KJ: I obtained some VS3135s that are un-engraved. They are definitely VS but I was advised stocks are limited so I guess they're unengraved pre-raid leftovers. If engravings are not important then these should satisfy someone wanting a VS3135.

thrillofhunt got them for me.

Can these be used in a ARF 36mm DJ? Most people upgrade to the VR3135 but now I’m wondering if the VS is possible?

Yes, vr and vs 3135 are the same size.

The movement on the right in those pics is a VR3135. AFAIK, the VS3135 is no longer being made as VSF no longer exists. Surely there are fake VS3135s being made by some factories, and some that I've seen on Ali Express. But I don't believe these are the same as an original VS3135 in an original VSF rep when they were still being made.

thanks for the info. There is still VSF3135 sub on sale in Jtime store. I ordered one, will check the movement after the arrival.

Do the re-emerged VSF watches have the VS3135? I haven't seen any updated checks

Gods own country! Yorkshire.
Just got my VSF 116610 and yes it has the VS inside. Mine came with a slightly bent second hand pinion so I’m fitting a gen wheel so thought I’d service it at the same time. It’s a very well made and clean movement but as dry as a desert. The reversing wheels look well made on mine so I’ll leave for now. Did fit a gen dw though.
