In the world of high-end replica watches, one movement stands out as a benchmark for precision and realism—the 4130 Super Clone movement, used in top-tier Rolex Daytona replica watches. For enthusiasts and collectors alike, this clone movement is more than just a mechanical mimic; it represents a milestone in replica horology.

The original Rolex 4130 is a fully in-house automatic chronograph movement, introduced in 2000 and famed for its reliability, column wheel mechanism, and extended 72-hour power reserve. It replaced the earlier Zenith-based movement in the Daytona line and is considered one of Rolex’s most efficient calibers to date.

So, what makes the Super Clone 4130 impressive?

First, unlike generic movements like the A7750, the 4130 clone isn’t a superficial copy. It’s engineered to mimic the genuine 4130 layout, including the correct subdial spacing and chronograph functionality. In other words, it doesn’t just look right—it works right. The central chronograph seconds hand sweeps smoothly, while the subdials at 3, 6, and 9 o’clock function almost identically to the real thing.

Factories like Noob and, more recently, Clean Factory, have mastered the cloning of this movement. The best versions even replicate the rotor engraving, bridge architecture, and gear train positioning of the original 4130. To the untrained eye—and even to some trained ones—it’s virtually indistinguishable.

Another key aspect is the integrated chronograph module. Unlike older replica chronographs that rely on modular builds (stacking parts on top of the main movement), the 4130 clone uses a unified design, reducing wear and ensuring smoother pusher action.

Moreover, the power reserve on the super clone version is typically 60–70 hours, and the timekeeping deviation is often within ±10 seconds per day—performance that rivals some entry-level Swiss automatics.

Of course, not every 4130 clone is created equal. Poorly assembled versions may suffer from stuttering seconds hands or misaligned pushers. But when sourced from trusted factories like Noob, the super clone Rolex Daytona becomes a marvel of engineering in its own right.
