Thank you for a very detailed and informative write up, greatly appreciated! And also thanks for including the terminology, was very confusing at first

Great reading ...I'm fairly new to this and have been frightened to ask these kind of questions because of the responses they get....in fact I've stayed away from Rolex reps because of this and spent my time on other brands where the choices are easier.....I have a question you guys may be able to help....I'm led to believe one if the biggest tells in a sub ...is that when you adjust the time clockwise rotation of the crown the time goes down(anti-clockwise)....with the 3135 clone is this now the same as the gen?? ...as in clockwise the hours go up....

Welcome Newbuyer. I'm glad you found it helpful. I've never owned any 3135 movement. I've read that the yuki 3135 winds same direction as gen, but I don't know about the stock sa3135. I'm sure [MENTION=83013]smoke[/MENTION] could enlighten us

My gen 16600 rotates clockwise when the crown is rotated clockwise.

That's ironically funny
I always manually wind my watches 40 times initially
Then I set the time to 6:27ish
Then I set the date to the day prior
Then set time to current time (date advances to current day)
Then I push in the crown to wind position
...And, finally I wind it 10 more times
Then screw down crown.

V6s had better SEL. V7 has better insert and bezel feel. Swings and roundabouts. You'll only find v6s on m2m these days.

This is great information. I'm pretty handy so I think I will have some fun tackling this myself soon.

Great service to the public making a thread like this mate. Definitely something many of us have asked ourselves and many have asked the board.

Fabulous post!!

Might be good to mention that, especially for those of us here in CONUS, TC and BK are USA based.
