I am purewatches, and I have been focusing on the disassembly and detail comparison of high imitation watches for many years. What I want to talk to you about today are two new gold DD (Datejust) colors just launched by VS Factory——black rock candywithSmoked gradient green plate, equipped with all seriesDandong 3255 integrated movement, the counterweight is upgraded and the details are full, especially the “black and green” dial, which is simply fascinating at a glance under the light.
Let’s talk about color first. Many people think that “golden DD” is the old-fashioned rhubarb, but VS’s color selection is very smart this time – it is not pure yellow, but a champagne gold with a bit of white tone, which is closer to the texture of the original 18K Everose gold. From a distance, it looks low-key and restrained, but from a close look, it still looks noble. It can be worn with a suit or in daily wear without any pressure.
Focus on thisSmoked gradient green plate. It looks like a deep black plate from the front. When it is turned diagonally, a rich dark green luster immediately appears. Especially under sunlight or light, the transition from outside to inside, from black to green, is extremely natural, without any “spray paint feeling”. The surface of the disk is also printed with oil-based three-dimensional printing. The hour markers and LOGO are slightly raised, and combined with gold nails and lancets, the sense of layering is directly enhanced. Although there are small flaws in the beveling of the hands and the polishing of the center axis (the chamfering of the center axis is slightly stiff), the overall fineness is definitely superior in the same price range.
Let’s look at the details: the chamfers on both sides of the nails are clean and neat, and the calendar window is accurately centered. This is due to the optimization of the quick-adjustment structure of the Dandong 3255 movement, unlike some Shanghai-modified movements that skew to the left. The dog tooth ring (serrated ring) is extremely brightly polished, sparkling at different angles, and has a high degree of restoration. The watch case is made of 316L stainless steel base + multi-layer PVD gold plating. Its wear resistance and color durability are much stronger than single-layer electroplating.
In terms of movement,Dandong 3255I am already an old acquaintance, but I must praise: it is really stable. The measured 70-hour power reserve is reliable, the daily difference in travel time is controlled within ±5 seconds, the winding is smooth, and the calendar adjustment does not skip frames. More importantly, it is highly consistent in structure with the original 3255, and many parts can even be interchanged with genuine products, which is far superior to the Shanghai 7750 facelift.
In terms of weight, the weighted version has reached about 180 grams (refer to the platinum model), which is much more stable than the early V1 version of 148 grams. When worn, it feels “pressing on the hand” and completely bids farewell to the “toy watch” impression. If you are looking for portability, VS also retains the V1 lightweight version as an option, but I personally recommend the weighted version – after all, the DD is a formal watch, and a little weight will show class.
Summary: The dual calendar DD gold model launched by VS this time not only completes the popular color matching matrix, but also makes full efforts in disk technology, movement performance and wearing texture. Especially the smoked green plate, which is low-key and has a bit of personality. It is definitely one of the most worth buying replica formal watches in the beginning of 2026. When playing with watches, doesn’t it mean that you need both face and smugness? This one has it all.
