New Member, Hi to all, First Clean 3235 Super Rolex Sub 41mm, Help from Genuine Owners

[tsirik]

Hi to all members
Receive my first rep watch, after a lot of research.(Clean 3235 Super, Submariner 41mm)
I dont have the ability to compare with a genuine, but i have some questions if you can help me.
The Rehaut here is very bad, R and O letters are very close engraved, L and E has a big gap, is this fine for a clean factory watch ?

The crown with zero minute mark is a bit off, but already read about that is also a gen issue.
Another question, The watch is winding about 4-5 turns and then is winding with a lot of scratching, so i stop immediately to wind.
The issue is that the second hand is not moving !
Need to move the watch to start working!
Last the weight of the watch is 152gr and the bracelet feels a bit sharp on the edges.
Have a nice day
Wait your thoughts

there are threads about this model already.
Serial and clasp code please?
rehaut alignement looks like on my gen.
stickers can be copied.

 

[Jossé]

It's a 500-dollar replica, what do you expect? And you never see the rehaut when you have the watch on your wrist, so why bother?

But if you think your watch, or more specifically the movement, isn’t working, it might be a good idea to contact the TD who sold you the watch and see if they can assist.

Just asking if the rehaut from clean factory is that quality, is not align issue, its engraved with different spacing between letters, i will order a VSF to check if it has the same issues , now about the mechanism i will ask my dealer.

Ordering one from VSF just to check the rehaut would be a waste of money. Here’s mine:




I think you’ll have to search long and hard to find a perfect rehaut.

 

[Reaps]

Don't worry OP the first thing I do when I see a Submariner at my watch meet ups is to look at my rehaut and call people out if they're wearing a VSF sub

 

[Geonor]

I keep one of these on me at all times and stop people on the street if I see them wearing a Rolex

 

[Feefo]

Most of my reps take at least 15 to 20 winds of the crown to start the seconds hand ticking. 5 winds is nothing if the mainspring is completely discharged

for sure this rehaut seems better, has only alignment issues that can be solved. I think with a rotation of rehaut ring that issue is solved, my watch has engraved issue and not align issue only.

after 5-6 turns starts to wind with a lot of crackling, iam afraid to wind more

You can't rotate the rehaut but you can adjust the dial very carefully left or right.

Don't be afraid to give it a good 25 - 30 full turns and that should get the second hand moving.

ok i will try after the cracking to wind 5 turns more, hope to not damage the mechhanism

When you wind via the crown 25-30 turns clockwise, it will not damage the movement.

And give it a little shake to jump start the movement.

Have fun!
