Hi All,

I have a new VSF 122610 sub with a VS3235. QC timegrapher numbers looked pretty good but in real life, not so much.
Here is the QC https://mega.nz/folder/mEZDmRyY#80eGkDj6l8Kj9khBs993mA/file/eBYChJzK

And here is the watch on my own timegrapher, running at -29s/d amp 160.
I also included a video of the balance wheel in motion if anyone finds that helpful.


I adjusted the timing down to about +4s/d but the amplitude is still low.
What's interesting is that in the past few days, sometimes it miraculously recovered and had a healthy 260ish degrees and the timing was closer to -15s/d.
I also made sure it's fully wound (about 40 turns) but it doesn't make any difference.

Do I have a lemon, is it worth servicing or just swap a new movement in and hope for the best?

Thank you!!!
