I doubt the usage of 904L but would be happy to be wrong. The so called 4130 clone (which in my eyes isn't a clone at all...it's just another decorated asian movement...the SH3135 or the Yuki movement is a clone since it's able to take gen parts!) is a downturn for me.

I was waiting some month for this movement and if it would have been a real clone like the SH313x movements I'd take it even when it would not have been clear if it's reliable or not.

But a 7750 without chrono function doesn't make any sense for me. If thickness would've been something I care about I would've taken a JF with 23j movement. But for me the function is more important. At the end it's a watch for me and I like my watches to function as they are planned to. I doubt that anyone is able to see that the rep Daytona on my wrist is thicker than a gen and therefore easy to spot as a rep. The only ones who are able to spot this are, and I'm pretty confident about that, part of our rep community

I think for some people, myself included, it's not about the looks, it's about how it feels on the wrist. 15mm and 12mm do make a difference especially if it's a watch you wear a lot. But I agree that it's not worth it for just a modified 7750 if you're a person who values fully functional chrono.

The 4130 copy is just a 7750 with date module taken out for thinner size. Secs at 6 works, and chronograph seconds works, but not chronograph minutes or hours. This is still 1mm thicker than gen, but much better than 15mm of all the current working chrono 7750 Daytona reps.

If the bezel numbers and dial are up to the same quality as BP Daytona, I'm definitely buying this rep to use until Noob's 4130 clone comes out.
