Recently, many cousins have asked me in private messages:Is the new Panda Di 4131 from VS Factory worth buying? Compared with the old model 4130, what is the difference? Today, let’s make it clear once and for all, without making any detours, let’s get straight to the essentials.
Let’s talk about the conclusion first: If you plan to buy a replica Rolex Daytona “Panda Face” now,Just close your eyes and choose the VS Factory 4131 version.. Whether it is appearance details, material upgrades, or core movement performance, it has completely surpassed the old 4130.
Start withAppearance detailsSpeaking of. At first glance, both the old and new Panda Dees are in classic black and white colors, but if you compare them carefully, you will find that the difference is not small. The font of the old 4130’s counter is thicker, the scales are short and thick, and the overall style is retro; while the new 4131’s font is slimmer, the scales are elongated, and the lines are more refined. It is visually closer to the aesthetic trend of the original model in recent years, which is clean and more modern.
The most surprising upgrade isCeramic ring. The ceramic ring of the old model 4130 is directly exposed. Although the texture is good, the ceramic material is naturally brittle and will easily break if bumped. The new 4131 directly adds a circleStainless steel protective ring, firmly wrapping the ceramic, greatly improving the impact resistance. This design is actually the same idea as the later model of the original factory – full of practicality, no need to worry about daily wear.
Look againCase and mirror. VS still uses 904L fine steel to make the case. The corners have natural transitions, the steps are well processed, and even the strap connections are finely polished. The mirror isPot lid type sapphire glass, fully transparent IO coating, extremely transparent, no fog or reflection at any angle. In particular, the small seconds dial at six o’clock has a delicate and oily texture, and the CD texture is clear and layered, which can fully withstand the test of a magnifying glass.
In terms of size, the actual measurement of the new 4131 is about 38.8mm, and the thickness is onlyAbout 12.0mm, thinner and lighter than the old model, and fits closer to the wrist. Don’t be misled by the “40mm” promoted by some merchants. The original Daytona is not a large-diameter watch. True restoration is the last word.
The strap and buckle also continue to be of a high standard.One-piece crown LOGO, no welding marks, smooth opening and closing, dragon and phoenix marks on the inside, anti-counterfeiting code, and 3XU mark (the Ps mark may change in different batches). Every chamfer has been rounded and polished, and the texture is close to the counter level.
But what really makes VS Factory 4131 a god is that oneDandong 4131 integrated movement. Currently, only the VS factory can actually use this movement on the market. Don’t be fooled by the “Shanghai 4131 movement”. Although the running time is stable, the polishing, shock-absorbing structure, and balance wheel details are completely incomparable.
VS this movement usesIE type shock absorber + blue hairspring, the position of the balance wheel accurately restores the original seven-point layout, and the light and heavy wheels below can rotate normally and are no longer just decorations. The plywood has been polished with a delicate Geneva pattern, and the engraving uses hot stamping and deep carving technology, giving it a full three-dimensional feel. More importantly,Power reserve up to 72 hours, smoothly and smoothly without any lag, the stability is comparable to the Swiss ETA7750, the market repair rate is extremely low, and the reputation is explosive.
To summarize:
The Panda Di 4131 produced by VS Factory this time is not a minor repair;A comprehensive leapfrog upgrade. From the protective design to the core of the movement, from the visual beauty to the wearing experience, they have all reached the top level of current replica watches. Although the old 4130 is not bad, it is obviously a generation behind the 4131.
If what you are after is “Replica watches that can be viewed with a magnifying glass“If you want a Panda Di that is worry-free for daily wear and whose details can withstand scrutiny, then VS Factory 4131 is definitely the best solution at the moment.
