Guys started out as sales thread but we are off to research the movement question So I moved as watch sold. MOAB View Advert Hi there, I purchased this JF 1:1 Submariner 116610 LN from puretime a couple of weeks ago with the intention of using it's movement in a franken project. The JF SA3135V2 basically is a Yuki 3135 with engravings and much better availability. I came to the conclusion that sapphire crystals just don't do it for me anymore and therefore I won't take this watch apart for it's movement. Here's the link to PT: http://puretime03.com/submariner-116610-ln-black-ceramic-jf-1-1-best-edition-on-ss-bracelet-sa3135-v2s.html I paid 486 USD including shipping, which equals 455 Euros today. As with every Yuki3135 or JF 3135V2 I highly recommend to have this movement serviced immediately! Do not even think of wearing this watch without the movement having had a proper service. Though it keeps good time it winds like it was 50 years old and has never seen oil in it's long life. That's nothing a proper service from an experienced watchmaker could not get rid of. The watch even has all protective stickers in place. It is unworn and brand new. Letting this one go for 385 Euros including worldwide shipping with insurance. I am in the EU but will ship worldwide. Buyer takes customs risk / fees / responsibility. Within the EU there will be no customs involved, of course. Let me know if you have any questions.

I am very new to the rep watch game but I have ordered my first watch from TC. It is a NOOB V6S SA3135 movement DSSD Blue-Dial. I know that the movement is not the greatest but I plan on getting it serviced right away and seeing how long it last. When or if it craps out on me I wanted to go with a Yuki. In the meantime, I will be combing the internets for gen hands and other parts to add to the beauty and create my own lovely franken. Is my thinking correct? Can I put a Yuki in this watch case? What parts should I be looking for when I make this swap? Is the tube and crown from a gen gonna fit the Yuki and the SA3135 or just the Yuki? Sorry for all the questions but all the information I found seems dated. Thanks in advance.

After building THIS über-franken I found myself with two gen dials and two SA3135 movements so I went to work and built another. It's a StarTime case, WO bezel, Clark crystal and hands and gen dial, crown, insert and crystal gasket. This contains the weaker of my two SA3135s but it's still keeping close enough time to be used as a daily driver. I've loved lughole cases all my life and while this case is no where near as perfect as the ETASwiss or TC cases, it's damn good and makes me smile when I look at it! Here's a few snaps of it: And for heck of it, one of my über-franken doing what it does best: running strong! Thanks for looking! ~Brendan
