Can the movement in the VSF 114060 Submariner No date be repl;aced? If so, would the Swiss 2824 be the best option to get better accuracy or is there another option? Thank you in advance.,

Nope , the vsf no date case will not fit a 2824 also stem height is different .

If you really want to use Swiss ETA 2824 then you will need to start with a base with 2824 , i.e the RXF , convert it to a no date

A question out of curiosity: after how many full revolutions of the crown on your watch, the second hand begins to move? (vs3235)
There is no official number of turns to do this - or rep or on gen. It's between 0 and 40.

Why are you so obsessed with the irrelevant?

Not possible. And most VS3235 movements are well inside the timekeeping window of a top grade ETA 2824 for accuracy anyway.

I was curious to find out because: at first I had to make 2-4 turns of the crown and the second hand started moving. Sometimes the second hand would start moving right after I pulled out the crown. Now I need ~18-20 revolutions of the crown so that the second hand starts moving.
It seemed strange to me and I thought, could I have already broken something?))

I received my first Rep, a VSF Hulk today and am really very impressed with the quality! The only thing that bothers me is the processing of the bracelet; it has very sharp edges and I can as described by Streetfighter scratch my fingernail with it. The code is 7GJ. In addition, the SEL fitment is unfortunately not good.

I would therefore like to buy a new bracelet. Does anyone know if TDs also offer bracelets individually and can anyone recommend me a bracelet that I can use to fix these little problems?

You will almost certainly break something if you keep fiddling around with it. Even on a gen. The crown stem the weakest link between the owner and movement - the more you use it, the more likely it is to break. It is not something that you are supposed to - or need to - use on a daily basis.

yes, I wonder why there was such a difference when starting the second hand))
P.S. I have to always use the crown, even if I set the second hand in motion by shaking the watch normally. With my little activity, they always stop and I always have to set the time before walking)

I must be confused. Are you talking about pulling the crown out all the way to SET the watch or pulling it out to the first position to WIND the watch?

naturally, in the first position in order to wind up the clock) I write through google translator, it doesn't work very well))
Hm... And unless if you pull the crown to the last position and adjust the time - the second hand will start?) After all, wind will not happen

Would you trust that the 116610 VSF is waterproof? In the sense of swimming in the pool with it.

Definetly not, most of mine the caseback was only finger tight. You need to check the caseback is screwed down tight beofre getting it wet.
