I just looked on DHGate.com and this guy advertises a Noob Factory 4130 movement in his watch for $298 plus $9 shipping. https://www.dhgate.com/product/men-s-green-black-panda-dial-v4-version-wristwatches/683649185.html

Like the 3xxx clone movements, the 4xxx clone movements all come from Noob and others dirty and dry. For the price TT quoted just for the movement, that will also come to you dirty and dry, rebuy the watch or current version. And yes all the clones movements are the same. There are two major versions/factories. SA an VR clones. VR clones are the better 3/4xxx. The current state of reps with clone movements gives you 4 choices, 3 if you want a modern Daytona with more accurate case. Buy an ETA based rep whenever possible. You can always swap in a Swiss quality movement. (Not Daytona) Buy your 3/4xxx clone. Cross your fingers, wear it till it breaks or wear only on special occasions. (These are not a daily driver IMHO) Buy your 3/4xxx clone based and service it. Buy TWO. Buy a backup. If the Rolex rep really speaks to you. Just buy a spare. Unless you you can do #3 yourself, #2 and #4 are your best bet. 😕 BTW. You can find the movements on eBay most of the time. I had a 3136 clone GMT implode in a Noob, bought a replacement movement on eBay. Here is one for an outrageous $550 on eBay. https://www.ebay.com/itm/N4130-movement-for-daytona-chronograph-function-new-/313486479556 The 3xxx clones go between $120-$200. VRs at a premium over SAs Edit to add. Yuki started the clone movements trend, and I am not sure if his stands alone or is/influenced the SA VR versions. ?
