ok, you need to do some reading to learn about these movements. we made suggestions. the 3135 is not really a proven reliable movement, and parts not available. so go with the asian 2836 or the 2824 like what was said.

I don't know that the a2824 is available from the noob factory in a sub is it? I can't answer that. I know for sure the a2836 is. I would definitely go for the asian 2836, or if available the a2824. The 3135 may look a lot like the gen 3135, but really why does that matter? it's inside of a closed caseback that no one will ever see. Parts are a challenge sometimes to get too. I just personally don't see the point in paying a lot more for the 3135 when the 2836 functions exactly the same for a cheaper price. but everyone has their own thing. but go to the movement's section and do some reading about the 3135. you will read post after post of it just not being quite the proven reliable movement yet. sometimes they work great and people don't have any issues at all with them, but if there is an issue it might be a little tough to get it repaired. But go there and do some reading theres a lot of good posts about the 3135. There's a couple different 3135's also. From what I've read the yuki 3135 is a good movement and seems to be reliable so far, but you don't get that in a noob.

Thanks all, the movement of A2824 n A3135 is the same ? If so then I will choose A2824 instead of A3135 .

Yes, the function of it is the same. The seconds hand moves or sweeps exactly the same.

Thanks advisor. Only the engine look not the same as 3135. Infact we don't open the back cover back to compare with others .

3135 movement also not so smooth .

i dunno, but swiss movements, albeit assembled by asian hands, still give me more comfort over asian copies.

Go to TCs Blog and See his comparison of the Superclone and Swiss ETA , Also watch his videos on drop test and out of box tests.

The Superclone movements are fine movements and ideal for replicas.

Right now I think the sw200-2. You can find them in the Invicta watches. The are a swiss clone of the 2824 and sell for a lot. Best way to get them is get the invicta dive line watches and swap them out with your Rep that you order. I did it this week with a sea dweller. It beats 28,800 and great quality. Timing is the key. I got my Invicta 9937 for $210 dollars right after christmas and now its like $350. But they have a limited edition with the same movement that is $250 right now on Amazon. Anyway just my 2 cents.

I have a question about the asian movement, do they typical have loud rotor noises when your wearing the watch?

Depends. Some asian movements only wind in one direction so yes. When the rotor goes one way it is silent and then when it goes to opposite it will wind loudly. I have noticed.
