I have read on the rolexforum that there has been problems with the genuine rolex 3235 movement.


See link below:

It seems that it is problem with the lubrication on the seconds pivot!?


The movement is very accurate for a year or so and then suddenly starts to go much slower!


Has anyone had the same problem as in the link above with there VS 3235 (or genuine) ?


My VSF 126610 has been running spot on for 30 days now and the movement has not been serviced.


Can it be so that I was lucky with my movement and that it is well lubricated?


I mean IF the movement runns so well as my is it nessesary to service it?

I had my Starbucks since VSF was shutdown, so about a year and half something. Mine has been very solid with no issue so far. It was running too slow when I first got it. One of the forum member regulated and waterproof it for me. Depending on the weather and watch position it runs within +3 ~ +5 a day. Personally I will not get it service. When my movement fail I'll just get a replacement movement. Hope by then VS movement will be available widely :)

I don't have this problem neither with my genuine (Build 2020) nor with my VSF (delivered one year ago).

With my VSF I just had the problem that date was not adjustable anymore after 6 months or so ... had to buy an original piece of the movement on ebay for about 70$ and a watchmaker replaced the broken one in the clone movement, now it's fine again! :)

I have a VSF 126610LN worn every day for a little 2 years now and still super smooth when winding or setting time. Date still flicks +/- 1 min but often flicks at exactly 00:00. SEL fit is still great but the bracelet is a bit worn now.

Can’t say I’m as happy with my new VSF 126610LV though, the date flicks by 1.5 - 2 days when it changes at 00:00 but aesthetically much better build than the old one.


Thanks,
