VSF 126610 Submariner with VS3235 Latest Movement 72 Hours Power Reserve

[Debellum]

I thank everyone for the quick answers.
What pisses me off is that one of the very few VSF 126610 with the 3235 malfunctioning is mine.
I'm the first to say that they are reps and therefore you cannot expect perfection. But when 98/100 126610 runs at about +5 seconds in 24 hours and mine is 22 , I should go to church and put the watch in holy water......:cry2:
I would have understood +7/8 seconds in 24 hours , but one minute every 3 days is absurd.

Agreed that it’s way out of spec, but unless something internally is wrong, it can be brought back to spec pretty easily. Sorry for your trouble. I know it’s disappointing.

Enough , but they are the rules of this game.
Shit happens.
Tomorrow I will call a local watchmaker and find a solution.

Have a nice day

Gen balance installed in LN from Geektime.

Nice! Do you have a Rolex part number for the complete balance assembly used there please?
What was the cost of the parts?

Hi, I got a gen 126610lv recently. I think it might be a good idea to post a couple of photos for reference. Unfortunately, I don’t have the VSF 126610 lv, but I do have the vsf hulk. The vsf is very gen like, I have no doubt.

Here are the pictures.

Wow, amazing thanks for sharing the pics. Do you intend to get the VSF rep too? It would be great to see a comparison.

It really is an almost perfect rep..............................
What can they invent more for a possible V2..?
And tomorrow morning in my LN he will go to the watchmaker for:

1) Cal.3235 control to bring about +4/5 seconds per day.
2) Waterproof test at 6 Bar

Even the watchmaker told me that it is really useless to spend money to put the gen bridge + balance wheel.
I'll let you know when he comes back.

[mention]2001025 [/mention] Thankyou for doing that.

Really the VSF Cermit looks very close to me. Where are you based? I’d love to see a comparison

My 126610 was running -15 in 24 hrs. Sent it out for service, now about -1. Also passed 10 bar water test. This was the worst of my VSF OOTB.
My 116610 LN and LV were both -1 and my 2018 Seamster 300m diver is running a perfect 0, OOTB not touching them.

Is it me, or does the gen have a super shiny rehaut in those pics it’ll Obviously be brushed but it’s really shining there. The reps superb

Yes, the rep can use a bit of polishing from a cape cod cloth for this effect.

What am I missing with the 22 second loss in 24 hours?
‘I’m trying to understand this as best as I can. So In three days you will lose one minute?
Are Reps supposed to be extremely accurate? The cost is 5% of the real thing correct? I’m trying to learn as much as I can about this process to ensure I make the best decision on any purchase.

86400 seconds in a day.. 22 seconds out, this equates to each second being 0.00025463 seconds slow. Not that bad on paper, but over day it adds up. .

Wow, really no point buying a gen if reps are this good and well made!!!

Like I had wrote , I understand that this is a rep , and I have never demanded perfection. I am aware that it costs 5% compared to the gen. But if I can improve a small defect with a few Euro , why not.....?
I remind you that there are still people who spend 4/5 thousand Euro for a Franken , and it is always reps. And so.....?

To most automatic watch fans -22 is pretty bad timing. Most people expect +- 10 seconds or better, which is not asking for too much.

First day out with the new 12LN, I'm very pleased. It's very similar to the old 5 digit Sub which is great. I was amazed at how bright white is was in the daylight, just like gen. I had to take a pic or two..

+1
Next time , I will write nothing about.
I don’t pretend to change the shit in gold.
But a simple regulation of balance wheel.
I ask too much ? I’ve asked the founds to someone ? So , I’m not a child , and I can’t pretend the moon for 500 Euro. I’ve learn the reps lessons from 2012 when I came in RWI.

I’m a very very happy 4 U.
This new watches from VSF Factory here’s incredible. No fucking gen parts to fit , no founds to spend , unboxing and go to wrist. ????
Bye bye fucking Franken....????
Emh , maybe if you’re unlucky a little service for the balance wheel. ????????
