Yachtmaster Grey Dial 2016 by Noob

I was told by my TD 2824 is not available, only 2836 so I ended up ordering the SA3135.

Approved the QC already, just hope the Chinese New Year won't delay the shipping too much!

If I am not wrong, SA3135 winds like the Gen movement and it can also accept mods like DW.

That interesting a few dealers have told me the 2836 & 2824 seem to have a history of being more reliable ?

Because it has correct stem height, in sets the time like the gen 3135 and the case used for the sa3135 builds has better crown guard shape

It's debatable whether or not the eta clones are more reliable than the sa3135. The sa3135 seems to have a pretty good track record lately, in the past they suffered from weak stems. The issue with sa3135 is that there are no spare parts available if you should need them fir repair. In contrast the eta clones can take readily available gen eta parts.

So if the SA3135 goes
Would you need to replace it with a whole new SA3135 because cant be repaired ?

Yea the consensus is to get a Noob. And your options would be either SA3135 or A2824. I'm going for the 2824.

So you would choose A2824
even though the SA3135 has correct stem height
Sets time like Gen &
Better crown guard
are these not that important factors the watch itself ?

Tbh nobody will know which way your time sets and most people won't notice the difference in the shape of the case. If your sa3135 has a problems you need a replacement movenent from td

I will go with the Blue

Received mine and it looks great but it has a few issues. The wobbly SELs for one but I will try to use the tutorial smoke shared to improve that.

The two other issues I do not really know how to solve:
1- the bezel is a bit lose and I would like to make it tighter.
2-the rotor is a bit lose too and it seems like it is hitting the case when I shake the watch, I know how to tighten a rotor on a normal movement but on this A3135 there is no central screws, any tips on how to tighten it would be appreciated.
