When I see this kind of comparison I can only be reassured to buy replicas on certain models, in my opinion you don't buy a submariner for the beauty of the movement like some others.
Great review thank you!

Hi, do u know if It can wear gen parts? Which parts can it be frankened with?

Yes it can accept gen pieces. Crystal and date are the first people usually swap, but if you want to go deeper gen dial/hands/crown/movement and you are done. Mayb add a gen bracelet :)

Thank you.
i am buying a zzf 114060 no date.
I think is the maybe the best rep nowadays.

i saw there are two v3 version: one with Sa3130 and another one with vr3130.... people say the second one is better, but I dont know why it is cheaper

Get the one with VR3130 its true clone movement and accepts gen hands and gen dial.

Also time setting direction is same as on gen and its silent you cannot hear the rotor spinning.

I have both one with VR3130 (V2S) and one with A2836 (V2).

Can you tell me if VR 3130 does it have only 1 click when you pull the winding crown to set the time or does it have 2 clicks (and therefore is a modified VR 3135)?

Of course its a modified 3135. They are basically the same movement. Im pretty sure they have removed the ghost position but someone with the no date zzf can confirm this

It has 1 click but as someone said its a long one not like the 2 short clicks on date versions but 1 long click. Feels like there’s a ghost position in between. Haven’t handled a gen so don’t know how it should be.

In V2S no-date thread there is longer description of this movement from the factory.

The clicks is juste a piece in the keyless works with notches. to convert from 3 to 2, all it take is to remove one notch. If it feel like a long pull to get to the next position, this is the reason. To make it proper, many parts in the keyless works need to be reshaped and i'm sure no rep factory would bother really with lots of back engineering.

Then I will put it, which for me was the most critical point of v2, is it exactly the same in v2 and v3? and for the rest, same movements, bracelet closure, etc. there is only improvement in insert and rehaut literally? thanks partners !!

I have seen that offer and it left me puzzled .. I thought that all the zzf v2 were made in 904L steel ... I am a bit confused when I see the trusty offer
