Hello everyone, I am purewatches. Today we will talk about the new 4130 Ice Landi launched by VS Factory. This design cannot be considered brand new, as other manufacturers have been offering this model for several years. VS factory has only started producing this new style now, let us take a look at their production level.
The outer ring of this panda is brown, not a real black panda, including some other pandas, which are black. If it’s ice blue, it’s brown, the color is well adjusted, and the engraving is very dark and clear. For a glass mirror, it has very good transparency. But this kind of glass mirror is not the high-definition type. For example, BT’s DI is the kind of high-definition high-transparency glass, so it is not the correct version. As for C, including those from VS factory, its glass is not the kind of high-transparency glass, so this point is relatively consistent. This does not mean that only high-definition glass is genuine, nor is it the case.
Regarding the design details of the disk, it is really well done. First of all, we carefully observed its disk surface, and you will find that the brushing effect is very fine and obvious, and there are also some hairline textures. These details will become clearer when exposed to sunlight. The three small dials are all brown and have no racing pattern. But the dial here does not have a racing track pattern, which is different from Panda Di’s design. Its surface is smooth. On one side of it, there are also three small dials, with the second hand below. Next is the chronograph minute dial, which is the chronograph hour dial. Next, the tacks are nicely filled with luminous treatment, the tacks are polished so that they don’t look sharp or rough, and all the hands are of the correct design.
As for the bottom bracket, it’s definitely our biggest competitor. As far as the bottom bracket is concerned, I personally think that the VS factory does a pretty good job because it is solid from an enlarged perspective. In addition, its central axis has also been polished, including chamfering, etc., which are polished very brightly, such as C and BT. If you choose to zoom in and look at it, it gives the impression of being uneven, as if it has been cut without being polished. But the bottom bracket of the VS factory is different because it has been polished, so its performance is quite good in terms of the bottom bracket.
As for the design of the shell case, we actually don’t need to go into details because this design has been produced for quite a long time. Specifically, the shell is the version of 4130. The two sides of the steel band are brushed, and the hair in the middle is polished. There is another unique feature in Ice Landi’s buckle, that is, it uses frosted technology, so this design is also correct. This area has a frosted finish, which makes it different from the rest. The coding of the buckle is also correct. If Dandong’s 4130 movement is used, then it is not just the VS factory that has the 4130 movement. In fact, there are many factories that can obtain this 4130 movement. But for the 4131 movement, only the VS factory in Dandong has it, and it is almost impossible to obtain it from other factories. This has basically formed a monopoly on the VS factory.
As for the 4130 movement, almost all factories are currently equipped with this movement, so in Nadi, almost all of them are the Dandong version of the 4130 movement. Next, what we need to focus on comparing is the appearance design of this product, including panel details and cost performance. This product has been made for a long time and pretty much every factory makes it pretty well. In terms of movement, we use Dandong 4130 movement. But in terms of cost performance, I think only the VS factory’s products perform very well, so its price is not too high. While the C does cost more than the VS, in my opinion the C’s bottom bracket is not necessary. Similarly, if it is the bottom bracket of C, the performance of VS factory is not satisfactory. Therefore, for the 4130 movement, I always tend to recommend the VS factory, and the 4131 is no exception. Considering that the Dandong movement of 4131 can only be provided by the VS factory, it is difficult for other manufacturers to obtain it. From a cost-effective perspective, VS Factory’s 4130 is indeed an excellent choice.
