Identity
A caliber is three separate things and this reference keeps them apart: the construction, the names it is sold under, and the article a brand actually bought. A watch model points at an execution — never at a bare construction — which is why “same caliber” is almost never a complete answer.

No source in this corpus states which grade any Rolex 3135 was bought at. That unknown is stored as a real row rather than left blank, so it can be counted, filtered and excluded from any comparison that would otherwise assume parity.

Commercial replacement in the Datejust and Submariner Date lines. The source explicitly denies that the 3235 is "just an evolution of the existing 3135 / 3136 movements", so this stays in the related table and cannot appear in an ancestry path.

Every brand here is on the strength of a source that names a watch and states this movement. Brands that use this caliber and nobody has sourced yet are absent — this is what has been researched, not what exists.
