orca1993 Posted July 4, 2011 Report Share Posted July 4, 2011 I received a Submariner with the clone 3135 movement and when I tried to adjust the time and date, the stem came completely out of the watch. I took it to my friendly watch repair guy and he took the watch apart to find the problem. Apparently, the groove on the stem has too much slope to hold the adjustment in place. When he tried to increase the spring pressure, it just bent instead of holding and engaging the gears. Is this a problem with this particular movement or is there a design issue here?

highoeyazmuhudee Posted July 5, 2011 Report Share Posted July 5, 2011 yeah stay away from the "clone" 3135. not only are their manufacturing problems but youll eventually find red bits flaked off in your movement and possibly on the dial from the gears. its best to purchase a genuine swiss eta and save yourself the headache that will ensue in the long run from this movement. consider selling the rotor as a novelty.

orca1993 Posted July 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2011 Thanks, it's too late to fix this purchase. The watch has not worked since it arrived. Had to replace the band, bezel and now the movement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
