On the popular track of replicating the “Inter Milan Circle” of Greenwich, VS factory and C factory have always been the focus of debate among watch friends. Recently, I started to compare the latest version of VS Inter Milan circle (blue and black two-color circle) with the same model from C factory. I have to say –VS is indeed better at handling details, especially for players who pursue “both spiritual and physical appearance”, the gap is no longer a “minor repair”, but a real process improvement.
First of all, both are equipped with the Dandong 3285 integrated open-mold movement, which is currently recognized as the top replica movement. It has stable running time and complete functions. There is no choice in this point. The shell shape and strap are basically the same. Although the VS strap feels slightly harder, it is almost imperceptible for daily wear. Only experienced players can notice the subtle differences through repeated comparisons.
What really widens the gap are the “devils hiding in the details.” The two-color ceramic ring splicing of the VS Inter ring is clean and neat.No white marks or gaps, the color transition is natural, fully worthy of the name “Inter Milan”; and the size of the tooth ring gap is also closer to the original, unlike the slightly exaggerated size of the C factory. As for the disk, VS is filled with ice blue luminous light. The brightness and color are highly restored to the original. The hands and scales are polished in place without any burrs.
Many people mentioned that the edge of the VS dial will appear slightly arcuate under strong light. In fact, the original dial itself also has a curvature, but VS makes it slightly more obvious. In contrast, Factory C simply made the edges flat, which in turn lost the original flavor. What’s more critical is the mirror – VS uses a new version of the R-edge blue film mirror, with restrained curvature and transparent coating, which restores the essence of the original “bubble mirror + blue film”; while the C factory mirror’s curvature is too large, andLack of critical blue film process, the secret is revealed at a glance.
At present, the supply of VS factory Inter watches exceeds the demand, and there is even a situation of “hard to find a watch”, which confirms the market recognition. Although there is still room for improvement (such as optimizing the edge of the disk), among all current replicas, it is undoubtedly the bestThe “toy watch” that is closest to the genuine product and has the most solid details. If you are planning to buy a high imitation Greenwich, choose the VS Inter Milan circle with your eyes closed, and you will basically not step into trouble.
