I’ve had to “blue hairspring” movements one serviced one not, both wind like poop. Serviced one actually strips now.

I have the VSF LV since last week Friday. The sound of the rotor is the quietest I have ever heard on a watch- and I don't just mean reps.
I have a gen Deepsea with the 3135, which sounds the same. Also the ticking, which is typical for Rolex, sounds similar (not same, but near).
The accuracy is current - 20 seconds from November 20th in the afternoon until today. So very accurate.

Very early to say. Mine coming up on a week.
Very smooth winding, disconcertingly quiet - I have to hold it on my ear with zero ambient noise to hear it.
+ 2 sec a day wearing it. + 6 a day static face up.

hi Andrew,
do you know if VSF will sell these movements separately at some stage just the SH and VR have done? Thanks

You can source them but it all depends on your td, they're not sold in a mass scale like sh or VR. Vs3135 cost around 190$

Without a nice relation with td you wont get it because tds don't make money out of sourcing parts. I know from my contacts in china that they have really big problems sourcing the vs3235 because vs has the only clone 3235 movement so they refuse to sell it separately. Vs3135 should be sourceable.
I read that often, wanted to order with a watch and still had no luck. But also didn't try too much because vsf sells like hot cakes at the moment and i think after some time it'll be easier to get them seperately, anyway my vsf will be here soon i hope, then i'll have my movement
much more fun ordering the whole watch ! This would be great! Even with over 10 years of buying history with some TD’s I still have had no luck getting one at this stage....Might just have to wait a little longer. Cheers for the info

I already said this somewhere else, again, at 190$ it really does not make sense to order separate movements when you can have the entire watch at less than 400$
the cost of an insert alone is already more than 100$ when bought separately, a bracelet maybe 100, crystal 60-80, dial 60, case definitely more than 100. With all those separate parts prices, the movement is already free of charge. I dont encourage profiteering, but taking out the movement and selling off remaining parts at reasonable prices (maybe 50% of what td would charge) in relation to an assumed realistic movement price of maybe 100$ is a win win situation for everyone here. You dont overpay ridiculous money for a chinese movement and members can get spare/upgrade parts at reasonable prices.
At least i would be happy to see the parts section flooded with cheap new parts, just as many others would be as well.
As long as your pricing is transparent and you dont end up with a free movement or even excess money, this should be perfectly fine with sales regulations here.

I dont think youre overpaying for what vs is doing with their movements, that's of course is subjective but i agree that buying the whole watch might be a better option i might most of the models vsf produces are better than what the market is offering, bracelet is 140$ for everyone information.
