I want to get the pro's thoughts....I can get my hands on a gen. Rolex 3135 movement complete with date dial and crown. Is it worth the $1500 to get the gen. Movement and put into a noob sub?
Amen brotherThere are a lot of other things that any rep could benefit from more than a gen movement. Things like dial, hands, bezel, insert, crystal, etc. If you plan on doing that also, it might be worth it. But if not, you're just as well served by replacing the Noob SA3135 with the much better SH3135, get it serviced, and install gen reversing gears or the whole autowind device.
So the 3135 is complete and in mint working order my friend got to Franken his GMT and little did he know the 3135 doesnt work for the GMT. My end game is to do a complete overhaul with gen parts (movement, bezel, dial, hands)...because even with all that I'm putting out around $3k instead of $9k for a gen
I never found the need to put a gen movement in any rep. Gen bezel insert, dial, crystal, even bracelet make sense before a movement.

I'm planning on it being my daily wear, I've been putting a beating on my gen watches. This way I wont feel as bad when the case/bracelet get scratched up. Plus this is a cool ass hobby I really never knew existed until a few months ago and I'm diving in head first
