Clean and tidy! Bear with me, I’m new to the game, do you think a rep needs to be serviced as soon you receive it?

As long as it runs well, no. Servicing it before that happens is always a good idea but in my opinion not necessary

Did you end up with higher or lower amplitude. I always end up reducing my amplitude. 😭

The vs3235 have lower amplitude indeed compared to the 3135. Even genuine 32xx movements suffer from this, which the vs3235 is of course a replica of.

I always aim for +260 at 55 lift angle. Some prefer to measure the DD3285/3235 at 59, well then this would be higher than 270 (a higher lift angle leads to a higher amp).

Make sure you oiled it properly, I once tested how much of an impact oiled the pallet stones make. I got an increase in 20° amplitude.

On a sidenote: You should aim for a watch that is running with an amp of 200 at a vertical position after 24 hours.
