Just picked up a VS factory 116610LN and it came with a A3135 but feels flimsy when pulling the crown and setting the date etc, previously had a Noob v9 BK modded version with an ETA 2824 and wondering if it is possible to do a movement swap between the 2?

VS comes with the VS3135 which is one of the best clone movements around, I've never heard the movement time setting called "flimsy"....

No, there's no easy way to do what you asked.

Perhaps you should open the caseback and post a picure of the movement? As said, your description is not consistent with a VS movmement. The only clone 31xx movement I've felt the crown action was poor was the SH movement, which would not be in a VSF.

The 2824 feels very positive when moving through the positions on the crown stem and when the date wheel changes over its a solid click. Compared to the 3135 seem to have to "find" the positions and to change the date/time is feels light and flimsy. Not sure if I just got a dud but this is just my impressions.

That's a VS315 - there's nothing wrong with that - one of the best available - if not the best at present. However, there's nothing to say that yours has got an issue - they do have them.

Sorry - can't edit my posts, should have said:
VS3135 and,
However, nothing to say yours hasn't got an issue with the keyless works. I'd want to sort that VS3135 and get it running good - 2824 clone can have just as much trouble with the keyless works.
