Ts station dealer in his website he has noob v7 with 2836 a3135 and sw200 so what movement is a3135 is it 2836 same same same only looking different or SH SA ?

This is exactly what I was talking about. The Noob V7 only comes with two choices of movement: Asian 2836, or SA3135 (which some dealers, like TS and Toro, call A3135, but trust me it's SA3135).

If you are getting a V7 sub, SA3135 (or what he calls A3135) is the way to go. I have not heard of anyone having major reliability problems for months, and it will look and feel closer to gen. Because it's a better watch, Noob has in the past also used better parts for the bezel. This is the one you should get.

You're asking a thousand people, so you're not going to get one answer - just make a choice and live with it.

Withoutnresearch just go with the 2836 man... its the most reliable because there will always be parts to service it if anything ever goes wrong! Again many people have just told you what the purpose of the a3135 was... its a decorated or better looking 2836, made to mimic looks of a gen movement... why waste money... is anyone going to grab your watch and look at how the watch sort of ticks and not as smooth as a sa/sh??? No... just get 2836

I suspect that OP is referring to SA3135 when talking about A3135.

Could OP please post the link of the two options?

He already said he's looking at Noob V7, which means he's talking about the SA3135, which, again, some TDs mistakenly call the A3135. @Bsmneul, these are Chinese made reps. There is no guarantee they will run for years either way, and I have had Asian ETA movements go bad. But the SA3135 (what your dealer calls the A3135) is not just decorated, it actually means the case shape is totally different and closer to gen. @mulramas is right--it's your call. But just understand that everyone saying go with the 2836 is ignoring the simple fact that the point of a rep is to look real, and the 2836 never will. If you still have concerns about the SA3135, do some reading. I'll be surprised if you find enough specific examples of recent problems that you decide against it.

Doesnt seem he wants to look more like gen... he wants reliability.

You seem like you made u your mind already, so just get what you think is better.
As many have already told you, it is a REP it could come DOA with any movement. If you think the SA3135 will die in 2 days them why are you asking what one to get. If you want more GEN lime rep, the SA3135 is the only choice because as many have already said- The case for a 2836 is wrong and not Gen like, the time and date setting on a 2836 is wrong and not Gen like. If you want reliable buy a Casio watch for $40 and call it a day.
But don't keep asking what one to get if you are just going to keep saying SA3135 is unreliable. If you don't think it is reliable, than it is not for you. Myself and others on here will just have to worry every day for years if our SA3135 will die. And for years we will have to stare at our more Gen like SA3135 not knowing when the last day they will work. It is a terrible burden that we SA3135 owners have to bare alone. Every day when I look at my Gen like Sub, I will just have to smile and worry. Casio is best for you [emoji16]

SA3135 is the best movement, it is 1:1 clone with gen, so you should for sure go for the SA3135 movement. If you are looking for a watch that will last you for long the SA3135 is the way to go.

Truly the best solution is to buy them both then sell the one you don't want on M2M =-)

No it isn't. The closest to a gen 3135 is the SH 3135 and it still isn't 1;1 it has a totally different balance assembly. The SA 3135 is a long way from gen and has no interchangeable parts .

I'm far from an expert, but I thought some parts were interchangeable. Maybe @Tickleshoes or @smoke can weigh in. Anyway, the SA3135 has been around for a while and is pretty prolific, so I don't agree that it will be too difficult to get parts.

I like the SA 3135, I just think the SH 3135 is a better movement. I don't know anyone who sells parts for the SA3135. I have a spare SA3135 movement for parts should have a problem.

There are no parts in the SA 3135 interchangeable with gen Rolex parts.

This is not true

Edit - OP just flip a coin
