giorgio Posted September 16, 2007 Report Share Posted September 16, 2007 An update of my understanding following a discussion with Ms King..... 1. In all communications since, she now refers to the movt as a 3135 (not 3035); 2. This 3135 is "real genuine" movement - so that puts paid to these clone rumours Darn, I guess that means that my 1:1 perfect sub with a 3035 clone dream is just that.

docblackrock Posted September 16, 2007 Report Share Posted September 16, 2007 They should seriously getting into using 2824-2's, they are thinner. Together with thinner datewheel overlays and thinner dial spacers and eventually higher pinion, it would be no look further to finally have a correct depth case with correct crown position.Selita SW200 would be preferable all round IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rosnik Posted September 17, 2007 Report Share Posted September 17, 2007 (edited) BMW , the best is to see some movement picture of this YM! May be, it's the beginning of one new 'replica era'!! Edited September 17, 2007 by rosnik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jiro Posted September 17, 2007 Report Share Posted September 17, 2007 3035 or 3135....I'd love to see some movement picture either way..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolexman Posted September 18, 2007 Report Share Posted September 18, 2007 (edited) Movement pics added on King's site... it shows a gen Rolex 3035... not a 3135 :cc_confused: It's also available in a Seadweller but it does not look like the prototype we saw earlier.

giorgio Posted September 18, 2007 Report Share Posted September 18, 2007 Movement pics added on King's site... it shows a gen Rolex 3035 Is there any way that could be a replica? I noticed the print isn't filled with yellow - maybe it's just the pic. Either way, I've seen old datejusts on ebay go for as low as $1000-2000 with 3035 in them, so a $2500 replica with a genuine movement isn't that exciting. Finding out that they had indeed copied a Rolex movement would be more exciting IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cableguy Posted September 18, 2007 Report Share Posted September 18, 2007 interesting....but not for 2500.00 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docblackrock Posted September 18, 2007 Report Share Posted September 18, 2007 I wish it were true but that pic above shows no clone. To compare: It's strange because twice Connie made a point of stressing movt was 3135 to me, don't know why? Also, price I was quoted was $2000 not $2500. Maybe she/watchmaker picked up a handful/small lot of beaten up DJs? Those rotors show signs of 'character' after all So $500-700 a piece, salvage the movt, clean and service, drop in rep case, and voila, very tasty profit!

vmena Posted September 18, 2007 Report Share Posted September 18, 2007 King confirmed me that it's a 3135. 3035 is all sold out! No 2892 available. Price quoted is between 2000 and 2500 USD so seems she's quoting a different price every time. I've seen old datejusts on ebay go for as low as $1000-2000 with 3035 I've seen them also, so I would go for one of this before paying 2500 for a rep.

giorgio Posted September 18, 2007 Report Share Posted September 18, 2007 I've seen them also, so I would go for one of this before paying 2500 for a rep. That's what blows me away about these pricese lately. For $2500 with a bit of luck, you could own a Genuine Rolex, and an Omega. No sports models, but still genuine. Maybe she/watchmaker picked up a handful/small lot of beaten up DJs? Those rotors show signs of 'character' after all wink.gif So $500-700 a piece, salvage the movt, clean and service, drop in rep case, and voila, very tasty profit! That's probably what they're doing, but I still wouldn't put it past them to perfectly clone a Rolex movement and never say anything about it so they could sell them as genuine. They've been doing that with Ibanez guitars for about a decade now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FxrAndy Posted September 18, 2007 Report Share Posted September 18, 2007 For $2500 you can pick up a gen non discount SFSO in germany and i expect i could get a PO for less than that as well. THAT IS A LOT OF MONEY. However it is the deam of many to have a gen rolex movement! and i am sure some one will buy these. After all people pay for the HBB and that has the asian 7750 and what is that costing now $900 even with the GEN chinese bezel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rckh Posted September 18, 2007 Report Share Posted September 18, 2007 IMHO; it's totally "INSANE" to get a rep with Gen Movement at USD$2000-2400. If I can afford this amount; I rather than grab a second-hand GEN. Even they equip a Gen Movement; they still a rep.

Nightstroker Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 IT IS BETTER TO POST IN A PRE EXISTING THREAD THAN TO START A NEW ONE!!!!....so here goes.... I cant believe that there has not been more info on this board about the King SSD with Gen 3035????.... Is anyone aware of this watch?.... Would like to know if anyone has pulled the trigger on this one....probably in the $2500 range I suppose....my search came up empty handed on this forum....
