Watchmeister Posted November 24, 2011 Report Posted November 24, 2011 Oops, mixing up my movements. Forget the question.
irolexu Posted November 25, 2011 Report Posted November 25, 2011 Does any one know which DJ models this movement will work with?
hylnder777 Posted November 25, 2011 Report Posted November 25, 2011 How is the second hand sweep? Is there any studder at all or rotor noise when you shake it?
txrob779 Posted November 25, 2011 Report Posted November 25, 2011 Nope dead quiet the sweep is silky smooth.....
HartDoc Posted November 25, 2011 Report Posted November 25, 2011 I got a super franken project for this movement
Ephry73 Posted November 25, 2011 Report Posted November 25, 2011 Will be extremely good to comine gen parts in an aftermarket case using this movement and gen hands and dial. E
w.genzo Posted November 25, 2011 Report Posted November 25, 2011 As far as the movement being sold, how about a group buy? E +1
automatico Posted November 25, 2011 Report Posted November 25, 2011 "I am really interested but if it does not take gen parts then where would one get parts for it? I do not want a mystery movement issue." I doubt many genuine parts will fit (if any) but that really does not matter a whole lot as genuine parts are getting very hard to find and too expen$ive anyway. If this movement turns out to be good enough to be worth the trouble and expense of buying a complete watch just to get the movement...I see it as worth more (to me anyway) for making Frankenstein DJ, OPD etc with genuine cases/dials than in outright replicas. After all, swissetas/etaclones are pretty good for replicas and parts are easy to get. Besides...you can't see through the caseback. So...what is really needed is only the 3135 superclone movement imho. Otoh, the YM with the superclone 3135 is pretty nice so if I wanted a real nice YM, I might spend an extra $100 for the superclone 3135 (also because a 'swisseta' might not be swiss made). ...but nice 'swisseta' powered submariners are everywhere. Matter of fact, my nice 'swisseta' submariner filled up on me again yesterday while washing my hands/arms. I pitched it in the junk box and put my 'old reliable' (14 yo quartz!) TAG/Heuer back on. Roll call... My genuine TAG/Heuer WK1120 in 14 years = a few 50 cent batteries and gaskets (paid $150 for it 'like new'). Now worth $200 to $300 (+$100+/-). Someone else's genuine 16610 Submariner in 14 years = $1000+ for 'authorized service' (cost about $3500 new). Now worth $3500 to $4000 (-$1000+/-). My nice replica 'swisseta' 16610 submariner in the last few months = numerous drownings (paid $250). Now worth $0 to $50 (-$200+/-).
Ephry73 Posted November 25, 2011 Report Posted November 25, 2011 Water proof your reps before play. I love the water too much not to. The 3135 will be ideal for the few builds I have left, even if just for cosmetic reasons, as long as the movement works correctly and doesn't break it will all worth it. E
hylnder777 Posted November 25, 2011 Report Posted November 25, 2011 Nope dead quiet the sweep is silky smooth..... Any way you could set it down and get a 1 min second hand video? I'm close to ordering one, just need more convincing
gplracer Posted November 25, 2011 Report Posted November 25, 2011 I just want to know that I can find someone to service is and find parts for it if needed. The movement, gen dial, insert, and crown and I am ready to go.
highoeyazmuhudee Posted November 25, 2011 Report Posted November 25, 2011 I just want to know that I can find someone to service is and find parts for it if needed. The movement, gen dial, insert, and crown and I am ready to go. that might be tricky. since its not exactly the same as gen, any watch maker can tell its not exactly the same too and may refuse to work on it. also where would you find a replacement balance wheel if you needed it? the rep 3135 balance wheel is not gen like. rolex parts are also sky high so any parts that do indeed fit will cost ya hundreds.
rosnik Posted December 7, 2011 Report Posted December 7, 2011 Ok, I received from Domenico the SA3135 Pictures now . It's from PureTime's 16610. GOOD NEWS ARE: It Accept GEN DIAL It Accept GEN Hands It Accept Gen 3135 DW It run perfectly and it's a perfect time keeper, the DW is perfect running too. I suppose it's a V2 movement version already. I'm very happy for this great improvement. See pictures....... BUD NEWS are : The Case is not 1:1 , it's a real cheap case like a 50$ canal street SUB! It's impossible for me to use that case. Gen dial testing fit:
Star69 Posted December 7, 2011 Report Posted December 7, 2011 cool ! so why they make such a nice movement and use shitty cases ? cheers, Frank
FxrAndy Posted December 7, 2011 Report Posted December 7, 2011 Where is a WM9 V2 case when you need one
rosnik Posted December 7, 2011 Report Posted December 7, 2011 Where is a WM9 V2 case when you need one Do you got?? You can freely contact me.
rosnik Posted December 7, 2011 Report Posted December 7, 2011 cool ! so why they make such a nice movement and use shitty cases ? cheers, Frank Sure a better version will come.....
Star69 Posted December 7, 2011 Report Posted December 7, 2011 the watch looks really shitty ... the good old Noob is still nicer .... btw - what happened to this nice Tritium dial ? do you get it relumed ? cheers, Frank
rosnik Posted December 7, 2011 Report Posted December 7, 2011 Genuine 3135 DW on SA3135. btw - what happened to this nice Tritium dial ? do you get it relumed ? cheers, Frank Restoring progress.....
automatico Posted December 7, 2011 Report Posted December 7, 2011 Looks like the movement is a gem...and the case is a toid. ('toid' is NYC speak for tur-d)
Ephry73 Posted December 7, 2011 Report Posted December 7, 2011 It may just be worth the price of the watch for the movement alone if it proves to be reliable as well. Very good findings. E
