ziax Posted February 1, 2018 Report Share Posted February 1, 2018 Hi all gonna be buying a rep rolex with AC 3135 Movement I'm gonna get some bits done to it but like service piled greased etc but not for the first month of having it I'll enjoy it for what it is but what is the Movement like straight out of the box I heard that you should get it serviced as soon as you get it as some of the parts fall off and the Movement can go wrong I would like some experienced AC 3135 Movement owners opinions on this Thanks like forward to your replies!

Mike on a bike Posted February 1, 2018 Report Share Posted February 1, 2018 Well I do not know the ins and outs of the 3135 sure others will chime in but a service is a very good idea right from the get go. Next question is who is going to service it unless you have somebody. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike on a bike Posted February 2, 2018 Report Share Posted February 2, 2018 Freddie I do not know of any "jewelers" who can perform a service on a Asian movement forget the mods find a rep modder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike on a bike Posted February 2, 2018 Report Share Posted February 2, 2018 If he is capable of working on the movement and doing the mods consider it a a golden find! PS treat him well and pay the price if so you are lucky! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PS treat him well and pay the price if so you are lucky!Ok thanks for your replies they were very helpful I'm hoping to buy the watch in the next 2 weeks and the more I think about it he probably won't be able to do it so probably will send it off to someone on here do you know if there's any rep modders in the U.K. by any chance?

Legend Posted February 2, 2018 Report Share Posted February 2, 2018 Hi Freddie, I have not heard of an "AC3135" movement. What I have seen are the SA3135 movement and SH3135 movement. The SH3135 movement is reliable after servicing, and of course even more so when parts are replaced with ones from the Rolex caliber.

Hi Legend I made AC short for Asia Clone sorry if I confused you I was wondering if it was reliable straight out of the box as I was going to wear the watch stock for a month while I get all the parts I need I just don't want it braking on me Cheers Kind Regards Freddie Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go for the SH3135 if you can, and be gentle when operating the crown to wind the watch or set time. It is one weakness of the movement. The good news is that the movement can be easily upgraded using gen Rolex parts when they do break on you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will advise you to wear it until the movement gives (if it gives at all) and then upgrade it. I am glad you found this forum useful, there are many very knowledgeable members here, much more than myself. They will be able to help you along your own rep journey.

Alright I'll where it as it is I'm assuming that isn't going to break in a few months I've had dhgate reps that cost £100 with a 2813 movement which isn't the best movement and it lasted longer than I thought and yeah I think they only make the SA3135 movement I haven't seen the SH3135 which is a shame as you can swap some of the parts for real parts but can you change dials and date wheel with that movement?
