Thoughts on why no Cartier Roadster Chronograph?

[TmeShare]

I am interested in the members opinions as to why no Cartier Roadster Chronograph has been replicated. It appears to me that the size of the case would allow a Valjoux 7750 movement to be used. The constant seconds subdial location really is not a consideration as we know from the variousAP Royal Oak Chronographs!!

Thoughts?

Many reasons really. The gen movement is similar to the daytona which means rep makers don't have any movement thin enough to put in a 1:1 rep case. That is the same problem with the daytona, the case is to thick. I believe a rep maker already bought a gen chrono roadster but since the move is not something they can rep with the current asain 7750, it's been shelved. I would be first in line to buy it if the makers ever decided to make a quality version.

Roadster is powered by the 2894. Subdial spacing, pusher position, and seconds position would all be instant tells in a 7750 version.

In accurate sub dial position has never stopped them in the past.. I don't understand why they don't just make a regular asian 7753 based version. Way more people will buy it than will notice the incorrect sub dial.
