They’re all over priced imo and also might need a service. Just stick with clones.

If you can find a Vs go for it. A Vr will not be as smooth, but still great. No need to change anything they run fine. Every interesting part to switch would cost at least as much as the clone itself

Forget the idea of gen parts in a rep movement in 2022. Buy stock rep. Get it serviced as required. Call it a day. This ain’t +3years ago when 3135 clowns where unstable.

Genuine 31xx movements have gotten stupid expensive. I've only seen 1 under 3k the last year or so. Just go with a VS (if you can find one) or VR as said. They are both well made and should last. If service is needed, either will accept a whole host of genuine parts for repairs.
