... and somehow managed to totally wreck (and when I say totally wreck, I mean it is screwed and will not work) the movement on my gen Yachtmaster I. Seawater got in somehow or other, I left it to rust, and to cut a long story short Rolex wants something in the region of 6 grand from me to fix it. Which of course I'm not willing to pay, seeing as if I top up a little bit more I can buy a perfectly fine used one. I've looked on eBay and I note that a replacement 3135 movement runs 2 grand, which I am willing to consider, and also there is a clone 3135 movement out there which I see has gotten some decent press (although I note its currently out of stock, but am willing to wait around a it). The thing is, I have next to no idea how to replace a movement on a watch, and am pretty sure I do not want to (try to) learn. Would appreciate recommendations on my options, and in particular a reference to someone who can work on replacing the movement (whether the gen or clone) if I send the watch to them, in particular considering that I'm located outside the US so shipping / insurance may be an issue. Thanks in advance!
