Yes correct you will need:

VRF3185 Movement (it’s around +- 200$)
you need cal3186 Hands, Aftermarket or gen,
you need a cal3186 crown stem, and someone who can make you a custom holder for the noob.

it were easier to help you if you were inside EU, but all together you easily will be around 400$ with all the parts and work, you may should think about getting a new one, was it a Pepsi ?

yes, it is pepsi on jubilee with not bad bezel insert (but still it is little brown compared to gen). 400$ is ok if it will work well. I also have thoughts on ordering another one from different factory, but noob looks not bad and I think other factories have lower quality in terms of finishing. What are your thoughts on this?

Dear Nooleex,
and one more question. As the timebomb exploded already. Is is possible to fix it without any replacement of rings inside? So it was broken or just slipped away? I think to have a temporary solution to fix it with local watchmaster and then order the details for switching to 3185.

Hi Mate, and could you please advise the right solution for this? I should replace it with the same mechanism and will still have the same “risks”. Or there are better option to replace it with similar one but better?

I have a V7 and I bought the new VR3186 movement, and the watch smith domi will make the movement to fit. So you have the same opinion... or u buy a noob movement and don’t touch date. An other option is to make the Gmt hand not independent working. This was for me no option ????

The VR3185 is a superclone movment means it is a CHS for sure, sams as the SH3186 in ARF and the SA3186 in GMF, all other noob A series movements like A3186 and A3285 are the Basic 2836 modified to CHS, but these are no real clone movements, they also called the timebomb movement.

Best CHS GMT movements on market:
  1. VRF3185
  2. SH3186
  3. SA3186 (too new if real reliable)
Rest CHS movements are junk

So, the VRF and SH share the same specs in terms of size, hands and dial etc?
