No need to ask in multiple threads. Your question has been answered in the other one

It also does not matter as it's been confirmed by the ZZF guys that it's impossible to tell the difference.
This... x2000. My buddy's grandma called me out just the other day to take off "that 316L shit" (literally). Cried myself to sleep that night.

You’re talking about the finish, not the steel
Over winding makes it feel coarse. If it stopped, give it a whack with your hand in the palm of your other hand. Then try shaking it to see if the balance starts again.
Mine hasn’t stopped but when you pull the crown out to the time setting position it feels and sounds very rough.
The other day when I was setting the time the date wheel started rotating backwards even though the hands were nowhere near 12.
I’m no expert but my guess is the pubic hairs are interfering with some of the mechanisms.
It does still wind very smooth and is going to one day become a very good looking paperweight.

There was a thread on VS3135 winding issues here where folks do a good job of explaining what the problem is. Seems like an issue a few people are having

I had the same issue with the winding arm. I looked it over for an hour, trying different solutions. Definitely don’t want a thick grease under the smaller gear. But...a drop of moebius between then little gear and press bushing solved the problem 100%. Use a red tip oiler and wick it in. She’s working flawlessly now.
Wow you are very lucky. Most of the VSF LV’s seem to have correct rehauts, but this is the first LN from them with the “R” and “O” correctly aligned.
I just ordered an LN, and although everything else looks really good, I can’t seem to stop looking at the rehaut’s misaligned “R” and “O” now.
