Agreed. I JUST got a notification on 4PX that my package has arrived at its next delivery hop about 20 miles from my house at 10:35PM tonight. It's 9:49PM. I will be emailing 4PX for the lottery numbers tomorrow.

Haha. That’s good news!
How long ago was your order shipped?

4PX got the package on January 27th, I got shipping info from the TD on January 25th. So overall, it's been pretty quick this time.

Oh wow. Lucky! I also received the shipping info from my TD on the 25th and I haven’t heard a thing. I imagine that I won’t see anything until it arrives to USA.
What country are you in?

let's get back to topic. My daily driver although being using the datejusts more these days, kinda crazy that vsf released the 116xxx almost 5 months ago.

Also USA, this is one of the faster deliveries I've had.

My freshly serviced S19 serial Hulk with gen hands and date assembly.

Incredible rep, my favourite (and most cost effective) build hands down.

Nice vid on youtube, at about 23:30 he puts a gen balance into the vs3135, then he puts the vs balance into the gen movement, imo vsf can easily do aftermarket parts business :D

This is wild! Which individual parts are actually needed to convert a vs3135 into a full gen3135 clone, aside from the balance bridge?
I’ve been toying with this idea since getting my VSF’s
Would be a fun project.

It's only the balance, all the other parts are funtionally the same in the clone

I have a tiny problem when unscrew the crow is smooth as butter but then to go to date change position or hour position I need to use force . Any clue what is causing this? Thanks

Mine is the same when you pull out to time setting it requires an unnerving amount of force and sounds like it’s crunching. I had mine serviced and it still does it but watchmaker assured me movement good.
