...install 3135(gen)movt/dial in noob v7 with 2836

nope different crown/stem/tube height for both movements and case

case SA3130 and case A3130 the same?

depends on how you define an A3130 movement. An 'A3130' movement can be referred as a SA3130 clone or a 2836-2 movement with decorative 3130 plates. I assume you are talking about a 2836-2 movement with 3130 decorative plates then no

umm. I have just bought a SD with the A3135 inside, (not sure which version tho) so am i to understand that nowadays this is not a bad movement, it has interchangeable parts with gen if it goes wrong and possibly the whole movement could be replaced with a gen one (theoretically)

Great thread, thank you.

Will a 2836-2 fit in the JF 16610 case to replace the SH3135?

How about the Oyster Perpetual 39mm 114300 JF 1:1 Best Edition Red Grape Dial?

Will either 2836-2 or 2824-2 fit as a replacement?

Putting a 2824-2 movement into it will cost more than servicing the stock SH 3132 movement... just get it serviced before wearing it

Hey guys, Noobie here and likely going to buy several reps. I am purchasing the Explorer II NOOB 1:1 corrected hand from intime, currently awaiting QC pictures, but I started getting doubts running through all these threads and when I read through the explorer sales section mostly. Where I live I would be lucky to find anybody to service it and not sure if I am buying something that would be easy to fix or service if something goes wrong. Sorry if I am posting in the wrong forum but cannot find much on the search. Could some one let me know if I should choose another watch with a different movement inside that would be easier to fix or service? I live in South america and it is hard to find everything here much less parts or service for a watch.
I would really appreciate any suggestions. I have read through 100's of thread before I even decided to get the explorer II.
On a side note I have an explorer II I bought 10 years ago (REP) that works perfectly and never had been service or even opened. Just is all beat up and the paint has worn off most of the outer dial. Not sure what movement it has but it still works like a charm.
Thank you guys very much

Want to buy Datejust ARF, but read a lot about 3135 movement and afraid all problems with. Unfortunataley there is no option with ETA movement, only 3135. Is it possible to swap 3135--->ETA in this watch?

You need a 2824, movement ring, compatible hands and date wheel. Better to have it serviced and add some gen parts in it to improve reliability and fix the date change issues

I just cant see why anyone would go for the SH3135 over a gen ETA movement. Yes, the SH3135 winds in the same direction as a gen Rolex but that is really only for your own enjoyment. I mean, are you going to take the rep off your wrist and try to fool someone into thinking it's a gen Rolex? I don't think so. The fact is gen Rolex 3135's are know to have dodgy winding systems and it's a know fact that serious issues can arise if the watch is shaken to hard or dropped, any violent kind of movement can cause damage to the rotor axel, even just jogging with the watch can damage it over time. It's recommended that you fully service a gen 3135 every 5 or 6 years to keep it running right and keeping time. The SH3135 movement is not even serviced when you buy it new, so if you do get one, it would need to be serviced ASAP. Now these issue are known on gen 3135 movements. Imagine how a cheap Chinese replica will act. Read up on 3135 issues.

HI Guys i need some help about newer Movements.
Which of them is gen hands compatible? Asian 2836 or the VSF super clone omega 8500 movement. I want to order a Omega GMT because i can get a Set of gen hands for it.
Toro has the new Clone super clone 8500 and InTime the 2836, which one i have to choose that my Watchsmith can assemble it.

Thx a lot for helping.

You might have a problem as VSF was raided and currently laying low.

But both will work or which of them is more suitable to get safe?

The superclone 8500 is so new I haven't seen anyone discussing the compatibility with genuine components. i know its not a coaxial movement so it's a fantasy version, kind of like the SA3135...nothing mechanically matches up with genuine components. Truthfully, unless you can access a genuine dial, swapping out the hands only is a complete waste of money. It will not add any palpable improvement any you'll lay out the cost of the hands plus $50-100 to install them. Better to use those funds towards a second watch or an improvement which you'll be able to tell like adding a Prof crystal.
