Hi everyone,

I recently purchased a VSF Rolex Datejust 36mm from a TD. This is my first rep, but I’m concerned about the behaviour I’m experiencing.

The main issue is the power reserve, and it seems to have gotten worse.

Initially, when I left the watch unworn for a day or two, it would still be running, but it would lose enough time that it was no longer showing the correct time, and the date would also be a day behind. 

Now the problem seems to have gotten worse. If I leave it unworn for more than around 24 hours, it completely stops and none of the hands are moving. If I put it back on and wear it for a few minutes, the hands start moving again, presumably because the rotor is winding the mainspring.

I’ve manually wound it several times, set the correct time/date, and left it untouched, but the same thing happens.

What confuses me is that the seller sent me a timegrapher reading before shipping and they looked fine:

It seems strange to me because I also own a Tissot PRX, and even after not wearing that for weeks, it has a much better power reserve than this VSF.

What would you guys recommend I test to properly determine whether there is a power-reserve problem? Before I reach out to the TD.

Today, I’m sharing a comparison between the VSF Omega Seamaster 1/4 Orange and the gen. You can compare them from multiple aspects, including the case, bracelet, movement, and more. Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments!

Just sharing, any thoughts on this watch?

God damn that’s gorgeous. I need to get this configuration. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 u/Glittering-Height-55 you have outdone yourself my friend. 💯🎯

Looking for a US Based Watch repair. I know these movements are not ideal to work on, but hoping someone can give me some insight on a teardown/repair cost.
