If the RF3235 is like the VR3235 (likely as I suspect there are not two new next gen rep "3235s"), it will take a 3235 datewheel. The 3235 datewheel teeth have a different shape, and are in a different position relative to their adjacent numerals.

That's what I was paying attention to. 3235 DWs have a little pointed teeth. 3135s have more rounded teeth. The rf3235 dw looks like it has teeth that are more rounded. But I'm looking at poor resolution pictures so if you have done it personally then that's more accurate finding. None the less, though it's not a 98% clone like vs3235, it is still the best option in the current environment.

It would be nice if these "RFs" actually have the nice SEL recess advertised in the pics. The recent VSF models, at least the LNs are leaving a little to be desired in that category.

The new RF3235 looks like it will take 3135 DW but 3235 style dial. The hands are interchangeable between gen 3235 and gen 3135 so either way gen hands will fit. I personally do not like the mismatch movement and love the crisp and instant date flip of the 3235 over the 3135. Whether or not gen balance wheel and bridge are going to fit, is still yet to be seen.

Could you please elaborate the difference of the date flip between the two movements? Are you saying 3235 flips the date instantly and 3135 does not?
Appreciate your asnwer in advance!

No no they are both instant esp when they flip at midnight. But one thing I have noticed when you try to flip the date on 3135 it feels very flimsy, and this is with gen 3135s. 3235s, on the other hand, have a very solid manual date flip.

If this is the same factory that released that Pepsi then my expectations dropped immensely

I had a long talk with the op about it yesterday and basically vmf, mi they also have sticker with a chinese character, are the same factory. They started as a bootleg vs factory. Not many fsctories ordered the vr3235, some of the factories that ordered it were gmf, arf, vrf and vmf. Most of these factories have halted their productions due to the raids. currently the only factory that has used it is the vmf factory which most likely is this rf factory but rebranded for the western market. We also came to the conclusion that the providing of their inserts is the same Japanese provider noob was using im their noob v12 116xxxx subs.

​​​​​​Very interesting times are coming.

If you are right, it will be disappointing release like always.

Was excited but now… sad because it will be trash.

I also purchased a vsf and when my modder opened the case up he told me about the hybrid movement he never saw before. My watch serial # is 665S8281. It is a 41mm blue bezel with black dial

I Think you have a VF Watch and not a VSF. Who really knows! There is a comparison in the forum. Let me see if I can post it.

I’m liking the sharp defined mid end link. This was the main flaw of vsf126610. The rest of the watch looks good even if the CG’s are a fraction oversize. I’ll be having it for the bracelet even if the rest of the watch disappoints.

Uuuugh….. PT just pinged me regarding my VSF 126610 LV and said they are taking a break due to the raids so no watch… now I have to hope this is truly a rebranding and it’s only a couple weeks before they ramp up again. This ALSO means that my other VSF I ordered from Li won’t come and he just hasn’t told me yet…. I’m out of pocket over a G with no watchies…. =(
