Received QC today. Cant tell if this is the updated version. Looks like the crown sticks out a little and not flush with the case.

Mine is the exact same way. Some here have gotten the same mk1 dial and Flat 4 with a flush crown. I think we just need to replaced the crown and tube with Gen. I also plan on swapping the bezel with WSO because my bezel sucks (no click feeling).Received QC today. Cant tell if this is the updated version. Looks like the crown sticks out a little and not flush with the case.
It’s good. It means the watch runs 3 seconds fast. Rolex Swiss chronometers run in the area of +2/-2 when serviced (but watches run differently after being knocked around). And the amplitude is 270° which gen Rolexes run within. Looks like you’re good to goPlease help me out guys, I don't know anything about timegraphs. Are these good:

Does the top right lug Look bent?Received QC today. Cant tell if this is the updated version. Looks like the crown sticks out a little and not flush with the case.
I am seeing a trend on the timegrapher pics and mine at home.
The signal lines are sometimes clear and defined, sometimes they are not (like post #507). My SH's used to do that almost all the time. It isn't as consistent as a VR/VS would be.
Mine is still about +3 s/d (best I could get it to). I have a VR getting delivered today and I'll post some nice comparison shots.

I wish I could have your mindset.
As much as I love AR crystals, I just can’t stand the idea of having a non period correct part in any of my watches

Date too highIs it just me being obsessive and unrealistic about the nature of reps, or is this a bad sel to lug fit? You can see gap on it.

Haha I get it bro. Being able to make reps any way I want them has ruined me. I can't live without a glidelock clasp on my gen anymore either.I wish I could have your mindset.

PCL anyone?
All red insert?
I think I've lost it sometimes but it's just so much fun!
Busy evening at Manic MCD's garage where I just did a VR swap to the watch.
"Now, MCD, why would ya do that if your movement was running okay?"
Mind ya business, that's why,
Anyway. I have seen a lot of these SHV2 movements on the timegraphers, mine included, with very high amplitudes. I've handled countless VR movements and even the best ones do not go north of 260ish degrees. I am a man who sticks with things who have proven their worth. VR has proven its worth since it came out and I am honestly accustomed to doing these swaps no matter what.
So, here we go.
These numbers are more realistic when it comes to 3135 movements.
While doing the swap, I noticed that the dial hole is "offset" while on the VR3135. I did not notice this on the SHV2. I only noticed something was wrong after installing the hands and noticing that they were perfectly aligned at 12 but not at 6. I managed to loosen the dial, install the hands, and then tighten the dial and that sorted that.
While I was doing that, the case was going through a 5ATM wet test. I did it this way since everyone likes to tug on my cojones when I do these tests with the movement in. I am very happy to report that the watch is water resistant out of the box to 50 meters, 150 feet, or 5 atmospheres. Way more than most of us will ever go down to. Only thing I did was to grease all seals with silicone grease.
Finally, after some in-case adjustment, here are the numbers.
I am now in the process of taking some HD/Macro pics of an SH, a VR, and a SHv2 movement comparison that I will be posting in the Movements section.

Great stuff-
