Is it possible to install a Eta 2824 in a Submariner which had a 3135 movement installed ?

When the normal 3135 breaks is it possible to exchange it with a Eta movement ?

Thank you for your response. Im struggling between Sh3135 movement and A2824. Is it possible to install an Eta movement 2824 in a Submariner which had installed a A2824 ? I guess then the A2824 would be more reliable

A2824 is the chinese copy of Eta 2824 so yeah. As Raddave mentioned. It is a direct swap.

I myself prefer the 2824/2836 too.
Asian copy (much cheaper) or ETA (much much more reliable)

Im very glad that someone could help me,many thanks. I read now for 2 hours that some people say that the SH3135 is better because of authenticity and others say that the 2824 is cheaper to replace and so on. Then I buy the Sub with the A2824. Good day :)

yes it depends on what you want mate! for example if you are planning in the future to franken it with gen parts then you should buy the 3135 clone instead if you just want reliability and simple solutions then 2824/2836 is the way to go! :)

it's possible but like what other have mentioned, you will need new hands, movement, movement ring, dwo, etc. DWO installation on a 2824-2 is also VERY tricky.

given how super clone movements are becoming more reliable, i recommend swapping in a serviced VR3135 movement into your rep instead
