You can see the new movement in the new watch.

Excellent!
Visually it’s look like a vr3135.

It’s a good news

I believe that I got one of the new movement comparing to pictures

I made thread about spotting the difference between SA and SH3135, the thread is gone with the imgur "ban". The easiest way to see if your Noob has the old SA3135 movement is obviously the finish, but if you can't tell the difference you can just compare the balance regulator side and uncoated reverse gear teeth.

Also the new SA3135 v2 / VR3135 has a aqua-ish hairspring on the balance

This is the most newbie friendly way.

One movement has the "single hole lever" on the opposite side.

This is the old SA3135

Do you know if it’s possible to order juste the movement as part ?

If I don’t make mistakes , VRF don’t sell the movement but noob is usually more flexible with parts.

No, noob won't sell the movement either. I was able to source one directly from the factory manufacturing it, but it is not engraved.

Shame ! I need a movement for my v9 but I really prefer the vr rather than sh because it’s seems to be more reliable and gen DW is direct swap.

I think I will buy the whole watch just for the movement

That is exciting news.

I just had another SA3135 crap out on the automatic and it’s not possible/feasable to fix it.

At least from what I read VR3135 should need less gen parts than SH3135 and thus be cheaper.

My 2 movements so far work fine. Great power reserve and no issues whatsoever.

Awesome. I hope they will stand the test of time. It’s really great that Noob got rid of that SA3135 IMO

Asmodeus, thank you very much for this very exciting news. Just to be clear, is the “new” updated SA3135 the VR3135? Thus the death of the SA3135? Looking for someone to do a teardown if this movement

Yes, it is the same movement as VR3135. Noob had a load of the old movements in stock so they had to get rid of them before using the updated movement. I guess BP will be using the same new movement soon.

As for the teardown, occb2 and Tickleshoes have done already their own thread expressing their opinions about the new "VR3135".

Thanks for your categorical reply, sir Asmodeus !
I just wanted to be clear that it IS the VR3135, and not just "like" the VR3135. I have read and followed with interest the teardown/reviews of both gentlemen occb2 and Tickleshoes .
I find this new development exciting because it now narrows down the 116610LN contenders from 3 (with VRF) to 2:
1. Noob V? with VR3135
2. ARF SH3135V2
Again, thanks for this exciting news. I will now email Sead to be on the lookout for the latest Noob 116610LN with the VR3135. Hoping this latest Noob case will have the movement notch like VRF's case or like the Noob V6s.

No, there won't be a notch. The case is the same as the previous V9 with the old SA3135.

So let's call the watch with the new movement V9S. The movement cannot be called VR3135 anymore, since it is not going to be used by VRF, so maybe we call it AS3135? lol
