116622 case same for 3135 and 2824?

[Rbrobson]

Hey all - I’ve read that the Noob and JF 40mm (6 digit) Yacht master cases are the same for a clone 3135 movement and A2824.

Does anyone know if the same is true for the ARF version of the Yacht-Master (116622).

Specifically I am curious if I can drop a VR3135 movement into an ARF Yacht-Master that originally housed an A2824.

Are you know if it’s true that a 2824 case takes a vr3135 movement?

No.
Sadly, I have one here and while the movement fits the case just fine the stem won’t align correctly with the tube. I ended up ordering a correct 3135 case.

ARF 2824-2 watches, at least for the ARF Datejust 41 and ARF Sea Dweller 126600, have thick DWOs and thick dial spacers which make the overall stem height quite low.

I managed to fit a 2836-2 inside an ARF Sea Dweller 126600 (which originally used a 2824-2 movement) because the stem height was that low.
