Is this a VR3135?

Hi mates,

is this really a VR3135 movement?

What do you guys think?

Yes, that’s a VR in the pics. Don’t know if that’s what you’ll get.

Not at that price. You know what they say, if it looks too good to be true…

It’s potentially a dodgy prospect buying movements from Aliexpress even when the price seems right. I bought two VR3135 movements from the same Ali seller - the ad showed a blue hairspring movement, so it seemed like it should be okay. The first one I received was legit, so I ordered another, and when that turned up, it was a cheap copy. And it took months to get a refund through Ali’s claim system. I look elsewhere now.

Yes, I know. I am very surprised with that price. I will speak with the seller. Lets see what he says

You can find some of the older VR movements on ali for about 80 bucks.
