How to Tell If My Replica is a VSF with VS3235 Movement? 😊

[arcadiodiego]

Hi everyone,

I'm new to the world of replica watches, and I recently purchased a replica with a VS3235 movement from a trusted dealer. While I trust my dealer, I'm still a bit unsure about how to tell if my watch is a VSF replica.

I'm hoping to get some advice and tips from fellow watch enthusiasts on how to identify a VSF replica with VS3235 movement. What are the key features that distinguish it from other replicas? How can I verify that my watch is indeed a VSF replica? I have uploaded a photo of my 126610lv link down below. Thanks a lot for tour help.

Best Regards

Open the caseback and look at the movement. Then compare it to the comprehensive guide to clone Rolex movements that I wrote:

There's a fundamental contradiction here.

In what way is your trusted dealer trusted, if after purchasing a rep from them, you feel compelled to come and ask whether your trusted dealer can be trusted?

Only use RWI Trusted Dealers.

If you used an RWI Trusted Dealer, then you shouldn't worry about it.

Firstly, thank you for your response, although I must say that I find it highly unhelpful. As someone new to the replica watch community, I am still learning and have every right to ask for guidance and advice. Just because I have asked for help does not mean that I distrust my dealer or have any ill intentions.
Your suggestion to only use RWI Trusted Dealers is appreciated, but it does not answer my question nor does it address the issue at hand. Furthermore, your comment is not relevant to the discussion and comes across as unhelpful and dismissive.
I would appreciate it if you could refrain from making such unhelpful comments in the future. If you cannot contribute constructively to the discussion, then please refrain from commenting at all. Thank you

I usually just ask the watch. It's pretty trustworthy.

I disagree, I find the comment has some pertinence to the question at hand as it tries to understand the reasons why you have doubts in the first place. Secondly, it offers a relevant opinion on what is usually to be expected from an RWI TD. Finally, it doesn't sound dismissive nor provocative to me, it poses a legitimate question that could help in discovering the root cause of your concern, which may be of interest to some of us.
Now here I have a question that is not relevant to the discussion: why post this question (for the second time, btw) in the hangout section? Talking about pertinence.

As far as I know only VSF use the VS movement for the time being. The VS movement has a 60-70 hr power reserve. Wind it fully and see how long it lasts. If it’s 40 hrs it’s not a vs movement….

Appreciate it

Or... it's a VS movement, in need of a service.

As it’s a recent purchase it’s highly unlikely …. But hey anything is possible. It’s a cheap Chinese rep after all.

First of all Secondly, I appreciate your response on behalf/in support of @p0pperini, it’s a clear manifestation of the age group. However, if I were to take your response, which has a striking resemblance to something a bot might say, more seriously, I must say that the tone and manner in which @p0pperini’s comment was presented could have been more welcoming and constructive, especially considering that I am new to this community (a complete grown-up “noob” if you will)
another thing is interpreting someone's concerns or emotions in a text-based forum is a bit challenging, ain’t it? Suggesting that you can determine the root cause of my concern comes across as a joke, unless you possess mind-reading abilities, in which case, I might have another assignment that could pique your interest!
FYI as a newcomer to the forum, my priority is to learn and engage with the community, not to create discord.
I ask that we put this misunderstanding behind us and focus on the subject matter. If you or @p0pperini have any helpful advice or insights regarding my original question, I would genuinely appreciate your input. Thank you.

Got a 2019 genuine sub and have never owned a rep hence the unfamiliarity to rep watches but certainly I’m starting to consider spending/investing my money elsewhere when VSF can come this close to Gen. which is why I am trying to “learn” more about it, not regret my decision or be worried about losing 500 bucks

I believe the best first glance way to determine if your dealer has sent you the correct watch is to first determine if your dealer would send you the correct watch.
For what it’s worth I too felt p0pperoni’s response was valid and far more respectful than yours. If someone tells you they like peanut butter, but wants to know how to make sure they like peanut butter, I bet you’d have some questions.
Maybe if you mention the TD we can tell you if they have a history of sending incorrect movements or prone to making these kinds of mistakes

I'm all in for putting "this" behind us despite the patronising and self-entitled attitude.

@p0pperini 3, the question is not if “my dealer has sent me the correct watch” as I don’t give a rat’s ass about it, please read the thread again

Had to like it though do not agree with the “patronizing and self-entitled attitude” part, a bit unfair imo, anyways cheers

Apologies @Teamjlf, I thought it was someone else who said it, I am a newcomer hence the honest misrake, the comment was not directed at you sir

By trusting your dealer otherwise the first response you got is about the only way to know for sure… and that was about 10 posts before your 3 posts in a row…
Respectfully, help is a privilege not a right. All love
