SA3132 substitute?

[EricJason1]

Hi everyone. I purchased a 39mm BPF explorer with the Clone SA3132 movement not realizing the reliability issues of them. I have not received the watch yet but In preparation for what may come I was wondering if there are complete movement substitutes I could buy? I don’t mind things like ghost date etc just want something that will work in case something happens. Appreciate any help
Thanks
Eric

Very curious about this quesiton as well. Conventional wisdom would be you could drop in a VR3130 or a VS3135 with the date components removed, but only if the BP Explorer case is "gen spec" enough. Has anyone out there tried this?

are you sure you have sa3132 in ur exp1? I have a bpf exp1 but has 2824 which I swapped for st2130 (due to rotor noise).

VR3130 should fit inside.

BP made explorer 214270 with Asian movements and Superclone SA movements.
