Is there a replacement that I can get for my v6 sub. I need a new stem for the sa3135 movement. Does any other movements stem fit?

Are there any longer stems that could fit if I filed it down?

Check on Esslinger.com. They have an assortment of Chinese movement stems.

here are pictures of the stems. The sa3135 is the obvious broken one...then. Sa 3135 vs gen 3135. You can see the difference...last compare to gen and 2836 I believe.

I ask again the same question : wasn't the SA3135 a 2836 with different look?

The dealers use confusing overlapping terms. An A3135 is a decorated 2836. The SA3135 from noob is a true clone movement of the rolex 3135. The unfortunate issue is very few parts are made to be compatible with the gen, so even basic issues like this can leave you dead in the water with no replacement parts available. Also, noob is not usually willing to sell replacement parts. This is in contrast to the SH 3135 which pretty much every part save for the mainplate and balance is compatible with gen

Yes, depending on where it broke...you can see in the picture that I did just that. Unfortunately for me I needed just a little more clearance.

Good try, I don't have any SA3135's so I didn't notice that was an extender there. Shame a whole watch can be brought down by a 5 cent threaded pipe.

What's the point of not selling the parts? To sell another watch?!
Of course only the makers can reply...
Many thanks to you too Rx4Time , as usual, great knowledge here...

Best I can tell this is exactly why. Same issue with the noob CHS movement. One little spring which snaps if you turn the hour hand anticlockwise and your done. Of course, it's a custom piece and they will not sell the parts or the movement separately.

One bit of encouraging news is I was speaking recently with a another member, who I'll not name for now, about the new SA4130. His initial impression was extremely positive and he told me that it was very well built and mostly interchangeable with genuine components. If this is accurate, which I have no reason to doubt him, then it's exciting because I now have a second superclone movement I would actually buy. I refuse to buy ones where I cannot source replacement parts.
