Thank you !! | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-24-07 |
Recente bought a vr3235, without asking the seller warned be to take out the stem in date setting modus.
If iam not mistaken you take the stem out in timesetting correct?
Also, do you need to press the release when reinserting the stem?
Thanks in advance guys | r/reptimeservices | post | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-24-07 |
you should be able to take it out in either position. however, some 3135s, which the VR3235 is based on, have had issues with a weak yoke. So, out of an abundance of caution, you should remove in the time setting position. when reinserting, push it gently in until you get a little bit of resistance, push the stem re... | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-24-07 |
Got it man! Thanks for confirming.
Timesetting it is and gently putting it back with the release button once i feel resistance.
Appreciate it. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-24-07 |
VR is always Time setting position (fully out).
VS doesn’t matter | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-25-07 |
Hello everyone,
I saw this 2834 daydate movement on Aliexpress.
The day and date wheel have the rolex font or atleast they looks very similar. Do you think a rafflesdials daydate dial will fit this movement?
Also do you think the day and date window of the daydate dial will align with the day and date
wheel of this... | r/reptimeservices | post | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-24-07 |
Alignment can be an issue but it will fit with the dial. Mostly it’s the cyplop on the crystal that needs to be well aligned. Is it a full gold DD you are building? | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-24-07 |
I plan to build a 36mm vintage whitegold DD. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-24-07 |
Nice, I have some parts for that build if you are interested. Lmk. I can send you some pictures. Even have a brand new selitta sw240-1 movement which is much more reliable than the asian clone for that build. Read here
https://calibercorner.com/sellita-caliber-sw240-1/ | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-25-07 |
Date and Day will not fit the dial windows!!! You need the overlays from raffles | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-25-07 |
Did you try it out? | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-25-07 |
yes and thats common on these builds. I think its even mentioned in the dials description | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-25-07 |
Gotta NTTD v4 vsf. Really love it, admist everyones usual criticism. Only thing is that i think the 6 oclock marker was supposed to be the left hand marker for the 12 oclock. The two markers at the top have different border thicknesses.
Difficult for a watchsmith to flip them? | r/reptimeservices | post | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-24-07 |
Can you even see it on your wrist? Not sure if it’s worth the money tbh. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-24-07 |
Difficult? Not really. Time consuming? very!
it just won't be worth paying the labor required by a watchmaker to fix this. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-24-07 |
Looks like the color is a bit different too. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-24-07 |
Weird. Mine are all the same width. I wouldn't dink around with trying to move them around. That dial is so easy to mess up. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-24-07 |
I see what you're talking about, but that's also probably the best aligned 12 o'clock marker I've ever seen on a Seamaster rep. I wouldn't touch it | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-25-07 |
i'd leave it as that, unless you're going skiing with it..... | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-25-07 |
There’s a v4 on this now? Is the bracelet as good as V+ factory? | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-25-07 |
Im looking to get this soon. Honestly the markers look fine, but is that pip white?!?! | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-25-07 |
not worth it as you can’t see it on your wrist, and you really need to look very close to see it
anyway if it bothers you too much, better sell it and get another | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-25-07 |
It looks white. I don’t think a VSF would have a flaw like that. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-25-07 |
Dang, I see it now. I think you’re right, but not sure I’d mess with it. Beautiful watch! I’m a huge Bond fan and would like to get one for the collection. Now I’m going to stare at all of them looking for that flaw. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-25-07 |
That lume pip is a dead give away | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-25-07 |
Yeah, often when scrolling I have to double check if it's the rep time subreddit or the Gen one. This was one of those times I did not have to double check. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-25-07 |
It took me some time to notice. Bro all good. As a omega rep this is good only major flaw imo is the pip.
I dont think it is harder to replicate omegas than Rolexes but it is just not worth it money wise. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-25-07 |
Thinking about selling my new one | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-25-07 |
Mines from vs with a vs+ bracelet.. looks gen but the omega logo on bracelet isn’t right on either | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-25-07 |
Hi, no its not white. Idk why its looking like that in photo. Its normal irl | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-25-07 |
Hi, its not white irl. Idk why the photo is doing this. Looks normal as im staring at it now. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-25-07 |
Probably just the lighting from the window next to me | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-25-07 |
Be careful with the crown. Just an fyi. I messed mine up within 2 weeks | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-25-07 |
If you have to zoom in to see it don’t worry about it | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-25-07 |
Thanks for confirming! | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-25-07 |
If your thinking about getting it, do it! Very pleased with it overall. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-25-07 |
I did this. The only tricky thing is to remove/install hands.
You will need to:
1. Open the caseback
2. Remove steam by pushing button with screwdriver and pulling the steam at the same time. Do not use any needle here as you will break machine. Only screwdriver.
3. Unscrew 3 bolts holding the movement.
4. Gently re... | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-25-07 |
P.s. sorry for my English | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-25-07 |
It was dropped and now it won't wind up. It will however let me set the time. | r/reptimeservices | post | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-25-07 |
Yes, that looks like just the decorative plate. You can open the case back and remove the piece.
But if the watch isn’t working after that, there might be other things wrong which will require a service | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-25-07 |
As the other poster said, you can see the decorative plate has come unglued. That looks like it's jamming up the rotor
You can glue it back down but be ultra careful with glue in the back of your watch. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-25-07 |

