VR uses a 3135 stem, try that.

I did try did not work is way to fat, will give it another try, and also where I can get new barrel fully assembled? As one I got from 3135 is to small sadly, so need one that is similar to vr3235, thanks guys for help

Well here some photos of my vsf plate as it’s only thing left on this as my original one is arriving by next month 🫡 I mean just under 3k managed to totally restore my genuine 3235 sub movement, this is great and beautiful just to look at and process of build is even more amazing!

Oh the crown stem is still other thing left over from vsf I got genuine stem need to put in and also crown is genuine worth to mention and on naked eye diference from vsf or clean crown is not noticeable but under microscope the finish and the Rolex crown legs are more define and have slight enlargement and then gets rider at top where both vsf and clean crowns are low quality finish mashing and then crown and details are just less pronounced and legs on crown are straight and thin in comparison to Genuine

Does somebody know if vs 3235 and vr 3235 rotors are interchangable?
Will vr 3235 fit normaly into the vsf 3235 movement?
Thanks a lot in advance

Yes those rotors are interchangeable bro. You will need a special triangle head shaped tool to remove and replace the screw. You can make one easily out of an Allen head wrench by grinding (or even sanding) the head down to 3 sides. It doesn't have to be a perfect fit just snug enough not to bugger up the screw head.
