[atjovic]

Uhr70 yes I have quite a few that start with 2R as well but I have about 7 that start with A88 and the one that is 665S...

All purchased after raids

 

[Rehaut19]

Mmmm All of my VSF 126610 start with 2R, including two I just received "post raids".

Also blue one?

116619LB start with 66

Ditto - got one starting with A88 but my Smurf is still an S29xxxxx

I really don't know what to think of all this talk about "R factory makes the best Rolex" in the past. Is this the end of this classic joke, or is that statement going to be proven true in more than one sense?

haha you make a good point

My bad, only have LN and LV.

New Factory - RF Factory Upcoming 126610 Release

Despite the raids happening in the market, factories are still coming up with new stocks and this does not stop RF Factory from being born.

RF Factory is proud to introduce their first release of 126610 Submariner, which will be using their in-house RF3235 movement.

Hi Guys,

Just saw this release and I have to say I'm liking what I'm seeing so far except for that shitty "fake free-sprung balance crap". It's really not fooling anybody and just make servicing/regulating this watch movement a lot harder.

I have seen a lot of these "imitation VSF" on the market lately.

For example: https://www.reddit.com/r/RepTime/comments/nbi2tp/new_release_v_factory_rolex_submariner_126610lnlv/

Personally, I would like to see the final product in hand first before making any judgements right now. Most of these "new releases" are really not on par with VSF and the quality isn't as good as it can be. I have a hunch this has some similarities with the V Factory 126610 Submariners I was shown a few months ago.

I have heard that CLEAN will be entering the 126610 market soon without the VS3235 movement but with the same cases as the VSF 126610. They are negotiating a deal as of the moment while the VSF boss is still in jail. This just something shared by a dealer to me. Cannot confirm if it's 100% true but I wouldn't be surprised if it was.

My 126610LN and LV starts with 2R,
my 126619LB has the A88 at the beginning.
Is there now the vs3235 or the vr hybride movement at work?

IMHO, they aren't so much different from VSF's. I don't see improvements, atm.

Would be good to compare both vsf and this new one to see if in fact.. is the same factory . But it is kind of silly, im sure is the same. Hopefully the watch has being improved.

Hard to say yet bro they haven't been out long. But they could be fine. In the VR3235 thread that I linked to a few posts ago, I commented that it could be a nice combo because the VR3135 is a solid workhorse and they used parts of if to adapt it to a movement that would accommodate the 126x Sub dial and DW.

Also, the VS3235 has had some known issues so I'm not sorry to see that movement being replaced.

Hey kj, do yoi think this rf/vr 3235 will also take gen hands?

 

[Mr.pitt]

Another bait and switch, dont hold your breath

 

[mech500]

Hey kj, do yoi think this rf/vr 3235 will also take gen hands?

How would anyone know that for sure?

 

[Jayalvin777]

You got a point there but so far as we know the vmf has been already in the market for some months and they have been shipping their watches with the vr3235 so i was curious as if anyone would have try something out already and perhaps kj has heard about it, has he stated the vr3235 takes gen dial and dw. No better person to ask than kj, this was a question merely out of curiosity not stupidity.

 

[StreetFighter]

Oh, nice. I'll be having an LV thanks.

It should bro, all the VRs and VSs do so far.

 

[atjovic]

mech500 yes my modder/watchsmith says it will take gen hands and also takes a 3235 date wheel

 

[Jayalvin777]

Thanks for the feedback KJ. I know wonder as i have not seen this new vr/rf3235 if the date seating plate is based on the 3235-C-600 or the 3235-A-600?

 

[sfbatman787]

The new RF3235 looks like it will take 3135 DW but 3235 style dial. The hands are interchangeable between gen 3235 and gen 3135 so either way gen hands will fit. I personally do not like the mismatch movement and love the crisp and instant date flip of the 3235 over the 3135. Whether or not gen balance wheel and bridge are going to fit, is still yet to be seen.

It's the one for the Sub 41 of course so my guess is the part # would be 3235-C-600.

I think the DJ41 part number is 3235-A-600, since it's been around longer.

Both models use the exact same movement in gen, the date seating plate and datewheel are bigger on the DJ41

VS3235 126610 (Sub 41)

VS3235 126334 (DJ41)

A damn walking encyclopedia - thanks for all of this comprehensive information!

If the RF3235 is like the VR3235 (likely as I suspect there are not two new next gen rep "3235s"), it will take a 3235 datewheel. The 3235 datewheel teeth have a different shape, and are in a different position relative to their adjacent numerals.

VR3135 (note dial feet holes at 2:30 and 7:30)
