So does the JVS actually have a 3235 movement or is it just decorated to look like one. The gear wheel post seems to be the tell on a proper vsf.

It's likely a hybrid movement rather than a true clone or a decorated eta. Someone else can chime in on the specifics

To my knowledge there was only one true 3235 clone and that was the VS3235. The others are 3135 hybrids and probably ok movements, but the VS3235 had the extra jewels and took all gen parts. It also wasn’t perfect and had its problems. Not sure when or if we’ll see an equivalent before expiration of Rolex patents.

That factory wasnt raided - its still operating. New CEO which wont make any superclones as I heared, because better to be in safety.

Just what i heared.

I appreciate that it will depend on the model you buy, but broadly speaking, which factories that are still operating would you say are most efficient at producing gen like pieces? Clean / Noob / BPF and GMF….?

I bought a Clean 114060 (formerly known as ZZF) and it looks really nice, apart from a small defect on the crownguard shape, that I don't really notice...
It's not VSF, but it's pretty decent.

Does it mean they are making other watches also? I wouldn't be surprised if watches like San Martin are coming from replica factories

Of course, its the Liaoning Peacock watch factory, they produce great watches, just google it...

This.

They make watch movements, and made watch movent clones which where lubed and finished very high standard!
VS movements - we miss you!
