VR3255 is finally out and in distribution, and EWF opens the chapter on a new era of Day-Dates

[Storm.]

Isn’t this one of those crap movements?

Nope, this is the first clone movement of a daydate caliber.

Can’t wait to drop one of these in.

Good lordy Mack, makes me wanna throw on some dean Martin and dance with my wife

Rep factories when cloning Rolex movements

Rep factories when cloning any other movement

All jokes aside, more clone movements are always welcome for frankens. But I'll stick with my A2836.

See the difference

JDF just launched a tungsten gold rolex day date with correct gold weight

https://puretimewatch.io/day-date-40-228238-yg-jdf-1-1-best-edition-green-dial-on-yg-bracelet-a2836.html This would be a game changer for gold/platinum replicas

Excited to see how the day dates look like on these new reps. Excited for the gold ones too!

Looks like it’s based on the Shanghai vr3235 just like the new sh3285 that we’re seeing in many of the new GMTs. Given the teething pains of the sh3285, hopefully we see a Dandong 3255 soon.

The big question in my mind is who will paid Dandong for exclusivity on a dd3255 (VSF got exclusivity for the vs3235 aka the dd3235, Clean got exclusivity for the dd3285, and noob had exclusivity on the dd4130 for years). Place your bets…

Alright, so EWF is going to release gold models too @mmaggi @McDuck888

Below advert is for their 2836 line, but since they've done it for 2836 so why not 3255

Cool to see the industry progress, but the reliable, easy-to-service, and easy-to-fix-or-replace 2836 movement is a major part of the reason why I love the current DayDates. More weight and better fluted bezels are the only real updates I'm interested in.

The only real bonus I see may be the alignment of day/date wheel and ease of "plug and play" gen parts. Otherwise I agree 100%. The GMF tungsten daydates are pretty good.

I don't understand from the ad if this is a weighted watch like the gmf or just a stainless steel with the new movement?

Ss with new movement, ewf hasnt done tungsten

 

[Apniceguy]

So what's the hype?
Still 100 grams less than gen

 

[newest dude on the forum]

Digging this as a franken base

Clone movement hype I guess. Like I said earlier it allows for easier frankens, you can drop gen dials and daywheels/daydates into it hopefully. But if not then I think it's pretty meh.

@jkrw247 - Good question for EWF why their latest ad for a VR3255 doesn't include RG & YG models.

Re VR3255: I'm all for progress and for the franken crowd. But for people like me who don't franken: This doesn't mean much since the current base GMF DD is a fine rep.

 

[raremedium]

Puzzle dial would be cool

 

[RollyAP]

Will this fit into a GMF case?

That’s not a VR. It’s an eta decorated to look like a 3255
