Need help movement SA3235

[jacquy]

I have a movement called SA3235, the balance of which needs to be replaced. I cannot identify the exact model. It comes from a Datejust 36 126233 gmf.
It doesn't look like any known 3235. Could someone tell me where to find the broken part or a complete movement, or tell me what movement to replace it with?
I'm really at a dead end. Thanks in advance.

i got the same issue before, i ended up replacing the whole movement to VR3235 from aliexpress. $125. there is 2 types, for sub and datejust.

VR3235 ^

Thank you friends, this is really the information I was missing.

I am offered a VR3235 for submariner, can we change the date wheel of the broken SA 3235 movement on the VR3235 sub to change it to Datejust?

 

[jacquy]

I saw that the constructions of the sub and DJ VR3235 movement are completely different, so it won't work.

 

[bry168]

get the one for datejust. i believe it is the big date. this is where i bought mine. https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256...il_item.3.53b1f19c4pwdFU&gatewayAdapt=glo2usa

I bought one of those sa3235 movements off aliexpress for like $50 to practice working on. If you want it with the rolie coronet they’re a few dollars more. I recommend you get a different movement or take up watch repair.

 

[bry168]

it should fit on 36. you also need screw and movement mount since the vsf one will not fit on VR3235. that is if you decide to do it your self. https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256...il_item.2.fe71f19cWoxv9N&gatewayAdapt=glo2usa

The movement isn't Vs3235,it's a clone utilised by GMF.

I tried to get it but no luck. It “zhuman watch component store” and the price is $53.44. You’ll probably recognize the clover shape shock absorber thing on the balance. Hope it helps

 

[jacquy]

Thank you Zeta7.

Unfortunately neither the VR3235 nor VS3235 are suitable. My movement works with a dial with feet, and the real 3235 clones are a cover with a click. So I really have to find this bogus movement, will it be a 3135?

Sorry for the double message. Delete if possible.

No worries brother. Where about are the dial feet located? We can probably figure out from there what movement you’re needing. For example the eta 2824 movement uses the 12 min and 42 minute position's to attach dial feet.

Yes the dial feet are on 12 &42 but the movement is 28.4mm diam.and 8.5mm thick, and 2824 is 25.xxmm
