Patiently waiting for my 114060VSF post raid, actually I cannot help myself thinking daily when it will arrive :p
But in the meantime I enjoy reading the forum & watching the photos.

Hey guys, my first rep :)

Apparently I posted on the semi-active thread.

Got this QC pictures today: https://imgur.com/a/c8Iy3zc

Seems like a VSF for me (serial numbers etc) and not a JVS fake. But, as you can see from the picture of the movement, there is no serial number stamped on the movement. Is that a QC mistake or a fake VS3235?


Thanks all.

That dial looks stunning, I've been more of a ZZF fan...but still :)

Thanks mate but unfortunately it’s up for sale as it’s the 6th I’ve had just can’t gel with the green even though it’s a stunning piece

I just GL another VSF 116610LN.
Only real issue I have is that the amplitude is pretty high at 355.
I’ll see what it is in other positions when it arrives.

Also, I saw on Reddit that there are S93 serials now.

It could be knocking the pallet fork. If so, it makes a special "galloping" sound instead of regular tick tock. Also, it's easy to spot on the timegrapher.

but if not, if there is proof that knocking doesn't happen, I wouldn't worry at all.

Amplitude is the result of spring strength (constant), good lubrication and near perfect, frictionless assembly. So the higher, the better.

Is the TC sub not based on a 5 digit sub?

If you can get your hands on that one would be nice right ?
