New AP 26240 with 4401 Super Clone movement is coming

[serumdiesel]

anyone leave the chrono running during full use of the watch? i kept the chrono running for two days and the large chrono hand and seconds hand aren't synchronized. good power reserve on this movement for sure though.

Bro I can definitely see you like to live dangerously.

i mean, watches are meant to be used. i leave the chrono running on the daytona too. if it breaks, just buy a new one, it's relatively cheap compared to what it is trying to represent.

I’ve left mine running for about 3/4 hours max so far I believe… I’ve used the chrono ALOT though. It’s still working great so far. But it’s only been like 4 days. So, we’ll months of use!
BUT, If it’s truly a vertical clutch, then there shouldn’t be any wear/tear to the movement. But please don’t take my word for it. I don’t know how similar this is to the gen movement.
I know my Sugess top chronometer has the 4130 movement and there’s no issue with leaving the chrono running and it’s a Chinese movement with vertical clutch/column wheel

yea, after the first day it still looks to be syncd, the second day is when i noticed they weren't running at the same rate....i keep it running like a running seconds hand the entire time it is wound.

Just spitballing here, but I wonder if there is some slippage in the vertical clutch assembly.

Maybe one day I will have enough balls to try and service mine. The mechanical inner workings truly fascinate me.

Thanks for being a guinea pig for us and testing chrono durability.

Agreed with this. I encourage @mgberns to stress test the shit out of it and keep us updated, and I thank him for his service.🫡

If i had to bet any money it would be the repetitive action of flyback reset that would cause major issues. That's usually weak point of chronos. Just speaking out of my asa

Oh wow! I saw this package on C24. Good get! Sure you don't want to sell one of your other gen dials?

Great pictures!! Can’t wait for the Chinese holiday to finish!

 

[elusive1]

I wonder if it’d be worth putting a 2x AR crystal on these. The tapisserie is so gorgeous, I don’t want it to be hidden by glare haha

...i just now noticed how terrible the screws on the case are.....

 

[KGZ]

Got mine and got blown away….

Blue dial should get there soon hopefully. I held off on the ceramic until after CNY to see if they’ll fix the issue…

It's pricey (as usual) and I think it's getting more and more expensive.

I thought he was talking about his gen daytona, not reps.

Well, I'll share some stories I heard from people I know who has done the same, the gen obviously is much better but they had to service their watches a lot sooner than the recommended 10 years.
At worst some damages and worn out parts had to be replaced.

Again, this is on a gen daytona. On an RO itd be worse.

On a rep.....

I saw this dial. It’s not for the steel model it’s for the gold one. The reference is 26240 OR
