I have been wearing the VS Green Jindi V3 weighted version for two weeks, let me tell you the truth.
As an “old watch enthusiast” who has worn no less than five or six versions of Green Gold, to be honest, my requirements for replica watches have long been upgraded from “doesn’t it look like it” to “is it comfortable to use or not”. But this time when I got the new weighted version of the Green Jindi V3 from VS Factory, I was a little surprised – it not only “looks like”, but actually “wears like”.
The moment you first get started, the most intuitive feeling is “heavy”. It’s not that cumbersome and heavy, but that solid feeling unique to genuine Rolex. I weighed it specially and found that the entire strap chain weighs about 180 grams, which is almost the same as my friend’s genuine piece. More importantly, VS does not rely on thickening the case or strap to add weight. The size, thickness, and lug width are all perfectly matched, and there is no sense of disobedience when worn on the wrist. Even at the gatherings of watch friends I often go to, no one suspects that it is a replica-this was something I never dared to think about before.
After wearing it daily for more than a week, I found that its dial really does not need to be modified later. In some previous versions, the green color was either too fluorescent or too dark, and would “turn over” when the light changed. But the V3 disc is a vivid emerald green under sunlight during the day, and turns into a deep dark green under indoor lighting at night. It is full of layers and completely restores the “changing with the light” charm of the original product. The radial pattern and the CD pattern of the three small counters are also made delicately. They sparkle when viewed from the side, giving a full sense of luxury.
The movement is Dandong 4130, which I am particularly satisfied with. The time adjustment is smooth and the chronograph function is responsive – I tried it while running last week. When I pressed the chronograph button, the large second hand started with a “click”, which was accurate to the second; the reset was also simple and without any sloppiness. I record the travel time error every day, and the average daily difference is about +2 seconds, which is amazing for this price.
The strap is another point I want to praise. The alternating processing of brushing and polishing is very natural, and it is not as “shiny” or “rough” as some factory products. The edges are chamfered and rounded, fitting the wrist, and there is no irritation after wearing it for a day. Even the 750 steel seal, dog head mark, and anti-counterfeiting dots on the inside of the buckle are all available, and you will be moved by the details.
In general, VS’s V3 weighted version this time is no longer a “makeshift choice” but a “worthy choice”. It balances weight, movement, details, and wearing feel without any obvious shortcomings. If you are like me, you want both face and dignity, but don’t want to spend six figures to buy genuine products, then this V3 weighted Green Jindi can really be used with your eyes closed.
