Anyone who plays watches knows that the white plate Rolex “Yacht-Master” has always been synonymous with low-key luxury – especially the 18K white gold case, which gives a heavy sense of nobility in the hand that ordinary steel watches cannot give. But genuine products can easily cost more than 200,000 yuan, and ordinary people can only look at it and sigh? Don’t worry! The latest V3 counterweight version of the white yacht from VS Factory directly cures your “weight anxiety”!
This time is no small matter, it is the “ultimate evolution” in the true sense – the weight of the entire watch is measured at 146.9 grams, which is infinitely close to the original 18K platinum version! How? It’s not like V2’s “iron plate attached to the back cover”, but from the case to the back cover, the whole mold is re-opened and the counterweight structure is formed in one piece! The back cover alone weighs 21.8 grams, three times that of an ordinary steel case! The first feeling when I hold it in my hand is: “Wow, this watch has weight!” – not bulky, but the “solid feeling only found in high-end products.”
VS factory has always been a “Virgo-level obsessive-compulsive disorder”. The pure black dial on the front is clean and neat, the hydraulic three-dimensional printed fonts are sharp and not blurry, the 6 o’clock and 9 o’clock inverted triangle scales are all rounded and polished, and every angle has a delicate luster. The concentricity of the central axis of the pointer is excellent, and the luminous filling is even and full. It is still the same blue luminous light, and the visibility is full in dark light environments.
The bezel is a boon for detail control: frosted bottom + polished embossed characters, the touch is distinct, and the rotation is smooth with a sense of damping. The inner shadow engraving is clear and burr-free, and the precious metal “750” logo is deep and three-dimensional—these are processes that you didn’t dare to touch on weight watches before, but now VS can make them all for you!
The strap is made of imported rubber material with embedded steel support, which is anti-aging, does not stick to fingerprints, and is skin-friendly when worn. The buckle is Rolex’s classic Glidelock fine-tuning system, coded “W5T”, and is factory-fitted for wrists of 15.5-18cm. Is it too thin or too thick? Don’t worry, the official provides long and short strap replacement services, which is considerate to your home.
Movement? It is still the VS exclusive Dandong 3235, with 70 hours of power reserve, instantaneous calendar, and fully aligned time adjustment logic (turn the head downwards to move clockwise). Its stability has been proven by the market for many years, and the daily difference can easily be within ±5 seconds. The waterproof performance is tested and there is no pressure in the shower, which is sufficient for daily wear.
The most important thing is that it solves the biggest “plastic feel” problem of replica watches. In the past, wearing a yacht always felt “light and soulless”, but now that you get the V3 weighted version, the steady, fitting, and present wearing experience will really make you forget that it is a “replica watch.”
To sum up: If you pursue “original feel + top-notch details + reliable movement” but don’t want to spend tens of thousands, the VS White Yacht V3 weighted version is the “ceiling answer” on the current market. Black plate with blue luminous color, versatile and high-end, perfect for commuting and partying – it’s the best value of the year if you buy it!
