after almost a month I'm getting more and more impatient... unfortunately I'm not an expert in AP chronos. could someone go into more detail about chronos in reps? I think I understood that at the moment there is nothing similar to the gen. I really hope that the sh4401 can create an optimal development point for a 26240st. @legend do you think there is hope for a good chrono or should we stay on the 15500? I'm impatient for my first AP rep and I want the 15500 White APSF in the meantime...

Then why don’t you get the 15500 first to scratch the AP itch and then wait for the chrono release?

Imho RO and ROC are two different types of watches and neither can replace the other.

yes indeed I think I'll do that, maybe I'll be able to resist and wait for 26240st with sh4401. in the meantime there's no chrono that's worth pulling the trigger, right @legend?

It’s great news that they are repping these complicated movements within Patek and AP. A lot of progress has been made from the times, where clone movements were in dreams only.

I’ll definitely buy one.

No AP chrono rep currently which is worth buying, IMHO. Patience is key. Remember the inaugural release may not even be up to par.

Not at the moment. There’s a thread in the Patek section about the perpetual calendar movement.
Also there’s the 5712 with the moonphase, power reserve, date. Which is a big leap forward.
An AP Chrono will be a step forward as well.
Thanks for confirming.
I have 5726 and have been lurking around 26574 thread for a year now. Time will get us there someday.
