Hello everyone, I am purewatches. To be honest, I was a little surprised when I first got the watch – VS Factory finally made the Seamaster 600 into a small size this time! With a watch diameter of 39.5 mm, a white dial, and the same model for men and women, this configuration is simply tailor-made for the needs of watch lovers with small wrists and couples.
In the past, Haima 600 basically started at 42 mm, and it always felt a bit “top-heavy” when worn on a thin wrist. This time VS Factory launched the 39.5mm version, and we really heard everyone’s wishes. Today let’s talk about the true performance of this little white seahorse.
Disk details: White can also be very layered
First let’s talk about this board. The white dial actually tests the workmanship. If it is not done well, it will easily look “cheap” or “white”. But the VS factory handled it well this time. The entire disk is a warm milky white, not a dazzling pure white. There will be delicate texture changes when the light hits it.
The scales on the disk have been trimmed, and the edges are clean and sharp without burrs. The luminous coating is neatly filled, and the three-dimensional scale looks silvery white during the day. The luminous effect is also very powerful at night, and the brightness is uniform and long-lasting. Especially the luminous pearl at 12 o’clock has a small mirror protection added to it. Many small factories ignore this detail, but VS factory does it very well.
The cutting process of the hands is also very particular, with sharp edges and no fuzzy rough edges. The central axis is a solid cap-type design that snaps in the middle like a small hat. The pointers are very stable and will not shake when rotating. The logo is a patch-type three-dimensional design, which is very delicately cut. There will be subtle reflective changes when the light sweeps over it, and it is full of texture.
Ceramic ring: light and crisp, extra points for hand feel
The ring mouth is made of black ceramic material and can rotate in one direction. The damping feel is moderate when rotating, not too loose or too tight. The “click” sound is lighter than that of the Haima 300 and sounds crisper. This detail is actually quite important. When many replica watches have one-way rings, they are either too tight to turn, or too loose to feel. The VS factory has adjusted it better this time.
The scale filling on the ceramic ring is also very solid. It is made of white enamel and has good wear resistance. It is not easy to fade in daily use. The edges of the scale are clear and there is no overflow or blur, which is very friendly to obsessive-compulsive players.
Case polishing: the art of balancing brushing and polishing
The two sides of the case are brushed, the texture is fine and even, and it feels smooth to the touch. Although the helium escape valve at 9 o’clock is only decorative, it can be screwed out normally. This detail is very interesting to restore. The corners of the watch case have been polished and ground, with a natural transition and no harsh edges.
The logo engraving on the crown is also very three-dimensional, with a screw-in design. The damping feels moderate during operation, and the sealing performance should be good. Overall, the workmanship of this watch case is excellent among replica watches in the same price range.
Watch strap selection: belt, tape, steel strap can be changed as you like
This time the 39.5mm version offers a variety of strap options. The tape version is equipped with a folding buckle, which can be opened by pressing left and right, making it very convenient to operate. The belt version is a composite design with leather on the top and rubber on the bottom, taking into account both comfort and durability. If you like the metallic texture, you can also choose the steel belt version.
I personally recommend the tape version. It has good breathability in summer and is more suitable for sports scenes. The belt version is suitable for daily commuting and will not go out of style with formal wear. The design of one watch with multiple straps is indeed very practical.
Movement upgrade: Dandong 8800 integrated movement, stability is the last word
Speaking of the biggest upgrade of this V4 version, it must be the movement. The old version uses the 2824 plywood movement. Although the stability is good, it is not a true one-piece structure after all. This time, the replacement of Dandong 8800 integrated movement really solved the pain point.
This movement has always had a good reputation in the replica circle, with accurate travel time and low repair rate. For daily wear, the error can basically be controlled within a reasonable range, and frequent adjustments are not needed. Moreover, the structure of the integrated movement is more compact, the thickness is better controlled, and the entire watch will not look bloated when worn.
More importantly, the durability of Dandong 8800 is really good. Many watch friends have reported that they have no major problems after wearing them for a year or two. This is really important for replica watches. After all, no one wants to buy a watch and have it repaired every three days, so peace of mind is the way to go.
Wearing experience: Small size is really more friendly
After actually wearing it for a week, the overall feeling is still very satisfactory. The size of 39.5 mm is really versatile. Girls with thin wrists will not look too big when wearing it, and boys will not feel stingy when wearing it. The white surface is highly recognizable and easy to match with clothes on a daily basis. It belongs to the type of “you can’t go wrong no matter how you match it”.
The fit of the strap is also good, and you won’t feel any discomfort or slipping when worn for a long time. The overall weight is reasonably controlled, not too light, nor too heavy on the wrist. The balance is quite good.
Couple style matching: one black and one white, double the romance
This time, the 39.5mm version is available in white and black, which is perfect for couples. Girls wear white, fresh and elegant; boys wear black, calm and elegant. Putting the two watches together not only maintains the consistency of the series, but also has their own characteristics. It is really romantic.
Moreover, the small size design will not look bulky for girls to wear, which is very important for couples. After all, no one wants his girlfriend to wear a watch like a “little alarm clock”.
Objectively talk about what needs attention
Of course, we have to tell the truth. Although the overall performance of this watch is good, it is still a replica watch after all, and there is definitely a gap between it and the original. For example, the helium escape valve is just decoration and has no actual function. In addition, although the ceramic ring is wear-resistant, it may still be slightly worn after long-term high-intensity use. You still need to pay attention to maintenance when wearing it daily.
Summary: Watches for small wrists are worth considering
Taken together, the Haima 600 39.5mm V4 version from VS Factory is indeed an excellent choice among small-sized diving watches currently on the market. The craftsmanship of the white disk, the texture of the ceramic ring, and the stability of the Dandong 8800 movement are all key points that are well done.
If you have a thin wrist or are looking for a replica watch for couples, then this 39.5mm white seamaster is indeed worth considering. Especially after upgrading to an integrated movement, stability and durability are more guaranteed.
Of course, before buying, you must find reliable channels and confirm that it is the VS factory V4 version to avoid buying old models or imitations from small manufacturers. After all, this size is quite scarce now, and there are indeed some fish in troubled waters on the market.
Okay, that’s it for today’s sharing about the small size of the VS Factory Haima 600. If you have any questions about this watch or want to know about other styles, please leave a message in the comment area. See you in the next issue!
