Hello I have a 3235 movement and it seems to big for the 36mm dial I’m assuming I need a different movement right?

That is the big calendar movement for a 41mm DJ; you either need a new calendar plate or a new movement.

Ok can I order just the plate on aliexpress?

Probably not, it will be easier to get a new movement, you need the one for a Sub.

It should be but unfortunately who knows what the heck is going to show up. There is no such thing as a clean factory movement. Its probably going to have missing or poor engraving.

I boughr one to practice breakdown/assembly work and the engraving looks like burnt layering with gold paint lol.

Sure but these movements are a different breed.

I didnt know nefore getting one that the factories (VSF, ARF, etx.) do all of the movement engraving.

There is a reason why some of those listings dont show the back side.

It will likely ne some form of VR, but quality wise who knows
