Just a quick visual comparison of rep automatic works Vs genuine. Thought it may interest some.

The rep one is a sa31xx automatic device, low quality non-disassebleable reversing wheels and missing driving wheel jewel!!

Correct, came from BP factory. 3131, screw holes in the wrong place so cannot use the genuine automatic works.

I have a genuine mainplate on the way but wanted to use this for now, looks like that's not about to happen.

I might as well continue buying parts and just build a fully genuine 3131 now.

It will be very expensive ahah buying all parts isn’t cheap at all, balance+pallet and escapement are quite expensive on the street market unfortunately

i have a sh 3135 i'm looking to sell cheap, it will take the gen reversing wheel. i can include a vr 3135 date wheel that is very similar to gen.

I'm building a fully genuine 3131 movement mate, not looking for anymore replica movements or parts, thanks
