Is it possible to move the coronet down? Haven't heard of anyone trying, would be willing to ask my watchmaker but not sure if possible at all.

I know this model, but I am waiting for the new datejust bracelet this bracelet comes with a 3135 movement.
My watchmaker has told me to stay away from 3135 and wait for a2836. I could buy the ARF bracelet, but prefer to wait and not have to pay for watch+bracelet. .

Do you have any idea of when this will be?

Its not the same 3135 that was previously in the watch its a SH which hasnt been problematic. I havent been able to find anyone with issues with the SH 3135 v2 only SA 3135. This watch probrobly wont ever come in a a2836 form and its miles ahead of the DJF.

I would have to argue with the ARF being "miles ahead" of the djf. The ARF datewheel is an instant callout, the dial color in blue is lighter than gen, and the "rhodium" plated bezel is said to wear off within months. The movement is also more difficult to fix and costs money to service right out of the gate. My DJF with arf jubilee has the main flaw of a right centered cyclops, and that's about it. Even found a member who can do a gen datewheel swap on the 2824 movement. Another member spent nearly $1100 on a franken arf while i have spent under half (345 for watch, 165 for bracelet). If you have the money, go arf. But if you want a very nice looking watch with a reliable movement go DJF.

Lovely watch, how is the jubilee bracelet and does the clasp of the bracelet stick out a bit?

I have both the oyster and jubilee bracelets and I have to say both are made very very high quality. The gap on the SEL is almost non-exist. The clap on the jubilee does stick out just a tiny tiny bit but it's not an issue at all. I think the jubilee goes really well with the shiny bezel teeth and brings you that iconic, classic Rolex feel. I also have this 3135 movement full serviced and water proof at 100m. 36 mm blends really with my shirt cuff and sits very comfortably on my small wrist.

Thanks for the topic. I am interested "DateJust 36 SS 116234 ARF 1:1 Best Edition 904L Steel White Dial on Jubilee Bracelet SH3135 V2" and thinking about buy a gen Roulette DW for it. Did anyone have experience with it and give me some advices? and I hear ARF SH3135 movement works perfectly with gen DW, is it true?

thanks a lot!!

Gen DW don’t fit on sh3135 without a modding of the calendar plate
You will find many information about it here on rwi with search fonction.

I think it depends on whether your SH3135 have enough clearance to allow gen roulette datewheel or not. I feel like the gen roulette datewheel is little bit thicker than gen 3135 all black datewheel. But Mike from New York did this swap for me so I don't really know.
