I had no problem fitting a gen datewheel on mine. Finish is way better than VR, and winding is the smoothest i've experienced so far with rep movement. I just hope they will be produced again after the raids

Sorry for late replay.

You can get on AliExpress, but not sure if they REALLY are VS3135

Would you mind sharing a link? They are easily reconisable on pictures, granted that they use real pictures of their product :)

Use VR Date Indicator Seating or upgrade to gen part number 3135-600 easy swap.

It's similar problem as the SH had

do you maybe know if also the gen balance bridge (3135-120) fits in the VR3135?
and what other upgrades would be essential for it and also fit to look more gen upon opening and first glance.
thanks

Don't waste your money into any gen parts! A clone movement will just never look close to a gen. It is simple, if you look at the finishes of the plates and screws of a clone movement, it is an immediate tell already, no matter what other gen parts you have swapped into it.
Just enjoy it as it is and free up your mind, bro

It does, but of course you also need the balance wheel. The rep has no breguet hairspring and won’t fit the genuine bridge.

I bought one of these sterile VS 3135 from Aliexpress, the one i received was legit.
I had a VR lying around so i could compare, there is definitely the superior finish and the small details that distinguish VS from VS

Some pictures (VR is the one witout datewheel ... and engravings):
