Which of the replica Submariner 3135 movements from different factories such as N Factory, AR, V9, ZZ has better stability?

The Rolex Submariner model is produced by V9 Factory with a high-tech ceramic case, standard case diameter and Dandong 3135 Clone movement architecture. It is among the most successful 1:1 super clone watch reviews on the market, with its sapphire crystal AR coating glass, original case tolerances and detailed workmanship.

How is the N Factory Rolex green/black Submariner 3135 movement?

Let me talk about N Factory's 3135 first. This mechanism has gone through many revisions and reached today's V10 version. The early 3135 was really bad; Its common problems were date sticking and poor power reserve. If you were not careful when setting the date - and there was no way to be careful - the date gear could easily malfunction. Afterwards, you had to wind it manually every day, otherwise the watch would stop working the next day. I've been so intimidated by N Factory's 3135s since their V4 release that I forgot the last time I recommended this factory's 3135; I only recommend the one with the 2836 movement. Even though the factory says that 3135 will be more stable than before when it comes to the V10 version, I still do not want to be the guinea pig of the factory and do not joke with customers. N Factory generally offers two movement options, 3135 or 2836, in each model. 2836 is about 300 cheaper; Saving the money and buying the stable one is the smart choice. Unless the new 3135 is actually much more stable, there's no point in shelling out that extra 300 and living in worry.

Is the AR Factory Rolex green/black Submariner 3135 movement stable? Does it malfunction easily?

Now let me talk about AR Factory. It also offers the 3135 movement option, but this 3135 is actually not much different from N Factory's; Return to service rate is very high. Watch stopping, date stuck, all are common service problems. What deserves praise is that the workmanship of AR Factory's watches is absolutely first class; But this is exactly where the 3135 movement falls short. AR Factory's real weakness is that it lacks the ability to develop mechanisms; It has to outsource and cannot ensure quality control. Fortunately, AR Factory can offer 2824 movement options on most models. This mechanism is actually quite good; Real Seagull 2824 is used, its stability and time accuracy are extremely successful. The mechanism I recommend every time; It also makes it easier to upgrade to the Swiss mechanism in the future, which is another topic. If you absolutely must buy the 3135 and you can't stand the reverse adjustment direction, then you don't need to consider AR.

Is the quality of the V9 Factory Rolex green/black Submariner 3135 movement good?

V9 Factory's Submariner also has the 3135 movement. The level of exaggeration in this factory's promotional copy is absolutely top-notch; With every new product launch they write hundreds of words praising how good they are. The workmanship of this Submariner is not bad, it is okay. There is a bit of illusion in this mechanism; Half of the gears visible in the top layer are fake. An entry-level Seiko movement sits beneath the guise of a 3135 with a faux bridge. The downside to this is fake gears; But since it is not visible from behind the closed case, it is not a problem. However, after the bridge was installed and the balance weight was added to the rotor, the installation noise increased considerably and the sound looks really cheap. Its advantage is that it is a Japanese mechanism; There is no need to develop it from scratch, and its stability is better than N Factory or AR Factory's 3135 movement. Then a blue mainspring was added to please some novices. Originally, this blue mainspring is blue in color due to the material and temperature and functions as magnetic protection. This blue mainspring from V9 Factory is painted directly; If the paint powder is spilled, it affects the work, also the unevenness of the paint layer also affects the opening and collecting of the mainspring, it is different from the original workmanship. However, consumers like it, I'm too lazy to even explain it anymore.

Can the ZZ Factory Rolex green/black Submariner 3135 movement compete with the original?

Finally, let me talk about the ZZ Factory Submariner, which has become very popular lately. In addition to the color of the ceramic bezel being closest to the original, this 3135 movement is also dazzling. Not only are its functions compatible with the original, it even has the feature of setting the date back; It's really very successful. According to the feedback I have received since the gradual shipment started, there is no mechanism-related problem; All of them are minor problems such as screw loosening. This shows that the stability of this 3135 is definitely good. Moreover, this factory also promises that if there is a problem with the mechanism, it will directly replace the mechanism without repairing it. This after sales approach is really good; It also indirectly reveals how solid the quality of this mechanism is. However, the ZZ Factory V2S green Submariner has not been able to keep up with demand since its launch; The factory has not yet had the opportunity to offer the version 2836 option. I guess, when interest decreases in the future, mechanism options will become more diverse.

After seeing the 3135 movement from a few factories, I think you watch lovers have an idea. On the original 3135 side, the price is around 20 thousand each and there is no stock. If you want ultimate stability, upgrade to ETA 2836 or ETA 2824; If you like the 3135, I sincerely recommend ZZ Factory's Submariner. That's it for today; If there is anything I haven't mentioned, feel free to add it, thank you.
