No. What I mean is, think about the SH3135. For you to put a real date wheel and have it work well and not have date wheel issues or quickset issues you kind of need the following parts:
3135-600 date plate

3135-670 Intermediate date wheel.

3135-645 date corrector

3135-614 date jumper spring

Now that is about $500 in parts maybe $400 if you get a great deal on them.

This VR3135 has fixed all those parts making them stronger and correct. Even so. My date doesn't flip on my VRF. I am hoping it is just a fluke. So I will order parts 3135 623 and 3135 625 and see if that solved the issue. That is about $150 in parts.

I sent Angus a message asking if he could get me those parts from the factory since mine didnt work. I have no issues paying for the parts. I just want working date flip. Is that so wrong? LOL.

That is all about bro
All my watches now will be using VR3135

Anytime brother. That is why I am here. I love this hobby and want to learn as much and show everyone what is new in the world of Rep Rolex sports line. The 3135 is my favorite movement. A work horse and I believe that with in the next year or two we will have a great 3135 for our reps. Lets not forget the A2824 when it came out. Now it is reliable.

Understand that when Yuki came out, with upgrades, a nice running hybrid Rolex/Yuki 3135 was about $1000. I have one still running almost 4 years later. So they can be reliable. Now if we can get one from a factory with most of the improvements then we are ahead of the game.

Also this is the first 3135 that came out with a passable date wheel. That alone saves over $100. Also the auto reversing wheels, saves another $200. If we can get the date flip down, that will save about $400-$500 in rolex parts. So do the math and this movement is a big step for us in the 3135. Now if I can get the movement running strong and reliable.

Thank god you are still around, we love you here bro :)

As i stated earlier, there is still one more treat coming in the future. Not sure when this 3135 copy will be released, but i think its the SA3135 updated movement.

In that link, he was talking about the VR3135. Just look at the picture of the balance shock absorber.

In the link i posted the balance is blue coated. This VR3135 is not, which make me believe they are different?

With everything going on in the repworld, it's hard keeping all the info straight. ;)

I followed that blog since last year and thought it would be an upgrade SH3135. Not until I saw the pictures of the VR3135 to realize it was the VR3135 he was talking about.

Overall a great review and teardown. A lot of promise in VRFs effort with the movement. However, it needs improvements to be reliable.
I am truly impressed with your reasoning and I hope all factories reads this.

Amazing stuff! Thank you for posting Rob!

I just wonder if you did order the parts to possible solve that particular issue and what was the conclusion?

Hi just received my VRF 3135 hulk, work like a charm. Date flip at 00:04 power reserve aprox. 40 hours give or take. Overall shape looks good for me, closest one to the gen. OOTB running smoothly. Cheers

Ok thank you,
I asked because some details made me doubt:

Blue spring in balance wheel.
Date finger without jewel
Reversing wheel seems better than sh3135

  • I didn't even see that. Maybe a VR unbadged? The VR has a lot better finish. But you are correct that the date finger is metal.
