VSF 8500 'Superclone' is nothing like but a decorated hybrid 2836

[Oakleyspatz]

Having seen this so called Superclone 8500 movement taken apart, it is nothing like. No co-axial escapement, no silicone balance wheel, no adjustable screws on the balance wheel. It is actually just a decorated, hybrid 2836 movement. The train wheels are straight off a 2836.
Dont be fooled by the improved decoration, this is not the Superclone movement you've been led to believe.

Then how do they do the independent hour hand jump...:shok:

Did you really think they repped the 8500 in full...cost are just too high for a brand new design

We know it mate, it's been discussed in the big thread. And actually it is very good VSF is only a partial clone, the things you've mentioned would have complicated the service of the rep movement.

Hi Sherlock Holmes, nice to meet you sir lol

Nobody actually thought it was a like for like clone of the co-axial movement. We have already discussed that here and most people prefer that to avoid reliability issues.

You are however doing them a huge disservice by saying it's just a decorated 2836. The jumping hour hand that can take the date back and forth is impressive for a rep factory selling a $300 watch.

did they implement a dual barrel design to improve the power reserve also?

Are u idiot? Or is other factory send you here to said that stupid shit? Do 2836 have quick adjust hour hand? Do 2836 have twin barrel power reserved up to 72hrs?? sure the true is not an co axial movement , but also not just decorated 2836 too... Lol
