For a new Sub project I need a 3135 movement.

In my last projects I used the VR3135 which was the best available movement in this time.

Now the VS3135 movement is also available and I would like to know is it "better" as the VR?

What is your meaning or experience?
Which one should I prefer?

Many Thanks for you feedbacks! :)

I'd like to know this too. I've been out of the rep game for a VERY long time and I'm looking at a new 114060 or 116610 and both of these 3135 clones LOOK amazing (for a clone), but I'm curious about performance, wind feel, rotor noise, ect.

I am not a watchmaker, but VS3135 winding is so much smoother than VR3135.

VS3135:
-Better materials
-Better finish
-Better performance
-Cleaner from the factory (what i heard from watchmakers)
-More gen parts that will fit straight away (even gen balance iirc)

Thats not good news as i have a VS3135 on the way which im going to swap with my VR3135. Have a 16613LN superfranken with gen dial, hands, dwo.

Use VR Date Indicator Seating or upgrade to gen part number 3135-600 easy swap.

It's similar problem as the SH had

Yeah just a pity my current VR Date indicator makes the dw sit slightly to the left

On that picture i posted i accidentally used wrong dw. But still just try your vsf first before ordering any gen parts. Most of them works perfectly with gen dw i only had issue with 3 of them

So you mean if the gen. dw doesn't work, it is needed to swap in a gen. date indicator seating part #3135-600?
