well if you have the cash to blow, go the BK route, else the SA3135 route is good for its price range.. 
Almost one month later of constant wear, my YM is still running strong. I've set the time multiple times to see if it started having the hands move when pushing the the crown in. No issues at all. This ties my gen PO as my favorite watch, and eventually I will have to get a gen YM.
NO problems yet with the SA3135....??
Be careful...you don't want "no sub4me" hearing you say that.

I'm pretty impressed with how far they have come in the past 18 months on the 3135 replica movement.
The dial on the SA3135 appears a bit speckly to me. The speckles being kind of darker looking specs thoughout, where the Gen and WM9 don't have that appearance in any light/shading conditions.
Also, they got the bezel pretty darn spot on the Rolesium.
For the money, probably one of the better done reps today for sure.
With a different dial and Gen crystal, I would say it would be a pretty amazing Franken Rep without much money being put into it.

Exactly the dial does have the tale tale almond, silver, metallic, grey hues when you look at in certian lighting..I love it really...it's a damn DAMN good rep imo.
Hope this will not go the way of the WM9 where people will only realize how good it is when it's gone. Thanks rob for drumming it up! :thumbsup:
Good to hear the SA3135 is doing well. I'm not crazy about the case sets. Neither the SA3135 sub nor the SA3135 YM has gen construction. I mean if there doesn't exist gen constructed rep case sets, there's nothing you can do. But there are. Gen constructed case set has one Rolex signature that the others are missing. It's the dark shadow where the crystal meets the top of the crystal. On non-gen constructed cases, you don't see that. You see a greyish band only. Look at this gen GMT:
Look at this TW/wm9 LV sub which has gen construction of course
also look at this wm9 YM, again has gen construction
The best use of SA3135 YM or the SA3135 sub to me is drop the whole gut into the corresponding gen-constructed Sean YM case set or sub case set. I'm able to source these case sets after CNY. I've been trying for some time now.

yes. The sample YM case set I got actually came with a unlogo'd dial (missing the Rolex logo and top row of text) and a logo'd dial. The logo'd dial is exactly the same as the one FatMatt's Sean YM he sent me to assemble with a ETA 2824-2
I should take pics.
After CNY, I should be able to get them
