Does anyone know if the movement can be changed for a VS3135?
That’s a good question, i would like to know too. I’ve read somewhere that the VR3235 is based on a VR3135 so it seems like it should be possible? That’s a total guess, so ill do more research on this

But my first thought about a mod was movement swap too.

To be more clear in my question.
I am on the hunt for a 116622 3135 case to make an super Franken build.
But since noob is gone and ARF only are available in 2824.
I am not know what to do.
I have invested more than 3K euros in gen parts
A complete gen platinum bezel assambly,a dark rhodium dial,hands,crown,xtal.

This 126622 is realy promising and looks great from the pictures.
i realy hope there’s any possibility to put all gen parts with a VS3135 movement in the CF 126622.

Hope someone have can help me out with this?
Or if it’s not possible maybe have other solution what to do?
I would realy appriciate any help.

The vr3235 is just a decorated 3135.

You can replace it 1:1 without problems

Thanks a lot my friend!

Are the movement screws placed also the same?
So it will fit without any mods?
I realy can’t believe my dream will can come true.
Hopefully the gen bezel assambly will also be a straight fit!

Just remove the movement and out a vr3135 in it. Very stable and reliable

unfortunately after so many factories and versions they have not been able to make a real insert like gen, this my ARF clone, I don't see big steps forward ....

i just think without the use of the actual platinum material mix it is virtually impossible to achieve the same finish
if the bezel on a gen would be stainless steel it would be a different story.

to achieve this it's either franken or gen... i don't expect any factory to get closer than they already have

I will try the new clean release and if i love it as much as i think i will, i will possibly go gen on this one...

in reality I am referring mainly to making a flat insert like gen and the triangle at 12 o'clock that reaches the edge, the color can never be like platinum, even if we are quite close .....
