Help with brand new VSF 116610lv

[paperfunk]

I recently ordered a VSF 116610lv from trusty time and it's gaining a full minute every 4-5 days. No watch repair center in my area will touch it since it's a rep.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated! Help!

HELP! How to set a VR3135 into beat?

Hi, please could you help me setting a VR3135 into beat? With adjusting A i got the movement to +5 sec/day but still have the 2.2ms difference. How to fix that? Thank you Marty

It does mention the vs3135 movement as well.

Give it a shot. What’s the worst that could happen? You could sell it but you’ll take a bad loss on it. It’s not like you’re going to make it so that you take much worse of a loss. Just try not to break or scratch up anything. Good luck

Serious question, what do you use your watches for since they need to be so incredibly accurate? I would NEVER notice a minute over 4-5 days....

I wear my watch for a couple of weeks and see how much it gains or loses and then adjust. Otherwise I’ll never know what it’s really doing. The position changes over a short period might be totally different than what you do normally so it’s best to get an average over long period.

Maybe he goes on the Mars mission with it.

That's like an average daily deviation of +12 sec to +15 sec per day. Not a big issue at all: these are replica movements and they are not designed/ calibrated to COSC spec like gen Rolex.

Hell, there are plenty of gen Rolex out there that performs worse than your findings due to age and mechanical wear/ tear.

To put your findings of a replica movement into perspective, the factory spec for an ETA 2824-2 standard grade movement (https://calibercorner.com/eta-caliber-2824-2/) is below:

Accuracy:​

The expected accuracy of the ETA caliber 2824-2 depends on the grade.

• Standard – +/-12 seconds per day up to +/- 30 sec/day
• Elaborated – +/-7 seconds per day up to +/- 20 sec/day
• Top – +/-4 seconds per day up to +/- 15 sec/day
• Chronometer – COSC spec

The average for this caliber is the +/12 seconds per day range since most of the 2824-2 movements out in the wild are the Standard grade.

Try using one of those free apps that measure beat etc. see what the results are. 3 of my 6 reps have similar numbers to what you posted, and it’s really not an issue, only one is actually meeting cosc specs which is my daily wear. It’s a stunning vsf 126610LV with a aftermarket pvd insert.
