VSF 126610 Submariner with VS3235 Latest Movement 72 Hours Power Reserve

[vodamerc]

Has anyone had an issue with the hour and minute hands intermittently sticking in place on the VS3235? I recently picked up a VSF 126610LN (M2M) and periodically the hour and minute hands stick in place for roughly 3-10 minutes chunks of time over roughly 10 minute segments (eg from 5:50-6:00 or 11:30-11:40, etc.). So, for example, it recently took 30 minutes for the watch hands to proceed only 9 minutes from 5:51 to 6:00. Below is a link to a video showing this (video below is only 15 minutes long due to youtube restrictions...but you will get the idea). After this particular 30 minute "sticky" episode (and others), the watch begins to run properly. The watch is losing around 10-20 minutes during each of these sticky episodes (time loss is not consistent each episode).

Any idea what is going here and how best to fix?

I've read this issue somewhere before. Definitely get it serviced by a professional. You're not likely to be able to fix it yourself without experience.

Finally got a gen crystal in this. The VSF crystal was very good, but the distortion and blue tint (I know that some gens have the blue as well) were bothering me. There is definitely a noticeable difference between the VSF and the gen, more so in lower light or shadows outside rather than direct light.

Hi guys, my local dealer has just received some new stocks from vsf. However, upon inspection it looks like they are all supplied with vr movements now? See attached pic cf and vsf subs with same vr movement. Anyone know anything about this?

The answer is simple - it is not a VSF!

Whatever makes you feel happy man, but serial and clasp code alone cannot rule out a fake VSF and the only way to be sure is to check the movement.

Exactly.
And nikefit afraid that what you have shown inside your "VSF" is not a VS3235

Correct. ALL my pre raid VSF did not have the 4 stickers. But the two I bought post raids, do.
