About $100. But who would buy it?

Plus these movements are very unreliable.

It's a piece of crap

Orchi, for some reason buddy, I don't think you'll get those requested photos...I think this was a test post by the OP.

Looks like to me it is another test to see if someones junk will pass for a Rolex. This is a common problem on this forum it is hard to determine who is who, when it comes to asking a real question or a test question. :(

I guess we can't know for sure yet, but highly likely.

Original Poster has very low post count. Earlier posts has been related to this one, ie "is this real"...

No big secret- I've seen the photo of the Chinese movement on several replica web sites. The OP could have just copied it from them. It clearly is different from the real 3135.
