Fitting a 3135 into a 2836 casing

[mbenz]

Planning to source a gen 3135 movement into a 2836 V3 Noob Sub. Is it a simple task ?

 

What are the problems that I must watch out? Thanks.

Not gonna be easy. Crown position will be different. Obviously different hands. Dial feet location is not same either.

If you are stuck on using a gen movement, I personally think you're better off buying the SA3135V2 subC. Pry off the bezel assembly and slap on the noob Bezel if you really want to.

I think the maxi dial on the SA3135 is better than the Noob, but you will need to get it relumed as it sucks. Case will need a little reshaping as well.

Anyhow.. Good luck with it. With the right tools, anything is possible.

Why not build up a TC with a gen movement.

It will be far better then a ceramic as don't get me wrong the ceramic subs are good but if we are comparing them to how good the TC stuff or Sean stuff is there is no comparing! Movement drops right in and it will be very easy to do yourself where as the sub c route will take lots of work

Thanks 883. My major obstacle should be the crown position, I am unable to do that.

 

Thanks u. 16610 is too small for my wraist.

 

Any idea who can do drilling for new crown position ?

You know that they are both 40mm watches right?

And as far as drilling a hole for a new stem, that's not what you'd do. In this case it would be best to get one of the subs that will fit a 3135 movement.
