Great news, someone has one!
Can you post an in-focus pic of this buddy? I'd like to see how deep and sharp profiled the SEL midlink is..
..also, can you do this and report back if you can shave your fingernail or how easy or how difficult it is to shave your nail?
Can you confirm how it feels to unscrew, and screw back in the crown, does it feel rough or gritty in any way or is smooooooth?
Lastly, can you pop it on the scales and report back the weight in grams?

at first glance it would seem good, best wishes brother and have fun with your first one
I think this looks great. Congratulations! Regarding the bezel alignment, try rotating backwards (to the right) a little. Sometimes there is a bit of backplay. You may be able to align it.

I'm very curious about what the power reserve on the new VR3235 movement is. Deerstalker99 I know it'll be hard not to wear your new sub constantly, but if possible I (and I'm sure others) would love to know how long the watch runs after it has been fully wound and then left stationary. The gen/vs3235 movement has a 72 hour power reserve, but since the VR3235 is a hybrid movement based on the 3135, it might only have a 48 hour power reserve. Inquiring minds want (dare I say, need) to know how this new Shanghai VR3235 movement stacks up.

I thought it was determined that this is indeed a clone 3235. There was a ton of chatter around the movement when this was first posted due to the lack of movement pictures, but I feel like I remember it being more than a hybrid movement. Then again, my brain does tend to turn to mush when I go down a nearly 50 page rabbit hole, so I welcome correction. In any case, I approved my QC a couple days ago and look forward to receiving what looks like a pretty good rep!
As far as I know (but also, not sure because 50 pages of discussion is a lot to sift through), the Shanghai 3235 (aka VR3235) is a hybrid movement that uses 3235-like parts on the bottom side and 3135-like parts on the dial side. But since we haven't seen one torn down yet, it's unknown how large the mainspring barrel is; and if it uses an asymmetric (not sure that's the right name) level escapement like the gen 3235 (apparently a good part of the gen's additional power reserve comes from a new pallet fork geometry which reduces sliding friction on pallet jewels -- or maybe I'm confusing this with the Omega dual axis escapement?) Regardless, it'd be great to know IRL what the power reserve is for this first example.

Hi,
Hope these photos are okay? Edges of links are crisp, but not sharp; they scratched my nail with moderate pressure.
crown unscrews smoothly, no rough feeling or grittiness.
it weighs 158 grams.
Again, I’m totally inexperienced with reps so you experts may have a very different opinion to me, but I’m happy with the watch and I guess at the end of the day that’s what matters?

Bracelet and clasp are nice and tight (but not too tight), and not floppy at all. No harshness to the edges, just nice and crisp.

RF factory is not raided. May I know where you get the misleading information from?
RF factory is open and their Submariners are available.
