In the replica watch circle, the Rolex Daytona series has always been the most popular. The VS factory gray rubber V2 weighted version that I want to review for you today can be said to be one of the most noteworthy replica watches in the near future. As a veteran who has been playing with watches for many years, I have personally experienced this watch. Here I will give you a detailed analysis from multiple dimensions.
Amazing weight reduction
The biggest highlight of this VS factory gray rubber V2 is its weight control. The original gray rubber dial weighs about 99 grams, and the VS factory has achieved more than 98 grams, with an error of less than 1 gram! You must know that this is achieved without changing the appearance of the watch case. The overall weight is 136 grams. Compared with the original version of 163 grams, the main difference is in the buckle material (the original version is precious metal). Compared with the 150-gram version from other manufacturers, the craftsmanship of the VS factory is obviously superior.
Exquisite watch case craftsmanship
Using new counterweight technology, the internal structure of the watch case has been specially treated to ensure weight restoration without affecting wearing comfort. The ceramic ring is made of fine workmanship, the crown is full of three-dimensionality, and the proportions of the three dots are perfectly restored. The gray dial has a very delicate sunray pattern and the color difference is almost negligible.
Full score for strap comfort
Equipped with memory steel tape, the softness and bending are just right. The buckle adopts a new version of fine-tuning design, opening and closing smoothly, and the engraving is clear and profound. There are precious metal logos on the four bottom corners, and the details are quite in place.
Outstanding movement performance
Equipped with Dandong 4131 movement, the energy storage reaches 72 hours:
- Three o’clock: 30 minutes timer
- Six o’clock: Second hand
- Nine o’clock: 12 hours time
The operation feels smooth and the timing function is accurate and stable. The winding feel is delicate and the timing adjustment is smooth without any lag.
Three tips to spot the trap of small factories
- Weight comparison: 99 grams for the genuine watch, 98 grams for the VS factory; small manufacturers tend to weigh around 70 grams
- Watch strap touch: VS factory memory steel sheet is soft and comfortable; small factory is too hard and does not fit the hand.
- Movement stability: Dandong 4131 movement can withstand the test; small factory movements are prone to problems
Buying advice
- Look for the iconic craftsmanship of VS factory
- Check whether the radial pattern on the dial is delicate
- Test whether the timing function is smooth
- Feel the strap comfort
- Ask for complete packaging and warranty card
Summary: This gray rubber V2 counterweighted version from VS Factory has reached the top level in terms of weight restoration, detailed workmanship, and movement performance. It is one of the versions closest to genuine products currently on the market. For watch friends who pursue the ultimate restoration, it is definitely worth buying.
