You're thinking of the a3135 There is nothing wrong with the sa3135, in fact it's a great copy just like the other Asian movements that suffers from poor assembly. The sa3135 got bad press because noob used a load of v1's when they released the v6s series of sub and dssd. So the weak stem issue which was well documented with the v1 reared its head again. Even the stem wasn't that bad but when you get an achilles heel the noisy minority are those who are listened to especially by noobs. The v2 is much better. Solved the problem. But like all Asian movements the material is not what you would expect to see on a swiss. The wheels are [censored] like on all Asian movements. So for a long time everybody digged it out because the automatic assumption is it can't take gen parts because it's not an identical copy. In reality, with some modification, guys like[mention=33155]maxracingshox[/mention] have proven that you CAN put gen parts on the sa3135. The big weak points are the driving and reversing wheels. These can be switched with the gen but you have to grind the jewel down. Yes it is aggro but a good watchsmith will do this for you and then the sa3135 is rock solid. With an ultrasonic clean, re-oil and re-assemble it's a fantastic movement. The sh3135 is the yuki. Now the big problem with this movement is expectation. It needs a service out of the box. And to make matters worse, a movement that requires a service out of the box is sent to another Chinese sweat shop and had part of it removed and engraved, then, in true Chinese tradition, drenched in oil and mixed with pubic hair, shrapnel and god knows what else. Then the unserviced movement goes out to the likes of ourselves having been running with bits of metal etc in it which causes further damage. Not only this but again the positioning of the jewel causes a problem. So again it really needs to go to a watchsmith that knows the movement. More parts on the yuki are interchangeable with the gen out of the box which gives the impression it's better than the sa3135. It isn't, it's just different. The a3135 is a 2836 with a decorated plate and doesn't need to be discussed here. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It's a cheapie. The repair will be more than the watch is worth I'm afraid. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The sa3135 will take genuine parts it just needs minor modification. It will accept the driving and reversing wheels if you grid down the jewel. And once you do this, on the newer version that doesn't have the weak jewel, you have a surprisingly robust movement Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Newest noob 114060 is OK but dial is fantasy and engraving still says 116010 JF rehaut is nowhere near as good as noob New BP has the wrong engraving between the lugs too (1141060 lmfao) Best combination would be JF movement, noob hands, noob case, probably BP insert, JF bracelet, BP dial Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

No problem, great pick up! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ok I'll try and be a bit more active in the panerai section here especially on the new products. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I actually don't really know so much about panerai, just the models that I know. I don't know if the mods would be happy with me linking it but there is a fantastic guide put together by ALE over on RWI which would tell you all you need to know. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Well how about when it arrives I'll buy your steel bracelet and you can buy my rubber strap! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

111 v4 noob is a decent starter watch but you have to have a very sharp eye in QC as more often than not it's old v3's they are trying to get rid of. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

For sure. The handwound panerais are generally way more reliable than, for example, an a2836 watch (in my experience). The 6497 is a very nice movement that feels much nicer than a miyota or Asian eta on the wind. Any chrono watch is going to add a greater risk of failure especially if you use the chrono without knowing how to use it properly (resetting without stopping, using between certain times, etc) - lots of info in the movements section will guide you in this department.

Mine are around 6.5 in and it fits fine. If you wanted something a bit smaller the new 682 from xf factory is 42mm, still quite chunky but if you wait a few weeks for the factory to update the lume then that's a potentially great choice. Otherwise there are lots of other pams on offer currently with loads of the dealers, especially by kw factory, so lots of options for you to consider. I had a h fac 26k that IMO fit my wrist fine. If you think you can pull it off then you can pull it off IMO [emoji1360] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It's that right hand subdial. Don't bother with the box, you'll only end up selling it to buy more reps! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sloppy gear train by design, same on the Swiss version. I'll take two pics of it at its most extreme Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yep that's the one. Some of them have a very slightly wobbly right hand chrono hand which happens on most a7753 movements so check this out on QC just to make sure it only moves slightly. Mine moves ever so slightly and it's unnoticeable. It's a proper super rep otherwise with a decent movement. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Toro has the 356 on offer at the moment, am absolute steal at that price Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The JF is miles better than the BP and the sh3135 a better movement than the sa3135 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Gen everything bar the midcase and crappy Hirsch curved end strap. If anyone wants to let their bracelet go for one of these let me know! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
