VS3235 movement teardown

[WatchSmith.US]

Here's what I have, and I believe it should take a gen dial.
Also did a 3 bar waterproof test while I had it apart and it passed with flying colors.

That’s the small version of the date seating plate
I was trying to find out if R makes two versions but it vent to the corner as there is only one part number for the plate

That's bizarre bro, the two date indicator seating parts are definitely different sizes, along with the datewheels.

Triplock can you measure your dial diameter while you have it apart please?

Here you go.

I wonder if the dial’s date window is in a different locations on large and small date wheel versions? Or is the date window in the same location on both versions?

 

[watchservicesny]

I doubt VS made two different versions

Can you measure the vertical edges of the date window from the dial edge at 3 o'clock? I'll ask someone to do the same on a VSF DJ41 dial.

Actually, I worked on VS 126610s who fit a 3235 dw (like datejusts) and 126610 who needed a 3135 datewheel instead. Guess the first batches were different than the latest..

I have a VSF dial here, I’ll take the measurements when I have the chance.

That’s odd. The gen DJ36 & 126610 take the date discs below, note the shape of the teeth and position of the teeth in relation to a 3135 disc. I’ve confirmed these fit a recent vsf 126610 also.

Yes sir, it's 3.6mm.

Yes sir, it's 3.6mm.

Thanks bro. That's the outer dial window edge yes? Can we get the inner edge distance too for a complete picture?

That would make sense assuming the gen DJ36 is a newer one with a 3235. Should be the same for a new DD36 with a 3255.

I don't see any way those discs would work in a 126334 though so there would have to be two different 3235 date indicator seatings.

Correct, there’s 2 different date indicator plates, see my post #38 on page 4

 

[KJ2020]

It's odd that Rolex didn't name the new DJ41 movement a 3236, the way they named the old DJ41 (116334) movement a 3136.

The aperture measures 2.8mm left to right which should put the inside window edge at 6.4mm from outside of the dial.

God knows what the hell they did on the example I worked on. It’s been a single timer, though. Classic 3235 datewheel I normally install couldn’t fit on that one.

Great thanks

So we have for the 126610

Dial - 28.28mm (maybe 28.3mm nominal)
Date window distance from 3 o'clock dial edge -
L to R: 6.4mm to 3.6mm

Correct-a-mundo

I can confirm that, in addition to a gen bezel and insert, a genuine dial does fit.
