Is it possible to install a 2836 ETA or clone in place of a 3135? Or is the only option to reach to yuki and buy one of his movements?

It is definitely possible. The 3135 from the TDs are nothing more than decorated 2836s. I even had to fix a "3135" and swapped in a gear from a swiss 2836.

Thanks :)

My A3135 watches have performed flawlessly...maybe I've been lucky, but I'm a fan of the A3135..

From what I've been told, the a3135 is a decorated 28xx, while the sa3135 is a proper clone of the 3135 rolex movement.
