114060 Clean VR3130 June 27th

[Pureblood]

Placed order to Steve via bitcoin for black 114060 no date sub from CF through his website/telegram. Steve has been very helpful so far and I am eagerly awaiting my QC pictures. This is my first foray into the world of replica watches and I am equally excited and nervous. Will update thread.

Update: I have received QC pictures and on the outside the watch looks great, however upon zooming in I believe that the wrong movement has been placed in this watch. An 114060 submariner is supposed to have a 3130 movement and this watch has an OP/Explorer/Cellini 3132 inside it. I have included an enhanced picture of the movement below. If it were a small flaw in the dial I would let it go but having the entirely wrong movement inside the watch is troubling.

@eBoy what do you think? Am I being unreasonable to pass here? I feel like that’s a pretty big flaw unless there is something I am unaware of about 3132 movements inside 114060 submariners. This is my first time buying a higher end replica. Thanks in advance.

Full disclosure: I have almost no knowledge about Rolex reps or gens.

But if that's indeed the wrong movement, then of course it's a legitimate reason to decline. But is it the wrong one?

Best way to find out is to post this question, along with the photo, in our brands/Rolex section and see what our Rolex experts say. You should have plenty of answers within a relatively short amount of time. In here, it's a bit "hidden".

I'm sorry my friend, first of all we apologise for our negligence in checking, as warehouse staff usually don't look at the movement carefully and the factory didn't notify us that the movement has been changed in this model, that's why we didn't know about this defect in advance. Due to the discontinuation of the VR3130 movement, clean is now fitted with the 3132 movement. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to communicate with us and we will do our best to serve you well.

Clean Factory is no longer using the VR3130 in any of their watches? At all? Are they using the VS3130 instead? I am surprised that they would stop making the right movement for the watch. Using the 3132 seems like it would expose the watch as a not genuine very quickly. Are all of the factories doing this to the 114060 submariner?

 

[Pureblood]

Update: Apparently Clean Factory is discontinuing the VR3130 and is substituting the 3132 instead. So for anyone interested it might be better to hold off on ordering a CF 114060 for now. I have passed on this watch and have changed my order to the VSF 114060 Submariner with the VS3130 movement. I have heard the VSF is better than CF and it is the factory I had originally wanted. It will take longer to get but I am willing to wait. Very excited to receive my new watch and Steve has been very helpful.

Received and approved the QC pictures on my new VSF 114060, the watch is beautiful. I have been pouring over the wealth of resources in this forum and after extensive reading I am happy that things didn’t work out with the CF sub. I originally wanted the VSF but it wasn’t in stock at the time and I only wanted it because I saw the VSF as “the best sub” after briefly glancing through the numerous “who makes the best sub” threads on the internet and made up my mind that way. After reading all 160-something pages of the VSF Submariners thread here now I really get it. I think I will be glad that I waited.

Enjoy your new watch when you get it and wear it in good health. I have a VSF with date and the quality from their factory is amazing.
