The gen is automatic. This rep seems to be as well. Rotor is pretty loud and it will start ticking after a few minutes of wear. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-13-08 |
The autowinding doesnt work because the rotor is gummed up. You just need to get it cleaned and lubed a tiny bit. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-14-08 |
Hey gang! Purchase Rolex DD 40mm from referral here. Pass all QC with GL. 4 days in transit, arrived still ticking away. I probably wound 5-9 times. Yesterday I noticed it didn't go to next day or date after midnight. I was told I didn't round it enough ( like 30). It moves to next days if I manually move the time so I... | r/reptimeservices | post | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-10-08 |
It likely wasn't wound enough. In transit they will wind a little, but not enough to fully charge the power reserve, and 9-10 isn't enough either. I would wind it 30-40 times and see how long it lasts. Know that even while wearing, depending on your activity, it's likely enough to keep it wound but it may not increase ... | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-11-08 |
The DD changed date and day this am so it was not rounded enough before. Thanks for input | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-11-08 |
Any thoughts on buying gen and or
Rep parts and building a REF. 376.0822 Omega? The dials, hands, bezels are available on second hand market. | r/reptimeservices | post | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-11-08 |
Finding a movement would probably be the hardest part. At least that’s the issue with standard speedies. Not really any movements that perfectly match the dial. And with these watches subdial alignment is super obvious. Speedmaster is the only watch I care to buy in gen because I can’t build it myself | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-11-08 |
But the dials at 6/9/12 should work with an a7750 right? Not sure about the day and date though | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-11-08 |
That looks like it might work with knlu difference being 12 subdial is 30 minute counter rather than the 24 hour time on the Omega. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-11-08 |
The gen movement is based on the lemania 5100, omega cal. 1045, a genuine 5100 can be picked up for around ~800€, that would be a good start for your build, but you’d need to be willing to spend the money | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-11-08 |
Thanks for the info! Any suggestions on a case to start out with or a builder? | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-11-08 |
I’d suggest a speedy case, not necessarily gen, iirc the lemania should fit in one of those, it has a height of 8.2mm and a 31mm diameter with a mounting diameter of 31.0mm, so best search for a speedy lookalike case that fits the dimensions, or if you wanna go nuts, machine one / let be machined | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-11-08 |
Getting complicated quickly 😂 I need to find some watch building forums and start reading up. I appreciate the spec info! | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-11-08 |

I've looked at a few youtube videos and from what i gathered i need a few tools that are easily found. But i'm wondering if the gen dial would be as simple as a dial swap or does it require additional work that i've not considered. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks | r/reptimeservices | post | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-11-08 |
Simple dial swap. Gen dial fits onto the vs3235 perfectly. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-11-08 |
How do I find out if I have a VS3235? Opening up the case back? | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-11-08 |
Vsf dj 36 always comes with vs3235 | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-11-08 |
Yes. Open the caseback and then use the guide I wrote on RWI to identify the movement:

I don’t know much about raffles dials. But the one you linked doesn’t have the press for lip, nor does it have dial feet. You’ll be securing it with double sided tape. I’m also not sure if it’s the right size. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-12-08 |
Yikes okay let me pump my brakes on this until I can find the right one. Thanks for saving me from a mistake. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-12-08 |
did vsf just start making dj36s? i would think their older models would have used the 3135 until the 3235 came around. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-12-08 |
Yes, they came out with the 3235 about 1,5 years ago. Before that they never did 36, only 41. I remember only EWF, GMF, BPF and ARF (older model) made Datejust 36mm. Also I recommend CF over VSF for 36mm DJ. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-12-08 |
thats awesome information. i never knew vsf was relatively new to the game.
btw, for my builds (both 41 and 36), i buy clean cases and if i can find them, put DD movements in them. i used to be one that didnt really notice the lug differences. when i read on here the difference and saw it in person when my friend... | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-12-08 |
Great, thats the way to go! I might upgrade to a VS3235 too on my CF soon. But the updated VR feels great too. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-12-08 |
yeah. i really dont mind putting the vrs in my builds if i cant find a vs, even the older vrs. they are built on the 3135 platform, which i have always loved. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-12-08 |

Do you think a 126231 dial would fit? i'm not sure if 126200 differs greatly from a 126231 dial. I did find one post of a guy putting a gen 126200 dial in the vsf dj36. Do you know anything about using 1262XX dials? thanks | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-14-08 |
Can I take a rep to just any generic watch servicer and they will service it without judgment?

