New AP 26240 with 4401 Super Clone movement is coming

[nicolasry]

Very nice ! What was the price of this build?

Around 20k (including gen strap/clasp/plots)

I know some members swear that they can tell the difference about 1m away but I’m not as talented.

most likely those members are bullshitting themselves
I can also swear than if those members were not told which is gen and which is rep, they would not be able to call it at 1m

Of course.

But also realize that there are many here that couldn't give a shit about ever owning a gen AP.

Anyone manage to source the rotor with updated font separately from their TD? Looks like I got the old one with sans serif vs gen's serif

Everything after Chinese new year has the updated font. You got the old stock. It took my TD a month to get it, because he wasn’t a preferred TD.

The same here…

@puretime is giving me the run around for my replacement (Replacing cracked ceramic for SS) for over a month. Saying the 26240 is in back order from factory. Any one have any insight on the situation especially those who have recently placed an order with Puretime or other TDs?

Don’t know if this could be useful to you or anyone else that faced issues with the crackings, but I used a black ceramic as donor watch for the movement in my green build, so have the spare ceramic case and bracelet laying around.

The power reserve seems fine to me. It lasts much longer than the AP skeleton

Yes, power reserve is quite good, and the rotor seems to wind properly from normal movement - even starts the watch from a dead stop after sitting awhile vs. needing some good winding to reawaken.

You are going to be a popular man, lol

Is best to stay away from ceramic
I believe ceramic quality is worse than the gen ceramic

Dang. So are people who bought early SOL?

I would doubt this, however I'm sure the current capacity and parts are devoted to production and sales. Support will probably come after.

I‘ve tried to find the solution in this thread, but weren‘t successfull.
How do you resize the solid steel version. It appears as if the braclet had screws, bit even my smallest screwdriver can‘t fit in it.

I‘ve read the ce version has push pins only - is this the vase with the ss version aswell?

You need 1.4mm screwdriver for AP if I remember correctly.

Nevermind it‘s screws and push pins

Sourcing a part is extremely expensive. Probably not worth the cost. So pretty much out of luck.

I wasn’t expecting the new font rotor either. Just happened due to my TD not being “preferred” for the early release so he didn’t have 30 watches to sell before CNY.

I had to wait more than a month for it to come through. When it did, wow new rotor!

Expensive as in up to a few hundred $$ or almost the cost of the watch?
