Judging on the number posts for VSF, this will be a hot item and will result in lot's of QC posts and discussion comparing it to the gen as it looks 1 to 1 to the gen.

Don't you love it when the postman brings you stuff you've been waiting on from China!

Today I got this..

..a VR3135



What did you get today?

That's awesome, where does one source a VR3135 movement? Learning to tinker/service my own movements, would be really handy to get one of these...

I got it from Trusty. I love to tinker, I just get stuck in and learn how to do it as I go. Installed the VR3135 this evening. By far the hardest part was fitting the 2nd hand. All working now, all good. Gave it a brush too on my hand made brushing jig, the Satinizer3000 Deluxe..

Turns out, this is what was wrong with the VS.. see the little elongated horseshoe bar stuck to the stem there, that came out on the stem. Sadly I lost it, it pinged away when I tried to grab it with tweezers. KJ2020 will know what it is I'm sure, can you fix this movement buddy, may need to make this now missing part?

Awesome stuff! Thanks for answering, Iove threads like these keep it up!

How about the other bits (dial and hands)? Is that from Andy too?

The dial is out the watch I'm fixing. I just repaired a broken VSF Hulk by swapping the movement out, so I had to take the dial and hands off the VS and put it on the VR and back in the watch. The watch came from Andrew historically. Not mine, belongs to a member of the family.
