According to one of the Chinese dealers

Clean is getting dandong vs 3235 movement in the coming months

Great news and may be a sign that the exclusive rights to vsf maybe ending

That isn't good news for VSF, there really is only two reasons why people pick them over Clean (movement / crystal). Will have to see how much Clean raises their prices on the DateJust if they do get the DD3235 movement.

the SH movements are the main reason that is keeping me away from clean since i prefer the DD movements, interesting development.

Keeping in mind that CF is typically a little more expensive already. I'm sure it will reflect.

Interesting. Maybe VSF really isn't doing great and Dandong wants to stay afloat.

Maybe I'm different but VR32xx has always been more reliable for me. I never have problem with it even if it does feel gritty to wind. Meanwhile my VS32xxx reps have had multitude of minor problems lol

I haven't checked the prices between the two factories lately. When I purchased my Clean DJ two years ago (previous VR3235 movement) it was $100 cheaper than the VSF.

Same experience. My VS3230 was gritty for about 2 days, and free-spin crown. Dunzo. Keyless gone and winding gear toast (I'm assuming). I replaced it with a VR3235 (has a ghost position now), but flawless. Works perfectly.

It's not considerable (less than $50) but still more money. Either it's a better watch or it's more desirable.

VS32x series has had numerous minor keyless complaints, winding slipping, stem failure? a typical minor flaw, and then also a double date skip (date wheel jumps 2 days not one), etc.

And keyless / stem painful to replace on VS - - have to find a gen stem

I agree. I've had three VS' conk out on me. all replaced with VR's.

Mind you, all three with the same issue. I was regulating them and the hairspring just got bent out of shape. The regulating pins on them are always so tight.

VS3135's have never run consistently well for me either. But a VR has kept COSC while being dry.

Picked Clean because I found it aesthetically nicer than the VSF in everyway. I had a VR3235 and VS3235 movement already and knew both were good.

Can't disagree here, esp. with the 3135. VR3135 is possibly one of my favorite movements.

The only benefit of going dandong 32xx is you going to upgrade with genuine parts , fitted a genuine balance complete yesterday and without much adjustment it's running -+ 2 seconds in most positions , having said its quite expensive at 700 euro
