Hi guys, I need your opinion,
I've heard about hybrid movement between VSF and Clean on Reddit but never on RWI.
Do you think they are right?
I have a VSF waiting for QC and I don't know what to do with it.

vs is the only real 3235 clone, vr is based on 3135 clone i think; anyway, can t put vs balance + bridge into vr, don t fit

O.k I want to franken mine with a genuine balance and bridge. Can anybody give me a list of parts that are required ?

Complete balance bridge with shock absorber

Do I need fork cannon pinion ?

Regards

Hi there!

I approved this watch, I wanted to RL it but Lana told me that it was the last one and that there was no other stock ...
Can you tell me where I can find a decent DW that fits with the VS3235 movement please?
I think I will change the DW as soon as I receive it.

Or maybe I’m too perfectionist…

Thanks in advance

The lift angle for 3235 is 55 degrees so if the timegrapher is setup for 59 degrees lift angle, the timegrapher will think that the ticks registered are further away than what they are in reality. This will render higher amplitude since. So that is why I am asking, if anybody knows what impact this difference would make in amplitude result.

A dfference in the lift angle on the TG from the proper setting results in incorrect amp readings

Too high lift angle on TG = false high amp reading

So on a 55 lift angle movement like VS3235, if TG lift angle is

52 - amp reads 10 - 15° low
59 - amp reads 10 - 15° high

Readings from TDs are really just to see the watch is working, you don't know how well they are wound up.

Alright, thanks for explaining. I had no idea how much it could differ, or if possible to make any statement out of it. But sure, it does seem like it's running great and if it reads aout 10-15 too high, that's what I was hoping for.:thanks:

What is wrong with the datewheel?

The two is not well printed, there is a hole in the middle and the bottom of the 3 is big
I have the impression that Clean uses a kind of gel unlike VSF. I'll see more closely when I receive it

in my opinion the price is great, vs is not on the market, only few big td s got access to these and this situation will remain, so buy it now when you still have chance, if you don t like the price just buy vr - is the same well done case and pretty good movement

Nope. This TD is cheaper and has stock on hand: 558 USD

The crowns are the same. The stems will not be the same, one is for a 3135 the other is for a 3235. You should be able to unscrew the stem from the crown easy enough if you have tools, it's fiddly but you can do it.
