Still waiting for an answer from the experts if indeed is possible to put the 3186 in a 3135 jf sub case, and if then it’s possible I was thinking about making someone add some material via laser and refining it into a 16710 case

I've never seen it done in a rep 5 digit case, but the hybrid SH3185 coming from an SH3135 would fit either a 5 or 6 digit 3135 case. I have read about gen GMT movements being fit to rep 6 digit cases, but am not sure if it was gen 3175 or 3185/6.
The gen 3175 movement does not have an independent GMT hand. There is good discussion about that movement here if anyone is interested.

The measurements posted by ginopino pretty conclusively show why this new A3186 movement would not be compatible with any existing 5 or 6 digit 3135 or ETA cases, assuming the rep movement is close to gen height.
That's not to say someone won't figure out a way to make it happen, there are some mighty talented and creative hobbyists on here.
At this point, if those claimed 3186 are not 3175s with different naming to match today production, unfortunately there is the need to mod the interior of a sub case to fit. At least less than 1mm but is needed to be removed from the inside.
I'm wondering if a TC V7 case should work without the need of this, because to fit a 3135 you need longer screw because is deeper than a JF for example

so excited about this. I had just placed an order for a Pepsi NOOB with pure time last week. cancelled the order today and I'll wait for the updated Pepsi with this movement.
That’s what I would have thought, but I asked Tickleshoes about exactly this setup (3135-based movement, so either sh3185 or gen 3186 in a 3135 case), and he explained: “Nope. They do not fit. The GmT movements are thicker to the point there is no way to secure it in the case and the rotor will hit the caseback and not turn.”

Cannon pinion hole does not look different to gen - think Vrf did a good job:

Did ARF release also a SH3186 which is similar to the new VRF SA3186 or is this a different one?? Btw, why is the VRF calling it SA and not AS. SA reminds me always on the unreliable 3135... don’t get the nomenclature anymore...

Gen 3186 Movement fits without any problems into the Noob 116710 Case (latest) you just need a custom movement holder.
My superfranken (all gen beside case) got this.

Nice, maybe I will sell my gen watch and get this new ARF or VRF or both
Thanks!
Just let the gen movement go and use noob case with VR3186 and the Gen Parts, best so far...
