Not gonna be mass produced. Maybe we’ll see a small expensive production by a modding factory something like the ace 240/324 movements

A non TD already upgraded a second balance wheel with this movement into a white gold cnc case. So second balance wheel is possible.
^ actually now that I compare it looks gen to me. Can an expert confirm? @legend
Any link or contact of this non td?

I would not consider myself expert but that is pretty close to gen from my eyes. That is a phenomenal job and with the different case and bezel on that it is much better for accurate proportions.
Love the artistry of this watch and the rep looks great. The only thing holding me back is the balance wheel on the front. To go to all the detail in the creation of this watch, why not attempt to design a balance wheel that is similar? Still gorgeous!
It’s just too expensive for them to bother. The watch wouldn’t be priced near the 500$ it is now. Thats why there are custom factories making these mods for the people that care and want to spend the money on it
Good point. Possible upgrade in the future as I'm sure there were thousands of these wheel left to use from previous designs. If I could locate a gen wheel, I'd upgrade this and that would be it. Not to fool others, but that I'm picky...lol.
We need more information on this Non TD modification and pricing. I am impressed they were able to change the shape and dimension of the case as well as add second balance wheel.
The case does not appear as White gold in the picture above but perhaps the faux diamond bezel is White gold?

The is the gen 15407. Not only does this watch have the two balance wheels, but it's also free sprung. The skeletonized movement is different, as well. Look at the jewel holes above the 5 o'clock marker - gen has 4 holes there, rep movement has 3.

With the V2 details and changes I broke down today and placed an order for the stainless version. I suspect that the Non TD mentioned above with gen pics won't be able to get the item he claims to be able to find. But maybe I am wrong so let's see what happens. For the mean while I am pretty happy with the V2, just need to think about case shape in the future as an update for V3. I have my doubts about that as well but hopefully am wrong and they make V3 with better geometry case and perfect would be to have double balance of course.
Just my humble opinion, but a V3 should focus on getting the correct balance wheel. That to me is the most distracting aspect of the rep. That said, I'm still pulling the trigger on a black ceramic v2

i personally don't want a $1500 rep of this with a free sprung balance. just my 2c. at that point i'd just go get something else instead.
