Here in the topic about vs3235 vs vr3235, I also read about the problems and breakdowns of vs and that some people put vr movement in vsf for themselves.
But I understand that, most likely, people just got a factory defect?
I need a reliable mechanism, because in my country I am unlikely to be able to fix it somewhere and order spare parts)
The point isn't the sh*t that's on reddit, the point is that this guy has been reading the forum for a month and has asked a billion questions to figure out who makes the best sub. He should know by himself that now he wrote a ridiculous thing...

I'll explain it for you very simply.
The reason people went with SH (vr) movement instead of DD (vs) movement is because DD movement wasn't readily available to buy separately, plus DD movement is more pricey.
Both SH and DD movements are very good, but DD movement is better.

Damn this looks good. Might have to get this, even though very similar to the Bluesy I just got.
Why do they make DayDates with tungsten and not subs? Wish if I got a gold model it could have some heft and feel different than my steel ones.

It's not as common too. There are far more hulks and starbucks going around than a smurf, both in gen and rep variants, that's for sure.
To this day, I don't understand why R factory chooses to release this in white gold only. More people like blue than green and smurfs in SS would probably sell much more than what the green ones do currently.

Does it matter? They already sell as many as they (want to) make. I agree though. For every person willing to pay $10k for a SS watch, give them 20 color choices, not 2.

I learned some points that may be important to someone, as well as to me)
On the 126610lv bath with the code Q66, however, the color of the bezel was slightly changed and it became a little darker, more like the gen "starbucks". Cyclopean distortions unfortunately remained.

I have one more question and I hope it will be the last one (I understand that you are already tired of me here 
)
my TD sent me a lot of QC photos and I noticed that the date is very much shifted on many of them. Either strongly down or strongly up. Moreover, on the same watch, some of the digits are normal, some like this... Especially on the Q6 batch on all the watches that I have seen, such a problem.
Is this the norm or will it just take a very long time to find an option without this problem?

Finally got to read your post on this and look at the pictures - I see how much better it looks, but I don't have the skills to polish without cutting through the plate. I will mention it to my local watchsmith and see if they can do it, but re-plating may be the only legitimate option - even though it will add a lot to my investment in this particular rep, I really do like the way it looks with the Gold and blue dial and want to wear it but not if it looks like a carrot wrapped around my wrist. So, diminishing returns and all, I'm probably going to re-plate.
Next stops on the bus for me - VSF 116619LB and VSF 126613LB

there are 3 photos from this angle. And some numbers are normally centered, some are shifted up or down like this) In this case, I don't think cyclops is distorting it.
If that bothers you alot consider a gen DW swapI have one more question and I hope it will be the last one (I understand that you are already tired of me here

Can anybody tell differences of subs with the batch numbers S29, S39 and K25?
As far as i know, S29 would be the older batch number, so that watches with the S29 batch number are produced much more earlier?
