In the replica Rolex circle, the VS factory’s Datejust has always been recognized as a “ceiling” level. Over the years, it has firmly occupied the first choice position in the hearts of players with its stable Dandong 3235 movement, highly restored details and just the right weight. Just recently, VS quietly launched the log V2 version – seemingly low-key, but in fact it has completed a key upgrade:The platinum dog teeth ring finally “matches my taste”!
Platinum circle completes the last piece of the puzzle
Although the old VS log is almost perfect, the material of the ring is always a small regret. The original 36mm or 41mm steel log is matched with904L steel case + 18K white gold dog tooth ring, and early replicas often used stainless steel rings. Not only was the color grayer, but it was also nearly 4 grams lighter. It always felt “almost boring” when worn on the hand.
The V2 version completely solves this problem——Brand new platinum dog tooth ringNot only is the color closer to the warm, cold white precious metal texture of the original, but the density and weight are also accurately restored. The weight of the entire watch has increased from 128 grams of V1 to 132 grams, which is infinitely close to the original measured data of 130+ grams. In contrast, some brands (such as QF) have made their watches weigh 146 grams in pursuit of a “pressure feel”, but they appear bulky and distorted. This upgrade of VS truly achieves “version without stacking materials, restoration without exaggeration”.
Dandong 3235 movement is still the exclusive trump card
In addition to the ring, the movement is still the core advantage of VS. Currently on the marketOnly VS is truly equipped with the original Dandong 3235 movement.. Don’t be fooled by the “Dandong 3235” branded by some manufacturers – many are just imitations in appearance, and the details cannot withstand scrutiny.
How to distinguish authentic and fake Dandong 3235?
✅ Adjustable bridge guard: The movement guard bridge of VS is a functional component and can truly adjust the height; the imitations are mostly decorative and will fall off as soon as you twist them.
✅ red wheel color: True Danton uses a calm vermilion balance wheel, not dazzling bright red.
✅ Adjustment screw: The fine-tuning screw below the 3235 engraving is a flat design, which is effective when pressed and can actually adjust the time; fakes are mostly dead screws.
✅ Part commonality: Genuine Dandong has high mold opening accuracy, and some parts can even be interchanged with the original ones.
These details are the “hardcore threshold” for high-end replicas.
