Got my new VSF Hulk few days ago. It is beautiful. The movement run and wind smoothly. Kept great time +2 seconds a day. Then, one night it stopped. With full wind the second hand did not move. The AD I bought it from gives 6 month warranty but I had to send it back to China. Didn't want the trouble nor wait for another 2 month to wear my new watch. I opened the back cover. Using a loupe, I saw a 3mm metal piece stock in the balance wheel. Tried to take it out with a tweezers. Didn't have a good hold and the balance wheel started moving and pushed it into the movement and I couldn't see it any more. Good thing this is a 100% clone VS3135. Youtube has many good video show how to disassemble. Good thing I didn't have to remove the hands and dial. Removed the oscillating weight, automatic plate and bridge/balance wheel. There was the loose part. Took it out, reassemble the movement. Hulk has been running fine since.
Anybody know if this part is part of the 3135 movement? Can I do without it?
