VSF Upcoming Datejust 126334 with VS3235 72hrs Power Reserve

[jiro]

For that matter, none of the parts swap is "needed" but we still do it Changing the autowind (and barrel + ratchet wheel) always contributes to power reserve reliability and longevity. Anyways, enjoy in good health!! The blue dial is lovely.

that’s so true lol

Guess you can call me shallow as I only care about how it looks outside

Absolutely not, we are all different with separate priorities, that's what makes this forum useful and learn from each other. I just happen to come from a different "school" (call me wierd), hence my ask. 40-60% of my effort/spend on any project goes towards the movement fortification, like to always start with a solid foundation.

Haha I know, I'm totally messing with you my friend! Lol

But yes, you're right everyone has different priorities when it comes to mod.

I do respect how you start from having solid foundation.

I recall reading somewhere that the manual wind will screw up after a while for the 3235, they need to fix this to make it a more reliable movement.

Yeah, you wrote that 5 posts back, no need to write the exact same thing twice.

How has the VS3235 been holding up?

Anyone had any issues yet? Still a bit concerned because it's a clone movement and even the genuine one needs replacement of parts every few years.

Thats my only concern, since the updated VSF is ootb way better than ARF.
If it is possible to source a VS movement as cheap and easy as VR, I will order one. So there is not much risk if something goes wrong or breaks.

Otherwise for me right now ARF + replacing Crystal and DW is the better option, since the 2824 is more reliable and can easily be swapped for a Gen.

Service the movement, you will get better reliability (and gives the watchmaker to look for any potential issues). Rolex clone movements have been produced for a while. Yes, the VS3235 is newly cloned but its a movement that has been on the market for a while, parts are widely available around. Buy with confidence

VS movement standalone should be available for sale, check with Rubberman (He had sourced a VS3135 for me before)

I'm with Robi01 here. I mean, if it breaks, get it repaired or buy a new movement or sell it. If it happens in 1 month or 15 years, who knows.

There is likely a better DJ version out there before it happens anyway that you want to buy

Ordered a smooth bezel, will do a comparison between the first batch and the latest batch. We will confirm or debunk the theory of the lugs.

Ordered it just after CNY and it arrived a few days ago.
It was shipped just before they announced the smooth bezel. I might have preferred that but I’m happy with this for now.
