are bothering me. Were they easy enough to reposition with just the bezel/xtal removed and dial still attached? What type of tool did you use to twist them without damaging the plating?
My 9 index might be slightly off but I don’t care

I definitely plan to give it a full service after I run it through it's normal paces. For anyone interested in seeing a pretty good break down I highly recommend reading the deconstruction by TheNakedWatchmaker. I'll be using his deconstruction of a 11.59 with the 4401 as a good base point. https://www.thenakedwatchmaker.com/decon-audemars-piguet-chrono-cd1159
