How realistic is it to expect a stock double balance wheel version in the future? Feasible or simply too costly for a rep?
It is possible to modify the 3120 movement to have a double balance wheel. It will be functional but not very reliable in the long run.

Yep! I’ve seen it done, just curious how likely it is for the factories to start implementing them on a potential V3.
Nobody will be able to answer that sir but independent vendors are already doing that now. I’m working with 1-2 of them to try to make the movement better in terms of reliability.
I was talking about the current double balance wheel movement. It’s not the most reliable compared with say the 3120 and 4302 clones.

Like the Chrono CE, can we assume there'll be breakage issues with the bracelet?
THB Factory will finally be releasing their AP Royal Oak 15416CE Ceramic Openworked with their skeleton clone 3132 movement.
Samples are not released yet, but factory has leaked the information to me first so share with you guys. =)
You can pre-order it first.

I gather it’s the same manufacturer who makes the cases and ceramic bracelets

Probably not I assume they got a big order from both factories to supply until those run out
I have the APSF ceramic perpetual calendar and had no issues the only complaint the links are held via pin the newer construction what I have seen is more of a screw post which I theory is better and easier to adjust
The pin is a nightmare to deal with and I experienced a link crack at the edge while trying to pull the pin out
Is that a rep? Confused xDHere are a couple of detailed photos of the watch from different angles, so you can get an better idea of the level of quality and attention to detail. Pretty awesome for the price I think.

Modders in china charging 9k usd for double balance mod.
@legend
Can you please say if these are achievable at lower costs ? Or did they just throw gen pics to say is modded ? I really don’t have the expertise on APs. But would wear this gladly with that mod.

9K.... I feel like they are over reaching.

Living the rep world for many years every time I get a watch they will come out with another version
Now after getting SS RG and frosted the maker will release V2 double balance wheel upgrade and I have to go thru it all over again and buy the new version and sell off the previous version for a fraction of what I paid
Law of averages
