When you reject the QC pics what do these TDs end up doing? Ordering a new watch from the factory? Or do they simply refund you?
Bad date alignment. I had to reject.
Then they’ll send pictures of the rejected watch to the next person in hopes they’ll accept.

Has anyone notice the winding is a little rough? When you unscrew the crown to wind the watch (mine at least) it is a little rough and almost feels like it is catching on something when winding the crown. Is there a fix for this? Or is this common with these kinds of movements?

Shoot mine is worse than that and I GL'ed.

Does anyone know if the 3135/3185 16200 Datewheel will fit the VR3235?

It will fit, but the teeth are at bottom number on the gen and VR3235 DW so the numbers would not be centered vertically if a 3135 DW was installed. 3135 DW teeth are at mid number.

There are a great many rep DW's on which the 25 shows a 5 slightly elevated from the 2. You can see it in my example VR3235 above. It is usually the only digit having this anomaly.
As far as left and right alignment goes, how it appears in the cyclops and relative to the date window changes with viewing angles. So keep that in mind when evaluating QC pics.
Are my eyes deceiving me?

Thanks for the info, very helpful. Unfortunately there was misalignment on several other dates. I had a Clean datejust which had perfect alignment, so I know they can do better.

The VR movement is known for winding a little rough - has a sandy/gritty winding action.

Does this mean all #25 dates are misaligned?

I didn't say all, I said many bro. If they are in the same batch (production run) which can be thousands at a time, then those will all be the same.
