thank you very much
did you mount it on the 16610?
You haven't had any problems with centering the date right?
I did mount it in the RAF 16610. No problems at all. Date was beautifully centered with it's original VR datewheel, And still perfectly centred with it's new gen datewheel I added.

How to recognize the difference between the two?
They look pretty different to each other. Also SH3135 has a rotten datewheel. And SH3135 gives the user a rotten job of adding a gen datewheel because it doesnt fit, the SH needs mods to fit a gen datewheel etc. The VR3135 is so plug and play. Everything just slips right in. The difference is big to me.

Absolutely. I hope you have a stunning watch soon.
I already have the watch but the decentralized date bothers me.
I mounted vs
for me with the vr system everything.
then I will sell the vs in the flea market

I personally really enjoy the look of crystals with AR behind the cyclops put on a five digit watch. So I would love the look of your watch if it had a VSF crystal inside for sure. Sweet idea!

Can you share more info why so ?

From my experience swapping movements I haven't seen misalignment of the DW on both VR & VS .

Could it be that the datewheels you have is doggy ?

in 3d there are at least 3/4 users including me that we changed movement with vs and we all had problems with the centering of the dw
it can't be a coincidence
As soon as I can, I'll post pictures of myself and another user

another user who participates in this 3d had the dw down instead, but he solved it by changing something about the feet

then there is @Saggiolus with the same problem

so it can't be a coincidence
I will then unmount the vs and install the vr
the user @McDuck888 has mounted the vr without having problems neither with the dw stock nor with the dw gen
