Also, are you 100% sure that A3235 in BP is actually decorated A2836?
I’m asking because rotation of the hands when setting time is exactly like in Rolex 3235. In ETA A2836 rotation of the hands is opposite.
Mate, I'm not 100% sure of anything when it comes to what TDs advertise on their sites. If the movement
is an A3235, I believe that is a decorated 2836. Most parts are interchangeable and you can just swap the A3235 for a 2836. I
believe the DWO can also be directly swapped in.
The pics of the movement in the ads for the 126660 BPF on Trusty Time (incorrectly advertised at 136660) and the 126660 GMF on TheOneWatches both appear to have the SA3235 movement (not A3235), which I believe it's based on the SA3135 but inferior in quality.
Big difference between A3235 and SA3235. (See links below.)

The SA3235 movements are a crappy attempt at a Rolex movement with some additional modifications (fluff) and, from what I've read, swapping it for either an ETA/A2836, Seagull, Sellita, or VR/VS movement is very tricky or not possible at all, and parts are not interchangeable between SA and ETA-based movements without some serious next-level hacks.

I’ve been looking at a watch that has the new 3235 movement, I’ve been trying to find out a bit more about it. People have been saying different things when I’ve asked about the 3235, Someone said it’s based on the SA platform and should be avoided, I think they said it’s a decorated SA3135, but...

Hello good people and not :) Today i saw something interesting and i wasn't able to find any info here so decided to start a new topic. I saw that NOOB offers few of their watches with A3235 and GMF with SA3235, but when you give a closer look these are two completely different movements. Do...

From all the searching I've been doing, I'm still unsure what options there are for replacing the movement in a 126660 if the existing SA3235 dies, and depending on which movement can be used, what modifications are required to other parts (e.g., dial, stem...).
My incoming 126660 BPF has the SA3235 (ack, I'm basically asking for trouble), so I'll be finding out what can and can't be done the hard way at some point.
