Good evening ,

I hope you can understand everything.

I would like to buy a Submariner through puretimewatch.
--
Had this in mind all the time
--
1.Submariner 116610 LN Black Ceramic ZZF 904L 1: 1 Best Edition on SS Bracelet SA3135 V2
but now I read that the 3135 Movement is not so suitable. since it cannot be repaired in the event of damage. and the 2836 is better to repair .. or later exchange for an eta plant. Then I came across them.

2.Submariner 116610 LN Black Ceramic ZZF 904L 1: 1 Best Edition on SS Bracelet A2836
--
3.Submariner 114060 No Date Black Ceramic ZZF 904L 1: 1 Best Edition on SS Bracelet A3130 is a 2836 inside according to the description (I also like no date quite well) what surprises me now .. one is v2 the other is not .. there are other differences apart from the movement or hold this here ..
--
4.Submariner 116610 LN Black Ceramic ARF 1: 1 Best Edition 904L SS Case and Bracelet A2824 V3 but I was actually out on ZZF. which one should I take best?
--
hope someone can help me .. thank you

Welcome on RWI.

Reliability of a movement is one thing, other thing worth consideration is shape of a watch case.
If ceramic submariner has 3135 clone movement - case crown guards and crown height are pretty much the same as genuine case.
if it has Eta movement - crown height is different and crown guards shape is different too.
So you need to decide, whether you accepct slightly incorrect case, or you accept more risky movemnt.

First 3135 movements tend to die, true that. It's been few years since then and I think right now it is pretty safe to buy a replica with cloned 3135.
Personally I would chose ZZF with VR3135 movement (though Puretime might called it SA3135 V2 or something like that).
