Can also buy replacement on Ali for about 30$ but will take a while to arrive and you need to know exactly what size to buy | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-10-08 |
I checked Ali but for the size of the vsf i found nothing. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-10-08 |
Keywords used in search are often the key. Try something like, “aftermarket Rolex crown” or datejust crown or etc…. I found about 6 dif sizes in 2 mins. Not sure if it is the size you need but worth a shot. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-10-08 |
I believe it might be due to my location that not all products are being displayed. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-10-08 |

1.3mm but they are harder to find so 1.2mm if you can't. Preferably a "T" or hollow ground tip. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-08-08 |
Thanks man | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-08-08 |

Seems absolutely legit to me. i also have one, but in much used condition. Also I have a knock off one (not fake one, because its not using citizen branding so its not a fake or replica) i can tell you, all the knockoffs and fakes has thicker digits then gen.
So yeah, im 95% sure its gen | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-08-08 |
Good to know. Ya, I've seen some youtube shorts that mention about the thicker digital digits. Thanks for your help bud! | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-09-08 |
Cheers mate ✌🏻
Have you bought it? 😄 | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-09-08 |

Watch is running perfectly and everything is good…except a slight misalignment with the date. It’s like 1mm skewed towards bottom.
I can open it up and fix it, but i don’t want to potentially mess something up while in the process. I tend to have a history of modifying watches to fix a tiny thing and messing up somet... | r/reptimeservices | post | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-08-08 |
Tiny vertical misalignment with the date.
Would you fix it or leave it?
Watch is a BP 16610 with VS3135, aftermarket hands, aftermarket bezel insert | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-08-08 |
Man, I’m just one guy, but it looks fine to me | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-08-08 |
No. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-08-08 |
That looks absolutely fine… you’re fixated on that but how about the bezel insert and rehaut alignments? The point is that even gen isn’t perfect, accept these slight nuances as making your watch unique. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-08-08 |
Vs3135 is known to have this issue even using a genuine datewheel doesn't help , you will need to replace the entire date seating(#600) to fix this , either using a gen or vr3135 | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-08-08 |
Personally I would leave it , I have the same watch but with the black bezel . The top pip was quite far out of being straight so I popped the bezel off and fixed that . Now it doesn’t annoy me . | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-08-08 |
Thanks for the tip. I got a spare VR.
If i decide to fix it, your tip will be a good starting point.
I thought it was weird since i swear, when i first built the watch, the date was perfect. But after a few days i noticed it was off | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-08-08 |
Where did you buy the aftermarket parts - what brand? | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-08-08 |
I've seen a lot of gens that are way worse.... | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-08-08 |
Aliexpress. But i believe they are ARF parts | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-08-08 |
i have the same one that i serviced a while ago, the dial is glued, im positive its a dial misallignment rather than date wheel | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-08-08 |
No this one the dial is not glued on. Standard dial feet.
I could rotate the dial slightly, but that would make the 12’ and rehaut not aligned (currently they are perfectly aligned). | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-08-08 |
No, gens do not have date misalignment from factory. Who are you trying to fool other than yourself with that statement? | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-08-08 |
Were you dropped a couple of times on your head as an infant?
Have a look around your auction platform of choice, look at the 16610ln and 16610lvs and tell me with a straigt face that the dates are all perfect:

Not worth it imo is fine | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-08-08 |
Leave it as is. You just said that you tend to mess up a small repair. Why risk it? Wear it in good health. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-08-08 |
Leave it | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-08-08 |
Gonna respond? Lmao | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-08-08 |
Yes, all gens are perfect from factory. You are talking about a 15-20 year old watch that you dont know the history about | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-08-08 |
You're just gonna ignore all the links the guy responded to you with? | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-08-08 |
Yeah, all used watches? Do you not read? Rolex have a good quality control. If VSF, Clean and others had this as well, we could avoid the typical date wheel misalignment | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-08-08 |
Looks fine to me... | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-08-08 |
Ic... I remember I have a gen with somewhat the same problem.... Not alligned on some number...Try regreasing the date wheel teeths and the jumper. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-08-08 |

Update: i swapped to VR date seeting and slightly tweaked the dial feet. Now the date is aligned and also rehaut alignment is good.
However, during the process, a dial indices fell off and i got some glue reside on the dial face 🤦♂️. Did my best to clean it up and it’s mostly gone except little dirty in certain ligh... | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-09-08 |
Good job bro! Things happen and most importantly you gained some knowledge now 😉
Amplitude can gain or lose at times , wear it a few days and it may come back due to temperature. After all anything above 250 still acceptable for clone movements | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-09-08 |

never seen this dial before and the date font is seriously thicc. also don't think this gold looks right but that could just be lighting, idk. little too yellow and not bright enough. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-08-08 |
Surprisingly that actually does look gen! Wife has a similar old 26mm (iirc) that looks kinda similar (clasp is the hidden clasp though which makes me think it might be 28mm).
Take it to a watchmaker who can open the case back and check it out. Rolex boutiques probably won't authenticate it.
Edit - Found a gen https:... | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-08-08 |

Maybe, maybe not. No one gives you any warranty. It's a Chinese counterfeit product that was manufactured without any professional QA and QC. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-08-08 |
When I tint car windows, I file the top edge so there is ZERO gaps when you roll the windows down.
This also allows you to roll the windows down as soon as you leave the shop. 99% of installers DO NOT do this. However they still have tinted windows. Do you understand the logic?
What I mean is just because the dia... | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-08-08 |
Everyone knows, that there is poor QC in the factories. Gaskets come ungreased, movements have too much or too few oil, casebacks are not tightened, you find hair and dirt in the movements, metal shavings in all drillholes, markers tilted, bezels misaligned, etc.
It is not about part tolerances. It is not about parts... | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-08-08 |
Okay this may be true on some lower level factories, However have you seen the QC data and how people pick them apart and red light? Very few are watches with those flaws nowadays. They just don’t accept it anymore. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-08-08 |
In QC here we only do optical checks. You don't know whether the gaskets are all properly greased until you disassemble the watch. This is why some people say that you should send your new watch to a watchmaker to have it cleaned, oiled, the gaskets greased, and then checked whether it's waterproof.

At least on my BP 16570 the crystal/gasket/bezel, crown tube and crown gasket setup, and caseback gasket setup are identical to gen (I have gen parts on front and crown of watch and gen gasket in back), with this watch I have no worries about WR at all.

Small price to pay for piece of mind | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-08-08 |
No one would know until you test it , I worked on many watches from some big factories , some have missing gasket to start off with | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-08-08 |

Geez that’s a lot of questions but I’ll give it a shot with one answer to answer them all.

As long as you’re reasonably active (over 3000 steps per day, check your phone’s health app), it should wind up and stay running. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-09-08 |

Not everytime, just the first time. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-09-08 |
you have to see if it is self winding = let it run till it stops, then shake it some. if it starts running, shake it for a minute or so, then see how long it stays running. should be hours. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-11-08 |

Thanks. I appreciate the info. Any idea what kind of movement you think this is? It’s a rep of a friends that’s dead and I’m just trying to see if I want to really get into this end of reps.
