mead861 Posted May 25, 2017 Report Share Posted May 25, 2017 I'm looking to purchase a clone 3135 movement. Does anyone know a good source? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sputim Posted May 25, 2017 Report Share Posted May 25, 2017 Try to get an sh3135 separately from a td that has good connections to jf. Puretime or toro might work Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sogeha Posted May 25, 2017 Report Share Posted May 25, 2017 Or contact @TickleShoes USA distributor of Yuki clones 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sacsah1 Posted May 25, 2017 Report Share Posted May 25, 2017 Have the prices come down on them? I had heard yuki was adjusting his prices ever since it was discovered that JF was using it in their Rolex models.

Sogeha Posted May 25, 2017 Report Share Posted May 25, 2017 $385 ex factory, $500 serviced and six month warranty 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrsoundman Posted May 25, 2017 Report Share Posted May 25, 2017 Perhaps someone is selling them cheaper these days. However, for ~$418 you can buy a 16610 from Angus, extract the Yuki and sell the watch case / bracelet separately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly if he is selling yuki at that price, I rather buy a complete watch and part it out.Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mead861 Posted May 25, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2017 That's a good point about parting out the watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrsoundman Posted May 25, 2017 Report Share Posted May 25, 2017 No matter what direction you end up going, you'll want to get it serviced. @TickleShoes serviced my 3132 and did an outstanding job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TickleShoes Posted May 25, 2017 Report Share Posted May 25, 2017 $385 ex factory, $500 serviced and six month warranty Actually they're $385 serviced or $275 factory. I just leave the original prices on the website because I've gotta deal with non-forum members which is a bit riskier Still reasonable to buy a JF and part it out, no doubt, but they still need a servicing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gwt Posted May 25, 2017 Report Share Posted May 25, 2017 Yes very nice! @TickleShoes is a truly great person to deal with, super fair and very helpful. He is hard to beat as a builder. As stated they look great! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sogeha Posted May 25, 2017 Report Share Posted May 25, 2017 Always great to get the lowdown on who is good. Those builds look tasty, what are the specs please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mead861 Posted May 26, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2017 I'm going to purchase the yuki3135 with full service fromTickleshoes. I looked at using a eta 2824, but didn't want to mess with swapping the cannon pinion to a #4 and dealing with the date wheel overlay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ephry73 Posted May 26, 2017 Report Share Posted May 26, 2017 Great post. I've been away for too long. I miss my franken with the y3135 movement. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mead861 Posted May 26, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2017 Does the y3135 use the Rolex stem and hands? what other parts are interchangeable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sogeha Posted May 26, 2017 Report Share Posted May 26, 2017 For new members there is nothing like using the search function to unearth information on just about every aspect of the hobby. I spent nights and nights doing just that when I was new here. Anyway I found this to start you off:- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I spent nights and nights doing just that when I was new here. Totally agreed, I spent 2 months of reading everything I could absorb before I ever posted anything.... There is so much info on here it's amazing and completely overwhelming at first. However, the built-in search function is painful to use (IMHO). I suggest anyone trying to find specific topics use Google to search the site. Example Google Search: yuki 3135 site:rwg.cc If you want to get creative, you can add quotes to narrow results (searches for two or more words together): "yuki 3135" site:rwg.cc And then you use quotes and not in quotes to get even more specific results: "yuki 3135" parts site:rwg.cc "yuki 3135" parts site:rwg.cc yields the same thread that @Sogeha mentioned above, which should answer most of your questions. Hope that helps and welcome to the forums. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sogeha Posted May 26, 2017 Report Share Posted May 26, 2017 Thank you @mrsoundman and yes our internal search isn't the best. I use ours for a quick and lazy first search and if I'm struggling I open a google search. also @misiekped did a very good comparison and interchangeably post, well worth digging up.

Revere Posted May 26, 2017 Report Share Posted May 26, 2017 I think Yuki also has a comparison/teardown on the articles/blog section of his site, yukiwatch.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mead861 Posted May 27, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2017 I'm using the yuki 3135 in a 16200 gen case. If I didn't have a gen case I'd just use an eta movement. The yuki also lets you use a gen dial with out modifications Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
