fidhle007 Posted January 9, 2013 Report Posted January 9, 2013 I hate to be the cynical one but I'm willing to bet nothing has changed beyond the stem size. The V2 should be able to take a gen 2135 (I think that's the number, I'll have to check my parts bin) stem based on the measurements Angus posted when it was announced.

But I do not expect a very different mov. from the ones we have seen already. Just hope that there are some significant improvements made.
Rolexman Posted January 9, 2013 Author Report Posted January 9, 2013 Guys I need your help! I currently have the movement torn down. Off course I made a billion pictures and will do a review as extensive as I possible can. But before I start to rebuild I would like to know if people want to know certain specific things of particular parts? Sadly I currently don't have a genuine to compare but I can measure parts or photograph certain things. Let me know! Mark

Ok I will. What I already can say is that this movement is not 1:1. Not only in looks but also design.... It does mimic the 3135 very well though
dbane883 Posted January 9, 2013 Report Posted January 9, 2013 Do you think the hairspring could be replaced with a gen blue parachrom hairspring?
Rolexman Posted January 9, 2013 Author Report Posted January 9, 2013 Main spring or hair spring?... I think we're talking about the hair spring right? Stay of the flu meds Mike
fidhle007 Posted January 9, 2013 Report Posted January 9, 2013 I, too, would like to know about the balance. Could it be swapped with gen or some ETA part? Mine has terrible amplitude and I feel like swapping for a better design would solve a lot of problems...
gmtlover Posted January 9, 2013 Report Posted January 9, 2013 (edited) Size of the reverse wheels? I hate the stuck on purple in the rep, would like to replace it with a gen one. Looks just way better IMO Edited January 9, 2013 by GMTlover
gmtlover Posted January 9, 2013 Report Posted January 9, 2013 (edited) A little pre review question, better build then yuki's V2? Edited January 9, 2013 by GMTlover
irolexu Posted January 9, 2013 Report Posted January 9, 2013 (edited) My gen 3135 is running fast is the v2 going to function as per gen when it comes to regulating time? Edited January 9, 2013 by iRolexU

Ephry73 Posted January 9, 2013 Report Posted January 9, 2013 The y3135 was taken apart cleaned a full photo shoot and service done by 1010 watches. That is the reason I ended up ordering two movements. I currently have one being serviced by 1010 and another one with no issues as a test mule until the stock comes in or more. Gen date wheel for the 3035 was .15mm too big an I had to modify it for Duke's SSD 666 Franken.
Jackjo Posted January 9, 2013 Report Posted January 9, 2013 I am excited to see what you find inside this thing as well.

All I can say is that this V2 is definitely not the same as Yuki's when I compare it to Watcher's pictures pinned in the Rolex section.
gmtlover Posted January 9, 2013 Report Posted January 9, 2013 I am dying to ask you all sort of questions about the movt. But I will just bite my tongue and wait till you post the review...:-)
