VSF 126610 Submariner with VS3235 Latest Movement 72 Hours Power Reserve

[mandipan]

Does anyone have a source for identical springbars to fit the vsf 126610? I wouldn't mind keeping a few extras on hand.

Saw a couple of gen ones at 125€ on CH24

How much was the gen crystal? Those aren't easy to get at the moment.

Guys I have received my LV with the VS3235 Movement. It does feel rather stiff on winding - still smooth but a little harder to wind than others I own.

I'd like to keep this going as long as possible before it fails or needs servicing, any key tips to keep the movement in order? Can it be overwound?

Today I finally received my watch and I'm very happy so far.
The build quality is very good and the lume is incredible.

Hi all,
A quick question; If I get a Kermit and I decide the green bezel is too much after a while, and would like to change it to a black, is that possible?
Where would you get a black bezel from, to look like genuine?
Thanks

Hmm I had same issue. First I thought I overwound it as well. After lonnng 70 hours I wound again and stiff/rather feeling was gone.

Torque124 I ordered from Puretime

And they supplied you the screwdriver for free?

I would honestly recommend doing the exact opposite. Get it serviced BEFORE wearing it for some years, knowing it’s going to last and run great.
I serviced an ARF Sea Dweller, when it was probably half a year old, ran otherwise great, but the movement was already on its way out, due to some debris from the factory grinding everything to dust...
I took a macro shot

Mine was the same, think its just the movement stopping you over winding it. I could feel the 'clutch' mechanism slipping as I wound. When it ran down it was silky smooth again.

Guys, don’t wind your watch unless it needs to be wound. If it’s ticking, just leave it alone.

I read that you can't overwound the movements. does that not apply to this movement? or is it because of the chinese clones

You cannot overwound a movement, the winding mechanism will just disengage from the main spring when fully loaded.But why stress every component by trying? Like it was mentioned above, if working ,wear it and let the automatic rotor do the job while you are moving

I just leave mine on the winder during the night - the winder rotates 1h and then stops for the next 4h...

 

[sgt.njoy]

Well for me I had just received the watch and needed to test if all mechanism was working. It started after about 10-15 rotation. Anyway I was really surprised how this movement last about 70 hours!

Same. I know there is a rationale that reps last longer off a winder, but I've only ever run into problems when a rep hasn't been used / wound for a while. Usually, because the reversing gears seize up.

I will see how it goes, never had a gen Rolex at 0/sec per day

I just ordered a "kermit" version from Puretime. The QC look great. Maybe slightly off bezel at 12 and 6, but the 3 and 9 were straight. I was going to ignore it and hope it was just the camera angle.
The timegrapher gave me mixed feelings. 1.2 s/day, awesome... 0.0ms beat error, awesome. But the Amplitude was 238. And I really don't want to send it off right away to get serviced. I like to wear them for a few months and then send it off when the newness wears off.
Am I being to picky?

Gen Rolex 2sec.
After 5 Years: 2sec.

Rep: 0-10sec
After 5 days:
