First attempt to stripped off VR3135 movement

[timto1388]

Hi guys
I received my VR3135 last week so thought of strip off movement and compare with Sh3135
Overall the finish of metal and parts are much higher quality
Date plate easy to take gen datewheel

I decided to put Gen datewheel and Prof crystal and it turn out very well
Here is some pic

Amazing, thanks for your feedback.

Sorry I have so many questions lol

How is the ceramic insert ?
How is the bracelet/clasp ?
The reversing weel seems to be a different color, do you think it’s the same material as the gen ?
With gen dw, everything works properly ?

Visually, do you think it can fit gen parts ?

Ok so I stop now

Thank you for sharing.
How do you compare, as regards watch’ general quality, to noob and arf reps?

. The ceramic insert just same as old version
. Bracelet and clasp feel better but the finished on ARF have my love
. Reverse wheels are on very good finished but not same material as Genuine
. This movement are very similar as SH but with better material, better date plate , better camyoke system , better castle wheel, seating wheel , balance , pallet
. Genuine datewheel fitted with no sweat and it jump smooth like gen

If we have this dial and movement on ARF sub it will be a sick one

Thanks a lot for taking the time to do this!

So arf insert is the best sub stock insert ?
Because I don’t like arf dial and case shape

Would another SH or SA Sub take this movement 1:1 drop it in and go?

Yes, but only if you can get the numbers and markers well aligned around the insert. They tend to always be a little off center which for me is bothering

Great review, timto1388 ! I had the same question as that of KJ2020 but glad to know you already answered this above. Just curious why it fits the ARF and V9 as both do not have the notch. Again, thanks for this very valuable review! Reps are improving dramatically, starting with the 4130, now this!

Nice

Wow. I just love this movement.
Looks pretty clean. Did you notice if it was oiled properly or was it dry?