Somehow the text disappeared. Got this Bruce Wayne, and it was gaining a lot of time. Trying to regulate it, at best I can get the beat error down to ~1.0ms, but then for the life of me, cannot get the accuracy down to less than 600s/d. I’ve tried demagnetizing. Anything else, or is it time to throw in the towel and ge... | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-25-07 |

u/petehudso, doesn’t this look like one of the new Shanghai 3285? The hairsping is mounted in the opposite direction and the crown wheel screw hole is much smaller, finishing is also sub par and the “chronometer perpetual” engraving on the rotor is not something you’d see on a dd3285, right? | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-26-07 |
Where did you buy it from? | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-26-07 |
You are correct. Good eye. Hairspring mounted counter clockwise. This is an SH3285 v2. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-26-07 |
You’re also correct on all the other observations. But the hairspring orientation is the easiest “tell” between the DD and SH versions of this movement. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-26-07 |
I was waiting for the moment I’d be able to spot one of these disguised as a dandong movement ahahahah, do you think OP got scammed and was given a different watch other than a Clean (maybe an ARF, ARF is top tier for the bruce wayne, the only one good enough to be sold as clean and is one factory we know that has star... | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-26-07 |
Non-TD | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-26-07 |
I suspect that even TDs and dealers are going to be confused for a while. For years it was easy to tell Dandong from Shanghai with a glance at the balance. Fake hairspring stud = Shanghai. Outward facing arms = Dandong. But now it has become much more subtle: clockwise (DD) vs counterclockwise (SH) hairsprings. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-26-07 |
Sheesh. Learning a lot here from the pros!
So fair to say I need a repair from a pro? Or try for refund from dealer? | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-26-07 |
Yes probably. The trick to regulating is first get the beat error down to below 0.3ms (technically under 0.7ms is ok, but you ca. do better). Then use the regulator to adjust the rate. First get it reasonable in the dial down position, then test the other positions: dial up, 9/12/6 down. See if the results stay consist... | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-26-07 |

Why would you attempt to regulate any movement if you don’t know what you’re doing? | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-30-07 |
r/reptimeservices | post | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-25-07 | |
The app is fine for rate but it has some inconsistencies when it comes to beat error in my experience.
To regulate an ETA 2824, the screw is just for fine adjustments so you might not get it down from +45 just using the screw. The rate main adjuster is the stud on the left side in your picture. You might have to remo... | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-25-07 |
Hi all, i recently purchased my first rep the omega aqua terra worldtimer vsf factory. I find the rotor to sound a bit rattly. Does anyone know how these sound and if so do you think my rotor is loose? Any help would be great as am new to this. Could be a stupid question but am really not sure. Thanks everyone.
https:... | r/reptimeservices | post | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-25-07 |
I have the exact same rep and I have the same "issue", so I would guess this is expected. I know then gen also has this "issue" but to a lesser extent.
Personally I wouldn't worry | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-26-07 |

