Move the regulator arm (on the left) closer to the beat corrector arm for less s/d. Move it further away to increase s/d.

Puretime still can't get anything from VSF, so my order is still on hold. Those that are getting VSF pieces from dealers are getting stock they had before the raid.
Should I get a refund and look for something else, or do you think I have a really good chance of getting the same quality as before the raid, if I just wait?

Really hard to know but if you think about a factory having to rise from the ashes, it's likely they will need some time to get back on their feet again. I've seen some quality degradation after raids on other factories, or delays before they are producing like they were. If it was my money I would want to spend it elsewhere instead of it sitting in a TDs hands.

Mine became unstable as well and I don't know why. But misiekped had commented that the Chinese balance could de-regulate. My instantaneous cure was to install a gen balance and bridge which made it quite stable with perfect rate and beat error, but that alone cost more than the watch.

I have been looking into this issue too.
i found the gen balance wheel and bridge have to be bought separately. My question is does the bridge come with the screw (located at the head of the shock absorber)for locking the hairspring onto it? I don't seem seeing it in those pics of the wheel listings.

Mine did, yes. And it’s a very delicate operation to attach the hairspring. I lightly tightened mine and once the bridge was installed in the movement I tightened it fully. You’ll also have to time it by adjusting the microstella nuts inside the balance wheel.

I wouldn't recommend taking on the task of assembling a gen balance together bro. Just regulating a free sprung balance is enough of a challenge. If you haven't purchased anything yet, I tecommend contacting our own superlative master watchmaker misiekped (Mike) watchservicesny and see if he can help you get a whole one or put yours together and regulate it.

Yeah, I know fiddling around with the balance wheel and the bridge is a brain surgery task, lol. Thanks for your advice of getting into touch with Mike which I surely will in case I decided to go for the mod.

I noticed people said they don’t see the 41mm gen all that often. Got mine last month at retail. Don’t know how to share it without showing my serial.

The alignment of the rehaut looks good, the crystal is also good, but perhaps VSF is better in this respect. SEL is fine, hands are quite thin. The bezel seems to be brighter on VSF.
Ahahahaha... Bro obviously I'm kidding, enjoy in good health your beautiful watch, it's gorgeous!!!!

Last weekend I went watch hunting.
Had a 10k budget and obviously went to some rolex stores (3, to be exact).
Same BS on every store - "we don't have any professional models, we don't know when we will get them".

I'm tired of rolex AD's.
If they dont want my money, fine, I'll spend it somewhere else.

Ended up buying a beautiful Zenith Defy Classic.

Cheers

I can’t wait to get the VSF 41mm. I will definitely post some side comparison as I am super curious myself. One thing for certain is the LEC on the gen is really hard to spot and only at certain angle. Also they are much smaller compare to LEC on the rep.

why the card is old?? the 126610 have new card 2020.

Guys, sorry if I ask but I’m quite confused After the last considerations regarding the date wheel.

Does a gen 3235 dw (the one intended for 126x subs, not DJ 41mm) fit in our VSF 3235?

Anyone tried? From the early messages i remember that only 3135 gen could fit.

My VSF 126610 3235 (not first batch) does not have a 3135 date seating plate or 3135 datewheel.