PM u/flan_dad SoCal based but will work by mail | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-11-08 |
I don't want to mail the watch anywhere. I just want to take it into a local store. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-11-08 |
do a search on this forum | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-11-08 |
Why wouldn’t you consider mailing it? | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-12-08 |
TBH, beggars shouldn't be choosers. Is hard enough to find watchsmith in general as the trade was semi dying, let along finding one that will accept reps. I personally mail mine out, not just within the same country but overseas. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-12-08 |

I want to do a bezel insert swap on my 9401 and tried to remove the bezel with a case knife with no success.
Which took/technique would you recommend for the job?
Thanks!! | r/reptimeservices | post | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-11-08 |
You may want to remove the bezel insert first. Some of these lower end cases use a bezel retaining ring that can make it impossible to remove like a modern bezel. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-12-08 |
Thanks! Any tips on how to remove the insert without removing the bezel? 😏 | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-12-08 |

Movement is Asian 7750 chronograph automatic movement | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-12-08 |
Sounds like your auto gear has wear and or reverser is knackered. Rotor could also be jammed or worn bearing. All things a watchmaker can easily fix 👍 | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-12-08 |
But the watch is brand new; I’ve had it for barely a few days. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-12-08 |
I recently bought one used and it also has an auto wind problem.
In my case it looks to be the rotor click spring - the rotor can spin backwards when wound. So auto winding is not functioning.
If you haven't taken the back off yet, remove it and the wind the rotor manually and see if it spins back when some tension ... | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-12-08 |
Welcome to Chinese movements. Problems with them abound on this sub. I ‘wait’ until they die and replace them with a Japanese movement. Can’t afford the Swiss ones, lol. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-12-08 |
Oh, I didn’t know there could be such an issue with a new watch. These are basically my first reps. How much does a Swiss movement cost? Just curious. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-12-08 |
When they’re ‘out of power’ you can hear the rotor spinning quite loudly when moving or rotating the watch. Once I wind them, the noise is completely gone. In any case, I don’t have the patience for such small components, so I’ll find a watchmaker to fix it for me. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-12-08 |
Somal Watches in Canada has Swiss ETA 2824’s for $280 cdn and Sellita SW200’s for $235 cdn.

Hi.
Is it possible to fit a VS3130 into a CF 114060 case (comes with VR3130 original)?
I have both the VSF 114060 and the CF 114060 and was thinking to use the best of both into one watch.
Use CF case, dial and bracelet, VSF crystal and VS3130 movement.
Kind Regards | r/reptimeservices | post | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-12-08 |
I believe the VR is the better movement if im not mistaken | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-12-08 |
You are mistaken, the VS3130 is known to be the better movement. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-12-08 |
Are you sure about that? | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-12-08 |
Yes. VS movements are known to be better than VR movements. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-12-08 |
The VR3130 is great movement, I don't see any reason to change it, as long as it working good, what you will achieve? | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-13-08 |
I think you replied to the wrong person.
Thisguyiscool_ said the VR is the better movement. I just corrected him as the VS is known to be the better movement. I said nothing about changing the movement. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-13-08 |
As I have two identical watches and both movements present I don’t see why I should not swap it to build the best of both worlds! My question is still unanswered tho, Im wondering if the VS movement fit in a CF case 😄 | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-13-08 |
Yes, I'm sorry, wrong person🙏 | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-13-08 |
It should be swappable as they’re both based on the 3130 but keep in mind the mounting or casing screws they use for each case. I’d imagine it’s like swapping a VR3135 for the VS | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-13-08 |
Yes, it will fit. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-13-08 |
Has anyone ever seen this before? Detent ball / spring is stuck in the case and I can’t get it out… VSF 114060… any help would be appreciated. | r/reptimeservices | post | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-13-08 |
I have seen that a few times. Some I have gotten with a very fine pick, others I have had to drill out.
Try a drop of penetrating oil overnight and then kind of gently tap on it the next day and it might pop up. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-13-08 |
Like others said. Add some oil, and later try with some rodico.
If that doesn’t work, add tiny bit of super glue to a fine point, let it stick to the ball, and when fully dry, pull | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-13-08 |
Try using a syringe needle to pry that off. Happened to me numerous times while working on submariners. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-13-08 |

Or try NASA's best innovative DW40 | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-13-08 |
So far I’ve tried oil, tweezers, needles, picks, etc with no luck. It’s like the ball and spring are wedged against each other in the hole… thinking I’m going to need to drill it out? But that sounds pretty intimidating lol | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-13-08 |
Wanna sell it ? | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-14-08 |
Appreciate the offer but I got it out! Drill press made easy work of it. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-14-08 |
It happened to me but it was due to rust, the watchmaker machined it with a milling cutter and put a new one | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-18-08 |
I ended up getting out using a drill press, worked really well. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-18-08 |
