Greetings! I have a Datejust 36mm reference 116234 which currently houses the caliber SH3135 and I would like to replace it with a VS3135. I was wondering, are the dial and hands compatible between the 2 movements? Can I easily collect the VS instead of the SH? A thousand thanks
Dial yes, hands might need a bit of adjusting.

Making sure you follow the description for the balance, to help you identify the correct movement, you can find these on Aliexpress, but a safer option is here on the sales thread.
