I apologize for my English and my photos. They are not very good.
When removing the cal Yuki 3135 to give a service, I have been taking pictures of the process.
I put pictures of Cal Gen so you can compare.
I thought it was extremely similar to GEN cal 3135.
Clearly, the finishes are not the same and don't have engraved on the bridges,
but the truth is they have done a good clone.
Thanks for all.
Thank for the detail photo and information provide by david.t

This is a great comparison. Unfortunately i havent seen this movement available for sale in at least a year. Is it becoming available again soon?

I've had mine for about 6months now. Ticks like a tank after being serviced

Question here: Why does it need servicing if it is a 'New' movement ?????? Curious about that. All my Swiss ETA genuine new movements run like a champ. Smooth as you can get.

I wonder the same question. Never have had any watch serviced except for the piece of crap swiss movement that was dirty and all gummed up. never had any of my asian clones serviced. Why does a brand new movement need serviced? Never understood that. I have been wearing mine for years and will get them serviced when they start to have some problems. I guess my next question would be why not as the seller service the watch before sending it out to a customer so they don't have to worry about it if it needs servicing? that's what I would do as a dealer.

I guess it's because all rep Asian movements are warehouse assembled by underpaid staff. So whilst the parts used for assembly are brand new, the movements are unlikely to be lubed up as per genuine swiss standards and quality control....but then again, that's why even a beat up genuine rolex 3135 movement costs around $2000!! Hence why rep factories advice clients to service the watch so that they can manage expectations?

The problem is not how it works but the low quality of the oil and the low quality of the steel pins.
With these two things together, the wheel's axles and the axle of the oscillating weight are consumed soon.
If the movement is servicede with oil Bergeon not get problems.
