Trusty has uploaded some pics of a 3135 ARF v3. Datewheel is definitely less bold. Can't tell if the font is too thin or its because of the poor magnification of the cyclops...

still debating on between this and the ZZF v2

edit: these are some pics of what was described as the v3 3135 on youku

I'd still advise to check the dates in the 20's, 11 and 10's in general were never too bad

Seems to me that the ARF v3 with SH3135 movement is a good one but the DW is messed up. Would it be able to accept a gen DW and gen crystal? What kind of mods is the most important to do? Thinking to replace my zzf v2 with this.

Why replace sir? ZZF is not good?

It seems ARF used the new improved DW on the 2824 V3, but they still have the old DW on the 3135. I ordered my V3 LV with 2824 for the new DW.

Yes, you can add the Gen dw and Gen crystal. You will most likely need to use the arf crystal gasket as the Gen gasket doesn’t fit properly.
I had the arf V2 with Gen dw and crystal. I really liked it.

You can, have to modify the datewheel and use as an overlay. I had a 2824 ARFv1 and added prof xtal and gen DW

Would you recommend to buy the A2824 or the SH3135 version then? I think if the clone is serviced, it shouldnt be a problem at all

If the 3135 v3 had used the DW from the 2824 v3.... this would have been a no brainier ☹️

I would add gen reverse wheels with a service, this helps with winding and low power reserve issues even after being worn. I have a serviced SH with Gen reversers and winding it feels not dissimilar to a gen Rolex.
