Did you order it by any chance?

 

[Pinion Minion]

Not yet. Hoping I could find someone who has.

 

[gmtmaster777]

I would be also interested

Your link doesn't work for me, but I bought many different movements from Aliexpress, and I am sure I am not the only one.

If you find the right shop there is nothing wrong with those movements. Compare prices between shops, they sometines differ a lot. And as always: If it sounds too good to be true it probably is.

@Plaasbaas have you found a shop on there you are happy with?

I ordered one from “watchmaker tools and parts store”

Was happy with it but now movement no longer available, I messaged the store and he said to buy it from “repair time store” dandong VsF super 3135, so I have two of those inbound, should be here late this week I hope.

Edit- I was digging through photos, I think this was the first one where as usual I had it all together and mucked up the keyless and had to do a quick reset. It’s been working great since.

Well perfect! It would be interesting to see if they are the same vs3135 we all have grown to love

The new ones are in.
Looks good to me but I’m not really the best at knowing all the tiny details.

@APjumbo that’s awesome that you uploaded those shots. From your reference and this link it looks like it is the real deal.
