Replace A2836 by future Sellita SW220-2 in replica

[thinkingcap81]

Hi. I'm planning to purchase a replica Rolex Day-Date 36 mm fitted with A2836 since A2836 is stable and reliable compared to clone 3255.

However i have read A2836 will get spoilt in about 3-8 years even if I get it serviced. So I plan to replace it with gen Sellita 220-2 which will be a future release (1-2 years) and an upgrade of SW220-1. SW220-2 will have 65+ power reserve instead of 40 hours of SW220-1.

So what do you think about dimesion changes in SW220-1 vs SW220-2? Will SW220-2 easily fit in place of A2836?

Get the DD. Wear it in the best of health. Once it gives you a problem, fix it ! No need to spend the extra cash up front !

Best of luck !

2836 = sw220. Both are Swiss. Wait and see how it is there are many examples of the A2836 running for more than a decade, where some die quickly. No way to tell. If it dies then address it. By then you might just want a new watch vs throwing 300 or so into one that's been used for years.

I don’t even know what I’m having for dinner tomorrow and here you are thinking about what might happen to your watch 8 years from now

. Because 500 USD for a replica is not a small sum for an Indian like me. I need the replica to last many years.

That is also true. After all, I'm getting a rep, and a new Sellita movement will cost 300 USD.

He was being sarcastic, if that wasn't obvious my good man ! 🫶.

$500 IS A LOT of cash for many, you, I, and many others ! Exactly my point: GET the DD as it is, WEAR THE BEJESUS out of it... and when / if it fails, you can get another movement ! Try, you will be surprised !

Enojy the journey !

Just a bit of lighthearted banter I’m sure that with the right care, the watch will stay with you for many years anyway. Enjoy it

Thanks to all of you. So after purchasing a DD with A2836, I'll get the movement serviced ASAP. Then i think that the watch will last long.
