Sub A3135 or A2836

[Bsmneul]

Hello can someone mention the difference between the A3135 and A2836 which is better because the price isnt too much difference so i need to know why A3135 is little expensiver than A2836 is it because its better movement because i didnt have any problem with my 2836 thank you

I assume you're looking at Trusty Time's site. The A3135 is what most sellers call the SA3135 and SH3135 depending on the factory. Search those terms and you can find a lot of info, but basically these are clone movements of the genuine Rolex 3135. The SA3135 is known for reliability issues, and depending on whom you ask they might still not be as reliable as a 2836. But they have the genuine crown position for Rolex watches, which no 2836 model ever will. I don't see any point in a 2836 Rolex anymore.

I searched on this forum some people say A3135 is same like A2836 only look different so i dont know what to do to stick with a2836 better or a3135 if its same and only looking different

A2836 hands down.
Reliability, replacability and ease of service and repair outweighs any slight visual differences imho.

This exactly! The A3135 is just the 2836 decorated to look like the 3135...not to be confused with the SA 3135 which is a totally different movement that comes in a different case.

TD strange answer a3135 is more accurate than A2836. more smooth.

TDs don't know shit. Do your own research then buy from the TD. A 3135 is a decorated A2836, and pointless in a closed back case
SA 3135 is a loosely cloned Rolex 3135. SH 3135 is an accurately cloned 3135, with the exception of the free sprung balance assembly, all other parts are interchangeable with Rolex parts.
Noob Reps tend to have better cases and other parts when fitted with the SA3135. Noob don't use the SH 3135(Up til now) but JF and BP do.

I also wouldn't buy a Rolex rep with any kind of 2836.

An important difference is also the operating of the watch. With the 2836, you set the time opposite the direction you do on a gen. With the SA3135, it is set just like gen.

Can anyone chip in how the wounding feel+sound is compared to gen with the SH or SA3135 ?

Thank you friend but im buying a3135 or a2836 so i dont ask info about SA and SH only i need to know what is better for buying a3135 or a2836 because i dont want to have problems with watch and servicing... so if is A3135 same 100% same in working like A2836 better to take a3135 then ?

The SH winds much like a Gen. The SA has a more distinct click spring type sound when manual winding

IMO the A2836 is better. It will be easier to service without the added decoration, which you cane see anyway, otherwise its the same.

As previously said 2836 usually has fewer reliability issues and easier+cheaper to service.

Always been a supporter of the SA 3135, but I think there is very little doubt that the SH 3135 is a considerably better movement.

 

[Bsmneul]

Friends please let it out of the thread SA and SH because im confused

Is A3135 wich costs 418$ at tds same exactly same working like A2836 same movement only a3135 has rolex signs inside ? What you should prefer to me a3135 or a2836

Like others have said, if the A3135 you are considering is a decorated 2836, there is no point. But please say which TD you are looking at. As @MrMaduro and others suggest, sometimes the A3135 refers to a decorated 2836, but depending on the dealer, it may be the term they use for the very good SH3135, for example Trusty Time, who just listed the JF 16610 as having an A3135, even though we all know it's an SH3135.

Buy whatever makes you happy, but if you prefer the reliability of a 2836 over the visual accuracy of a 3135 clone, then maybe you don't want a rep at all, just a reliable automatic watch like a Parnis?
