VSF 126610 Submariner with VS3235 Latest Movement 72 Hours Power Reserve

[WatchSmith.US]

This is what mine just came back with

I noticed a few QCs lately that have higher amplitude. Not sure what to make of it.

Yeah, so many different timegraph QC data of the VS3235 flying around lately, and they can vary by quite some degrees.
I agree with the other members that getting the movement serviced at first hand would be the most wise thing to do to minimize any unnecessary stress and wears on the gears and pinions.

Sorry: correct angle is 55, not 52.

I am wondering about that myself. With lift angle of 52, high amplitude will be even higher at 55, which is where it should be set to be checked as I understand it.

My TG readings were atrocious initially. Even after servicing and regulating, I struggled to get some semblance of a respectable outcome. I think I just got a temperamental one. I found it to be quite touchy, displaying enormous shifts in readings with only very slight adjustments. I am going to try a different balance soon.

I know.
I also know the numbers from "25" to "30" are too wide.
It's not an easy thing to do, the printing of these date wheels.

The "10" will look more to the left side, because the "0" pushes the "1" to the left (optical ilusion).

Is this the VSF 3235 movement, in the picture? Someone said they used the 3135 date wheel... now I'm just confused. Doesn't seem like the 3135 wheel...

Similar thing happened to me. I think perhaps those VS balances are very touchy and sensitive to adjustment. Misiekped has said rep balances can un-regulate on their own.

That's why I mostly prefer the ETA versions for my watches which I can swap with a Swiss movement into them.
The 126610 is the very first rep with a clone movement I ever purchased, hope it can stand the test of time since the rest of the rest is so beautifully made. It really would be a waste if the movement dies leaving the watch as a piece of junk.

Yes, I think this is the 3235 Movement.
But not 100% sure! Please someone confirm...

A clone movement is a first for me as well, and there are advantages to having an ETA version as you said. I was intrigued with this one and its ability to receive gen parts which I wanted to try. And so far so good. Gen winding module and rotor will be the next upgrade.

I have 5 reps with vsf clone movements. I had problems with just one - it worked and keepers good time buy it was unwinding itself when on the wrist. It worked perfect laying flat. I decided to sell it. It was vsf p.9000 clone movement. There is a lever which prevents from unwinding - it ether broke or was out of alignment. Other than that all my vsf clone movements run great.
I’m waiting for qc for vsf126610 LV.

This is what mine just came back with

Do we know if the mic with the watch correspond to that timegrapher?
I handled at least 15 vs movement and non of them shows 290 amplitude
The highest was 280@55

290@52 will correspond to 310@55

I said exactly the same when the first vs3235 with high amplitude started appearing. Vs even said that if a vs3235 had more than 280 at 52 then it was a bootleg vs3235 movement.

Hi Guys,

I need your help. I received QC pics today and need to approve in 24hrs. Beat Rate -1s/d, Amplitude at 307 and Beat Error 0.1ms Ok? Should i approve it? Thanks!

 

[fatarms]

I thought those time grapher lights were supposed to be green?

 

[leo6929]

Well, this was my 126610 and I'm not happy its a bootleg

I wouldn’t assume that’s the case. I think more info is needed. But I understand your concern. If tds are buying from the factory how could it be bootleg?

 

[srhoque]

AFAIK There is only one rep 3235 true clone in the market which is VS? What is the "bootleg"?

 

[leo6929]

I was being sarcastic (I hope) but there is certainly more to this issue... the experts surely will chime in.

 

[IntenseImage]

Maybe this is a good sign and the higher amp samples will be super solid. Hope so considering the rest of what I GLd looked so good

 

[bertieng]

All these super high amplitude QC timegraphs lately are just so fishy. As said, is the mic really correspond to the exact watch being measured?
I guess the TDs have the perception that the higher the amplitude of the watch has the happier their customers will be.
