use sa3135 movement dirty,can it crash?

[piruno]

Hi guys, i have a question: we know that the sa3135 movement is not reliable, because assembled without lubrication and with very dirty , if I buy a submariner with sa3135 and I use it , I could break it ? and then when it stop , just clean it and lubricate it to start it ?

Well, two choices, one send it out for service now or two, wait for trouble then service or replace movement. I'd service it now IMHO.

Im not sure who services SA3135. I have read posts about the unreliability of the sa3135 so I bought a Yuki just in case. I picked one up from tickleshoes. I plan on getting another one soon for my next build.

G (George) and Misiek (Mike) can service these units.

Here everybody said is unreliable, I went to a watchsmith and the movement was very clean when come from china and look solid. The only dirty part we found was inside the case and just a little. The movement is reliable until now.
