The No date has a cleaner dial imho but of course each to its own.
For me, I don’t need to adjust the date. Just adjust the time and Go

What was it that they fixed? I had been more into the 116610 but thinking no date could means less mod and less hassle to set it....
Dann. Please help a newbe out. Not sure which one to purchase now.
- I have no plans to mod nor the skills, I am worry about reliability of the the newer VR3130 movement compare to A2836.
- I just want 3-4 years of reliability. Spent the last hour reading everything I could find on VR3130. Besides being a newer movement, i.e. no long term reviews, I didn't find any complaints..
Appreciate any insights... Thanks.

Indeed this is my lately received V2S which seems to have most of the V3 updates as far as I can tell - rehaut, hands, clasp, CF V3 bezel/insert, dial, and possibly crystal as well (not sure is it the dial or crystal but it looks clearer and more deeper black).
Winding the 3130 feels like its full of sand though needs a service.

VR3130 will have the same reliability as VR3135. Reliability is hit or miss with rep, including rep A2836. Get it serviced, whatever movment you choose, if you want to be sure.
For a no date take the 2836 as it doesn't have date change a midnight, it the movement break you change to a Swiss 2836 and you are done for years! just to set time it will be reverse but honestly it's not a real issue
I am looking for a no date 114060. Thanks a lot. I am going with 2836 - I am fine with reverse time setting.

Wait... I have a C4R clasp code late model V2s... Do I already have the ARF clasp? I don't think so, since it's not that smooth!

I still can’t figure out what movement I should choose. 2836 is cheaper what is benefit of the VR? Does the second hand sweep more accurately compared to gen?
No - frequency is the same. Benefit of the VR: gen parts will (hopefully) fit without modification.

Of course, but that's what some people want. They just can't live without gen reversing wheels and so on. "Immediate tell FROM ACROSS THE ROOM, unwearable."
I'm actually an ETA/Sellita fanboy and try to avoid custom/clone movements whenever I can.
