Hi guys.

Bit of help needed from the experts/pros.

To cut a long story short, I have a Franken sub with what I believe to be the SH3135 datewheel fitted in it, rather than a GEN datewheel?

To confuse things further there is also a VR3135 (which I THINK is photo B?)?

One of these 3 photos SHOULD be a gen. One is a VR and one is an SH but I don’t know which is which?!

Can anyone kindly help from these 3 photos please? (Sorry, best I can do with iPhone camera).

A bit more info - photo “A” datewheel is not as bright white as photo “B”, ie a bit “creamier”

X3 Photos A, B and C to follow:

Your pics are out of focus with not very good lighting.

It's definitely not C, that's for certain.

Probably A.

Here is a side by side of A and B.

B is a brighter white than A.

A is more of a creamy white in comparison to B.

It’s A. The date wheel on B is the current VR’s datewheel. As you can spot the teeths are not fully colored, and the tinny space at the outter date wheel is again, not colored. Also look at the texture on each print. The genuine printing is more pop-out in crisp and clear. Compares to the one on B’s (which is VR’s is also a “next to the best” options for date wheel at this moment) but the text printing is not as crips as the genuine ( in this case A). At the fast glance, you cant tell but if you put it in the loupe, it’s date and night different. C, to me, look like an old SH 3135 bold date-wheel that JF and ARF uses for their rep. As the printing is not crisp, but rather bold and precision less.

Well said. I don't think A is real either. The font is way too thick. I think its an Ebay rep that I have seen floating around. Flip it and lets see the back of (A).

Like stated above, the (B) is a VR, heck its still in the VR movement with the test hour hand on it. The (C) is a terrible copy, most likely the SH or the normal date lay over.

Maybe this will help. A comparison of 3135 rep dw's to Gen dw. Compares Yuki, SHv1, SHv2, SA/Noob, WSO (ebay), Gen. Unfortunately no VR for comparison.
