Hi All - so I need some help please from those with experience with 3135 movements.
I sent off my Franken to a local watchsmith for a service as it was losing 40 seconds a day. My Franken is all gen everything except for JF midcase, including a gen Rolex 3135 movement I bought here on m2m some time ago.
Anyway, the watchsmith tore it down and called me back saying he thought the mainplate looked "weird" and he had never seen a gen 3135 Rolex with an undecorated movement. I trust his judgement as he is well credentialed but I wanted to ask here also what you guys think? He also noted there were 6 screws missing in the movement (no big deal they can be replaced?) but he also noted all the other parts seemed pretty new (and he implied genuine).
First pic is a pic of my mainplate during service, the second pic is another 3135 mainplate he had that was fully decorated (and gen).
