3135 Identification

Hey guys, picked up a pretty sweet hulk on the forums and got it in the mail. Passed water proofing and now its time to regulate it. The watch was billed as a clean and had a clean sticker on the back, but clean seems to be using the vs3135 now for the 116610 date subs. However, mine doesn’t look like other tear downs. I see the regulator pin and the stud carrier are tucked under the automatic winding bridge. I guess to give it a more gen like appearance. What the heck movement is this? Operates like a 3135 hand setting wise.



Update. Well I got it dialed in pretty well. Whatever it is.

Thanks! I was comparing it to VRs but just didn’t see that post. Didn't look like the older one. Would have preferred a VS as I concur with the post that regulating these is a pain in the ass. Took me like 30 min to get the beat error down from 1.5ms to acceptable level.
