I agree. Great watch. Waiting for mine. But last factory batch was not so good.

Yes. He ordered next one from factory to check timegrapher results on it.

Now I know it, so I decided to get the first example. It's on the way. I hope if my watchmaker will set proper lift angle amplitude will be correct.

I am in love with this watch...
Might be my new favourite.

It feels great, it looks great.
I love the bezel, the dial, the hands and date wheel. Love the crystal - amazing black hole effect, for a replica.

The pros:

- excellent build and finishing (really solid watch)
- super clean dial and hands
- good inserts on the dial
- amazing clasp on the bracelet (looks and feels gen, for what I've tried)
- rubber oysterflex is really nice and comfy (I had to put an extra link because it was a bit tight for my wrist, but that's not a defect)
- It has an excellent weight and gives it the impression of being a "premium product" (But it has not the correct gen weight - gen is white gold and this one SS)
- no ticking sounds and normal rotor sound
- The movement works really well and it does always +5s/day no matter the position (very well regulated and adjusted)

The cons:

- The polishing is not at Rolex levels (hard to achieve), and the lugs feel more round than the gen.
- Some days sit lower, on the date wheel, but nothing shocking (the picture below shows a day that sits a little lower - most of the days are well centered)
- There's a lume mismatch between the indexes and hands - hands lume is whiter, and I notice that under some lights. Most of the time the lume appears to be the same color tho...

I don't know if this movement will be durable and precise, but so far so good!
Have a 2 year VSF Omega Planet Ocean that runs like the day I received it. Let's hope this 3235 behaves the same.

Overall, I am amazed with this watch.
I have a gen AirKing and this one is not that bad when compared to it.

I'm not here to fool anyone, but I'm sure I will never be called upon for this watch being a replica.
It's "perfect". A joy to wear and a good looking watch!
And that's what's important.

Really love the watch and I give it a 9 out of 10.
It's NWBIG for me!
Good job VSF.

Can you show a picture of the extra link? I also ordered this and it is on its way. Worried it might not fit my wrist (7,25 inch)

Don’t worry about it if your wrist is 7.25 inches. Mine is slightly below 7 inches (17cm) and it still wears slightly loose at the shortest glidelock setting. The factory seems to have underestimated the length of the strap when they said it will would 16-18cm wrists.

In that case I am screwed. I have a 6.5 inch wrist. Li told me it should fit but now I'm worried. May have to buy a shorter strap.

Attention you have to set 59° lifting angle for the 3235 movement to get the right result on the timegrapher

55° or 59° who knows the right lifting angle for the VR3235?
For the RLX 3235 the lifting angle is 55° what I have found out but imagine that someone posted that the angle is 59° for the VR3135.

For 3135 is 52 degrees, for vs3235 is 59

Long story short: love the watch.

Gorgeous piece, VSF did a wonderful job. I have a small wrist (6.25”) and the watch fits me fine on the shortest length. So the 6.5” guy should be good to go. Here are a few pics.

1.)“ROLEX” logo printing is thicker than the gen
2.)Seconds hand has some marks/dirty
3.)Hour and minute hands yellowish than compared to hour markers?(not sure)
But still, the best version atm

What kind of straps did you received? E-D and E-F? How long it was in transit and what shipping company?

I have no clue lol... I think the watch only comes with 1 default set, you do not have options.

4PX was the shipper... took 10 days to reach me in CONUS from China.
