Hello everyone, I am purewatches. The watch I want to talk to you about today, to be honest, I was moved when I first saw the picture – the newly launched Datejust Smoked Green by VS Factory in 2026. This color scheme is really delicious.
Now there are two sizes on the market, 36mm and 41mm, so couples can match them directly, which is very considerate. But let me make it clear first that at present, my most recommended version of this style is the VS factory version, because they have upgraded to the V2 version, whether it is 36 or 41, the details are quite good.
Gradient disk: This touch of green really “breathes”
My first impression when I got the actual product was that the color transition on this disk was so natural. The gradient effect that spreads outward from the center is not a stiff color block splicing, but a slowly spreading feeling like smoke. This is why some people call it “smoky green”, which is really vivid.
Under different lights, this disk will show different textures. Indoor light is deep, giving it a low-key sense of luxury; under sunlight, the green layering comes out, and the transition from dark green to light green is very smooth and does not appear abrupt.
Attention to details: the calendar window and magnifying glass are both “correct”
The essence of the Datejust lies in the details, and VS Factory has really worked hard on the V2 version this time. The calendar font is clear and full, without any blur or skew. The calendar window is neatly cut with clean edges.
What makes me most satisfied is the magnifying glass. The magnification is just right. I can see the calendar very clearly, and the position is basically the same as the original. In many versions made by small factories, the magnifying glass is either crooked or has the wrong magnification, which can be seen at a glance.
Ring and strap: The platinum dog tooth ring is really shiny
This time the V2 version has a counterweighted bezel and uses a platinum dog tooth bezel. This ring is really shiny. When the light shines on it, every tooth is reflecting light, which is full of texture. Moreover, the cutting of the dog teeth is very regular, without burrs or unevenness.
The watch comes with two options: five-bead chain and three-bead chain. I personally recommend the five-bead chain, which is more comfortable to wear and has a better fit. The polishing of the chain links is very delicate, the transition between brushing and polishing is very clean, and it feels very smooth to the touch.
Movement: The stability of Dandong 3235 has nothing to say
In terms of movement, it is equipped with the latest 27-ball Dandong 3235 movement. This movement has always had a good reputation in the replica circle, with good stability and sufficient energy storage time. If you wear it daily, you basically don’t have to worry about travel time.
The VS factory has made the journal type very mature. From the early version to the current V2 version, progress can be seen with every upgrade. Especially in terms of movement, the performance of Dandong 3235 is indeed reassuring.
How to identify the version: pay attention to these details
A special reminder here is that there are already some small factories on the market making this smoked green style. Everyone must pay attention to identifying the version when buying it. Mainly look at these places:
The first is the color transition of the disk. The gradients of VS factory are very natural, while those of small factories often have a color block feeling. The second step is to polish the edge of the dog tooth ring. The one made by VS factory is very neat and shiny, while the one made by small factory may have burrs or unevenness. Finally, there is the movement, which must be confirmed to be Dandong 3235. Some small factories will use other movements to pass it off.
Wearing experience: comfort and appearance are both online
After actually wearing it for a week, the overall feeling is still very satisfactory. The 36mm size is relatively versatile. It won’t look too big for those with thin wrists, and it can be held by those with thick wrists. The five-bead chain fits very well and won’t feel irritated when worn for a long time.
This smoky green color scheme is really special. It is neither as showy as pure green nor as boring as black. It is suitable for daily wear with formal or casual wear. It is a low-key but tasteful type.
Summary: Is it worth buying?
Taken together, the Log 36 smoke green V2 version from VS Factory is indeed an excellent choice among the same models currently on the market. The craftsmanship of the gradient dial, the polishing of the platinum dog-tooth ring, and the stability of the Dandong 3235 movement, these core points are all done well.
If you are looking for a unique, good-looking, and stable Datejust replica watch, then this smoked green version is indeed worth considering. Especially for couples, a pair of 36 and 41 is really romantic.
Of course, before buying, you must find reliable channels and confirm that it is the VS factory V2 version to avoid buying imitations from small manufacturers. After all, this color scheme is quite popular right now, and there are indeed some fish in troubled waters on the market.
