First, I don't think they are crap anymore. The first ones were breaking the stems, but they updated them to a thicker stem to fix that problem. I have 2 of them that I had serviced when I got them and they are running perfectly. Second because the case would have the correct stem height if you wanted to Put a Yuki in it. A lot of people want a rep with proper function like the Gen (time and date set the same way as Gen)
First, the first ones did not break the steam, but they broke into the SA3135 when they came out with the Noob V6S where they had great demand for production. The SA3135 was already there before Noob had marketed watches with this movement and with this problem.
Secondly, it remains a horrible and nightmare movement, without spare parts and even after the service does not maintain stability if you put in different positions or try to regulate it.
Third, BP supplies timepieces with eta clone 2824, so the 2824 case would also accept a Yuki.
Do not try to teach who has been in this world for years, this movement is a shit and will always remain that, unlike Yuki.
It is my opinion and that I am aloud to have no matter how long you have been into this.
You said what is so great about it and I gave you my opinion. If you don't like my opinion that great, but that doesn't me I am not aloud to have one.

I respect anyone's opinions, but not when described as a ladder: "first", "second," and blah blah as if it were law and everything else was bullshit.
I deliberately reported the same type of scheme in my answer to point out how hateful the tone is, here it appears to others, and so it was.
What matters, however, is not to mention the SA3135 as if it were a super reliable movement because it is not and any serious modder or watchmaker here on the forum can confirm this without even pondering about this ...
But of course i respect your idea, it is a free world, and everyone is free to spend their money as best they believe
Ha ha ha
Well, clearly see that you do not know me as a person because I'm not as you describe it.
I just try to make people think about where to spend their money, and avoid letting them throw money into the bin for a crap movement, and that's all.
To me if one would put Yuki in the future in this watch why don't buy directly a cheaper eta clone version? DWO isn't compatible, and also the hands, so what is the real sense to buy this movement that 90% of us know well that's a bad movement?

All I can say is that I am happy with the gen eta 2836 from Adrian. No worries about reliability, gives a nice piece of mind. And if anything goes wrong parts are widly available. Sa3135 is rubbish and will die, no parts available,...
Only option in my opinion is yuki or jf sh3135, but don't see the point if you don't go for gen dial and gen hands. But that would be a nice built gen dial and hands but quite expensive one.

If my SA3135 dies, I will just put a Yuki in it. The dial feet will be correct and the hand will fit. That is my reasoning. But like I said, it is my opinion and what I opt to do.
I have no idea if the dial or hands are the same for the 2824.

I just had a Yuki put in a v6s 116610 I bought M2M. It had a SA3135 (BP dial) in it and the modder used the dial and the hands from the SA3135 on the Yuki.
He also took the hands and dial from my Noob v7 116610 and used them on the Yuki he is putting in that. So not sure if I am just lucky or what, but 2 for 2 SA3135 dials and hands on Yuki's for me.

Yes that is what I was trying to say the 3135's are usually different than the eta setups!
So far so good with 3135's for me. Your builds are always great, I try and do similar builds to yours- but I can't keep up to you!

Thanks for comments friend. I have put a load of cash into them but compared to gen saved tons. I think looking at them without dissecting them it is very hard to tell from gen?

So Adrian got the LF SD I sent him. It is basically a piece of shit. So parts of the case were Gen spec, but not many. So the verdict on the LF is -Don't buy it! I am glad I bought it as it was the only SD 16600 that I could find with a 3135 in it. In the future I will be looking into building a 16600 but for now I will have to put it on hold. I have a couple other builds going on already.
So next will be the evaluation of the LF 16610, so far what I can see the font on the dial is terrible. But waiting to find out if the case is bad or not. I will keep everyone posted on that one in another thread.
To sum it up- LF SD = Crap!
