On the track of replicating Rolex’s “Double Calendar DD” (Datejust 41 Double Window Calendar), VS Factory has always been synonymous with quality and craftsmanship. In early 2026, VS will be officially launchedBlack rock candy V2 upgraded version, not only further improved the dial details and movement performance, but also significantly increased the weight of the entire watch from 140 grams in the V1 version to182 grams, another big step towards the heavy feel of the original 210 grams. Although the weight of the original version has not yet been fully aligned, its performance in workmanship, movement and visual restoration is still worthy of the attention of high-end players.
1. The 182-gram counterweight is upgraded and the texture is significantly improved.
Since the V1 version is only weighted by the case and the strap is not weighted, it is overall lighter and looks slightly “floating” when worn. The V2 versionSynchronized reinforced case and strap counterweights, with a total expression of 182 grams, it is obviously more solid to use. Although there is still a gap with the original 210 grams (currently RC, CBD and other manufacturers have achieved 210 grams), VS has been as close to the authentic feel as possible while maintaining structural rationality and wearing comfort. According to industry news, VS may be further optimized to 210 grams in subsequent versions, which is worth looking forward to.
2. Disk details: The “high-end feel” of black rock candy is well grasped
- Radial pattern disk: Delicate and realistic, with clear layers of light flow, without any sense of cheap plastic;
- 3D printing fonts: The calendar and brand logo are printed with high precision, with thick and neat handwriting and no burrs on the edges;
- diamond scale: Made of high-quality zircon, with natural fire color and firm setting, it is not comparable to cheap rhinestones;
- Pointers and center axis: The hands are cleanly cut, and the solid central axis design is highly aligned, eliminating the “hollow false feeling”;
- Blue film bubble mirror: The 2.5x magnifying glass is coated with anti-glare blue film, which is transparent and clear. The edges are sunken and polished to restore the original craftsmanship.
It is particularly worth mentioning thatEnglish font corner cutting——Neat and sharp, without any burrs, which is still a shortcoming in many products from small manufacturers, but VS has achieved this to the extreme.
3. Material and structure: From the dog tooth ring to the buckle, genuine seals are found everywhere.
- Dog tooth ring upgrade: Changed from early copper material to316L steel electroplating, not only the luster is more natural, but the antioxidant capacity is also greatly improved, and it is not easy to darken after long-term wear;
- Sapphire mirror: High light transmittance, combined with sunken edge processing, looks more like the original;
- Strap and buckle: 25 sections standard length, no extension design to ensure proportional coordination; the buckle is engraved with the “4WR” logo, and details such as the dragon and phoenix logo on the inside, the balance scale, and “AU70” are all deeply engraved and clear, and the fonts are regular, paying tribute to the original anti-counterfeiting system;
- Head Logo: The crown is three-dimensional and full, with precise positioning, smooth screwing and good sealing.
