Hey guys,

Thought I'd share some findings I've made while working on several Yuki movements. As we all know, watch makers go through various iterations and parts change frequently. Turns out that's true of the Yuki 3135 too! While I can't speak to which "versions" these belong to as they've come mixed at the same time, I've found 3 different types of red reversing wheels, both the inner and outer. The paint being the biggest change to the outside. On the inner wheel, there are 3 different teeth designs, and one is made out of what looks like copper. Obviously the first wheel has a crap paint job that will no doubt flake off and fall into the movement if not swapped out. As for the inner wheel, I can't say one is better than the other. Just thought I'd share!