So I have had this a few years now, stopped wearing it around a year into owning it, picked it up one day to wind it, set the time & wear.
The movement felt kind of jammed and the actual dial rotated when I wound it. The dial also seemed to have ‘dropped’ down a mm or 2, does anyone have any idea if this would be a do... | r/reptimeservices | post | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-26-07 |
Everything is a doable job, just depends on how much you want to spend on the watch. Usually the dial is hold in place by two pins, if both broke the friction from the date wheel could be enough to rotate the dial. If thats the case be careful because the pins are loose in the movement and could potentially damage more... | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-26-07 |
I would imagine the dial was being held on by dial dots or tape and they just dried out. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-26-07 |

Just unboxed this yesterday. Clean Factory. Set the time (and the crown was pretty crunchy) and not the Chrono goes too far back. Is this an easy fix? | r/reptimeservices | post | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-26-07 |
Chrono seconds hand has likely slipped on the pinion or on the center post.
Movement needs to come out to re-seat it, it’s an easy fix but not really one to attempt unless you’ve pulled a movement before as the CF 4130 isn’t exactly a cheap one to practice on.
There should be a rep friendly watchmaker near you who ... | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-26-07 |
Good stuff, I really appreciate it! | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-26-07 |
Work-around which is acceptable to me. Just stop the chrono hand at 12. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-26-07 |
That's what I got right now lol
Honestly more concerned with the crunchy time setting (and I'm assuming they're related). I think I found a repairmen near where I live, hopefully he can help out today | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-26-07 |
If you found a guy I would ask him about getting it serviced especially since you mentioned the crunchy time setting. Usually they are not oiled properly and need to be serviced when purchased because they will likely fail. If you have it serviced it should last a lot longer. Enjoy your watch. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-26-07 |
Great point, I'll definitely ask about that. Thanks! | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-26-07 |
Does anybody know what the problem would be? The crown seems to disengage after a few turns
| r/reptimeservices | post | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-26-07 |
looks like the crown may not be secured to the stem with loctite or something. the counterclockwise direction is the unscrewing direction of the stem from the crown. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-26-07 |
Seconding this. As somebody who’s built a few watches, I’ve done this a time or two. The hands stop moving when the crown loses traction. If you keep loosening it you’ll be able to take it right off | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-26-07 |
Would I have to take the back off and get into the movement to tighten it? I’ve never worked on a watch before but I’m willing to try | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-26-07 |
Yes. It’s actually not a super difficult process. Check out a couple videos on how to remove caseback and stem without damaging the keyless. I believe the day-dates use a clone ETA 2836 movement and if that’s the case the keyless are very finneky. You’ll need a 1.2 or a 1.4mm screwdriver to press the button and that in... | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-26-07 |
Crown needs to be pulled out to the time setting position too for removal. Do not forget this step. To re-insert, gently wiggle it back in place while gently pressing towards the movement. You’ll feel it click | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-26-07 |
Daydates have 3255 movement now too | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-26-07 |
Yeah it’s a 2836 movement I’ll watch some videos about it. Thanks | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-26-07 |
Great point. Also OP use a screwdriver to press down the release and not something pointed. If you use something pointed, you can easily push the release under the yoke, and that's bad. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-26-07 |
I am an idiot. I see you said the same thing above. I will be quiet now. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-26-07 |
Hey guys, I was trying to remove the 2836-2 movement from this raffles dial. I took off the stem and removed movement holders, but it looks like this golden ring doesnt let the movement get out. It wobbles, but it clearly shows that the golden ring is blocking the way. Is there any way to remove the movement from the b... | r/reptimeservices | post | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-26-07 |
sometimes those rings get stuck in there pretty well, either from exposed tape on the underside of the dial or just from friction with the case. it should come out. have you tried using a small screwdriver to wiggle it loose? | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-26-07 |
That screw nearest the crown in the 4th picture is the movement holder screw. Have you tried removing this first? | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-26-07 |
Take the (2) movement tabs out, and the crown, then take a small screwdriver and gently wiggle the brass ring out and it should come right out. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-26-07 |
Yes, I have tried to do this. It does wiggle but still doesnt come out | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-26-07 |
