Well, the 4801 until now has been the bane of Rolex for mid range fakes but sugess has been using it for their Daytona homages and the results seem to be good with accuracy under 10 SPD.

im seeing these two movements, both seem to be Rolex 4130 clones,

From what i can Tell, the Dandong factory made 7750 clones for Peacock which is part of the Seagull group

so they are basically different tentacles of the same octopus,

they both cost more or less the same, you´re going to be spending around 400-500€,
