So the movement changes the date in the right direction, has the right size and font on the date wheel and takes a gen dial without having to remove the feet? if so, than it is priceless.
Correct it definatley does that....100%

Here is my 2 cents...
I bought an SA3135 16622 Rolesium from a member at a good used price. I have been through a few Rolesium reps and I wanted this watch for the chance that it will turn out to be a great rep. IMO it is a 90%er.
I doubt I will ever spring for a gen Rolesium dial $$$, I admit I was intriged with new 3135 having 31 jewels and lasting a good long while. I could care less about the dress up clone'ness of the Rolex 3135 movement it represents but it appears that it is what is advertized. The watch is stunning to me for sure.
Here is what I DO know,
it beats at 28,800
mine was checked over by jmb and it was -1 s/d...and is still there at this calibrated time. damn good
the weight it dead on imo
fit and finish ecellent imo
Whether or not is falls apart is still to be seen
Whether or not it can take gen parts will prolly not happen on my end
The reason I bought this was it came for sale at a better price than PureTimes (which it was bought from. I have the invoice from PT) was the WATCH not nessarially the SAS3135 movement,
Jmb was very interested in seeeing this new movement up close and it def is NOT a dressed up 2836-2 it IS a totally new dsign as far as we could tell.
I'll chime in am post how it goes over time..please feel free to PM if you have questions about how it is going with this new replica Rolesium
-
I am not a big "perfect" rehaut guy anyway...if I would have bought this outright from PureTime I would have ordered w/o the rehaut engraving...Will prolly sand it off eventually.

So does the SA3135...as u said, supposedly.
-
I have one too a SA3135 Best Edition YM Rolesium from Puretime....awsome watch guys...just killer.

I just got my SA3135 Best Edition 16622 Rolesium from Puretime....this is a KILLER replica,,,,,
After much anticipation, jonesing, reading and driving myself crazy I picked up the SA3135 Best Edition from PureTime...I did however, buy it from a member on RWI. This watch rocks, it is everything I hoped it would be and more.
The weight, the dial, the look, THE MOVEMENT....here are some pics I was TOLD to share....

This thread is what makes our hobby wonderful for sure...different strokes fer different folks,,,if there were only 3 watch makers in teh world...what ever would we do?

Welcome aboard....reading reviews, reading about Trusted Dealers is worth the time spent. There is So much information here it can give you tired head but PLEASE buy from one of our trusted dealers. They have proved to be reliable and excellent sources of quality and resonable prices. I can give a knod for Joshua, I have bought a dozen or so replicas from him since about 2007. I would suggest starting with very popular replicated models, those popular models have evolved over the years because of the demand for them, hence the "who has the best sub" threads and posts. If you go for a less popular replica you may be dissapointed. Remeber to keep you expectations at a resonable level. I personally have had 2 subs, 2 PO's and 2 Explorer II's and 1 PAM 111 REPLICA that I have swam with them on, showered, jet skiied with out any water problems at all. That might be the execption rather than the rule however.
Happy Repping,
