Hello everyone, I am purewatches. This issue brings two new products that have become extremely popular in the replica circle recently——36mm Oyster Perpetual “Pistachio Green” produced by VS Factory and 40mm blue face day calendar DD. Both models are highly recognizable star models in the Rolex family. One is fresh and outstanding, the other is calm and domineering. The key is that this time VS Factory has really put in a lot of effort in restoring the core configuration and details.
Let’s talk about this one first36mm Perpetual “Lavender Green”, also affectionately called “pistachio green” by cousins. This color scheme first appeared in the Rolex women’s Perpetual series. The soft green tone has a hint of gray, which is not unassuming but eye-catching enough. It is especially suitable for daily commuting or matching with skirts for formal occasions. VS Factory has adjusted the color very well this time. It is not the dazzling fluorescent green, but has a warm and jade-like high-end feel.
The details of the dial are also very particular: the hands and hour markers are all polished, with sharp edges and natural reflections; the luminous filling is even and full, and no overflow or bubbles can be seen under macro; the font printing is clear and powerful, even the small words “SWISS MADE” are meticulous. The most noteworthy thing is,The bottom bracket is a solid design, unlike some low-priced versions that use hollow needles to fill the gap, the quality gap immediately widens.
The entire case and strap are made of904L stainless steel material, strong corrosion resistance, and the gloss after polishing is close to the original. The plate and chain design is restored in place, and it fits snugly without feeling loose. The mirror is made of high-dome sapphire crystal, with precise curvature and transparent reflection. The back uses a solid bottom cover, which fits tightly after being tightened, and an extended structure is also built inside to further improve the overall stability.
In terms of movement, it is equipped withDandong 3230 movement, the power reserve reaches 70 hours, the running time is stable, and the adjustment feels smooth. Although it is a single-speed adjustment (no air gear), the functional logic is completely consistent with the new original. You can adjust the time by pulling it out, without any additional operations, and there is no obstacle to daily use.
Let’s look at the highlight——VS factory 40mm blue face day calendar DD. This can be said to be the best replica model currently on the market.The only one truly equipped with Dandong 3255 movementversion, while most other manufacturers are still using the “fake 3255” modified by the Shanghai factory based on the 3135. What’s the difference? Simply put:One is a native structure and the other is a patchwork module. The VS model truly restores the original logic from the bottom of the movement, and its performance and stability are completely different.
Its calendar adjustment experience is amazing——Calendar jumps accurately to the second, you can feel the refreshing feeling of “click” when you wind it up. The fonts are clear and thick, and the three-dimensional printing is completely different from some versions that are sloppy and have weak fonts.
The interior of the movement is upgraded to27 ruby bearings, more than the old 3285, running more smoothly, and the spring feels lighter and smoother. With its back-transparent design, AU750’s engravings are deep and powerful, the plywood is neatly polished, and the screws are positioned accurately. You can see the style of a major manufacturer at a glance.
But there is also a small regret:The entire watch weighs 146 grams, compared to the original K gold model which weighs more than 200 grams, it is still lighter. This is because VS currently only adds weight to the watch head part, and the strap is not thickened or weighted. Although there will be no obvious floating feeling when wearing it, if you are particularly concerned about the “falling feel”, you need to understand this in advance. But from the perspective of craftsmanship, VS insists on not relying on “lead filling” to fake the weight, but instead shows more sincerity.
As for the dial, the blue radial pattern adjustment is very natural, the hands and Roman numerals are neatly symmetrical, and there is no problem of skew or uneven thickness. VS’s control over such details far exceeds that of most factories at the same level.
Summary: Is it worth buying?
If you are:
- Want to own a piece that looks great and is suitable for daily wear?Light luxury style women’s watch → ThenVS Pistachio Green Perpetual 36mmDefinitely the best solution at present;
- Or those who pursue the ultimate restoration and value the authenticity of the movementAdvanced players → ThenVS blue surface DD 40mmThe genuine 3255 movement equipped is almost the ceiling of the current replica market.
What these two watches have in common is:It does not rely on heaping weight to win gimmicks, but uses solid materials, fine polishing and truly self-developed movements to speak for itself.. They may not be the heaviest, but they are certainly the ones that stand up to a closer look.
A final reminder: There are too many imitations in the market. Look for formal channels, check the movement number and after-sales guarantee, and don’t let the “temptation of low prices” ruin your collection experience.
