VSF 126610 Submariner with VS3235 Latest Movement 72 Hours Power Reserve

[gindiesel]

Mine just arrived in Canada! Wrong side of the country... but... once step closer. I think Canada Post is directing things through BC due to the outbreak in the customs/sorting in Toronto.

Is it worthwhile to have one of these serviced and regulated out of factory or are they good to go brand new. What's your experience guys?

Mine is running beautifully just a few +seconds per day. On a Swiss movement I would say service is not necessary unless something is wrong. On a rep there's a reasonably good chance that it's dirty and inadequately lubricated. The VS movements are noticeably superior to other clone movements, so it's possible that everything is ok inside, but the back on mine was barely tight and the gasket had no lube at all which is not very reassuring.

Thanks, good to know. At least it's easy to relube the gasket and tighten the back case on

I've a VSF 126610LN due in the next day or so, hopefully even today, what should I lube the gasket with when it arrives?

O-ring grease or silicon lube. Although, your piece might not require it, who knows.

I'll open the back up and see. Thanks for the reply

It's finally on my wrist from 14:30.... ( Sorry for the bad pics , no right light..... )
From the pics it can be seen that Iven't even removed a link....
I have a fairly large wrist....
The watch is VSF , and like the others it is very beautiful indeed.

Looks superb Junio! I'm expecting an LN this week. How's its timekeeping?

 

[Mille M]

As for timekeeping on mine.
The last 10 days it gained 44 seconds (4.4 seconds a day). Really good...

Is this movement like ETA when your setting the time (anti clockwise)?

Have you guys noticed that the center of the dial if you reflect the light on it looks like it’s sunken by the markers pressure? Look at it

The dial center is sunken slightly on gen watches too.
