No, there won't be a notch. The case is the same as the previous V9 with the old SA3135.

So let's call the watch with the new movement V9S. The movement cannot be called VR3135 anymore, since it is not going to be used by VRF, so maybe we call it AS3135? lol

He he he, Asmodeus , fair enough. AS3135 sounds just right to me, as in ASmodeus 3135 in honor of the dude who 1st announced his discovery of this new Noob movement. Would you have any insider information as to when the Noob 116610LN with AS3135 is scheduled to hit the market? Maybe this Noob V9S as you call it will now have the case notch?

It already has hit the market since about 2-3 weeks, silently. I am pretty sure every piece sold from now on will have the "AS3135". As I said, there is no notch in the V9S. Only a movement update.

Thank is some damn good news!

So if I order a v9 lv today, it "should" have a as3135?

Also, will as3135 fit gen parts like the SH and SA?

PT has listed a new arrival. Noob Sub LV with diamond bezel.

I think this one has got the upgraded movement yet. What do you think?

No. PR of 60-70hrs does only affect this new unknown clone which is used in DJF‘s Sub V2 for example. This is a totally different movement.

FYI:

This is the above mentioned movement with bigger PR.

Thanks Andi, so better PR but not 60/70 as it only comes from DJF that's it ?

Nobody said better PR.
better PR compared to SH? Sure.

Better PR in general? No

My movements got about 43 hours. But I don't see any reason to have 60/70/100/1000 power reserve on an automatic movement.


DJF 3135 is not a clone. It's a weird movement decorated to "look like" a 3135, but it doesn't look like it at all.

This is absolutely great news! The VRF is what I consider to be the best movement out right now based on what I've read. I wonder what kind of deal they made, or if they just copied the design?

My understanding of the main advantages of the VR3135 of the SH3135 is
1. no need to change the autowind module (savings of $300ish)
2. No need for modifications when putting a gen date wheel in (easy alignment and cheaper swap, and easier on the watchsmiths).

Those are the big two I remember.

Asmodeus, I have an sh3135 that is acting up. What is the best way to find one of these new movements ?

@Asmodeus
I‘ve got my V9 2 weeks ago.
Could you please tell me if this is the new „AS3135“ or the old SA3135?

Looks like the new VR3135 movement. Blue hairspring and fully coated reversing gears.
