Hello everyone, I am purewatches! Today let’s talk about the Tiffany Blue Oyster Perpetual launched by VS Factory. To be honest, when this watch first appeared, the fresh blue plate really made people’s eyes shine, especially for female cousins, who were simply irresistible.
Multiple sizes + multiple colors, versatile style for both men and women
Let’s first talk about the specification selection of this Oyster Perpetual. VS Factory is very considerate this time. It has three watch diameters: 41 mm, 36 mm, and 31 mm. Whether you are a boy who likes big dials or a girl who prefers exquisite small dials, you can find a size that suits you.
The color matching is even more ridiculous: green, black, silver, pink, and of course today’s protagonist-Tiffany blue. This color is really stunning. It is fresh and refined in the sunshine, and has a low-key sense of luxury under indoor light. It can be easily used for daily commuting and dating parties.
Mirror surface + disk surface: as transparent as nothing, full of texture
My first impression after getting the actual watch: This mirror is too transparent! The VS factory uses high-quality sapphire glass with extremely high light transmittance. You can hardly feel the existence of the mirror when you wear it on your hand, and you can clearly see the details of the disk.
Let’s look at the board itself. It is not a smooth surface, but has a fine frosted texture. This treatment method is completely consistent with the original product. Gently turn your wrist under the light, and the disk will show subtle changes in light and shadow, instantly filling the sense of luxury.
The hands and scales are also very interesting. The Buff-type three-dimensional pointer is not a small flat patch, but a three-dimensional shape with thickness, and the edges are chamfered. The solid center shaft is designed with a small hat, and the details of the small round nail in the middle are also well handled. Especially the second hand, with its arc-shaped three-dimensional design, moves particularly smartly.
Case polishing: 904L stainless steel + high polished rounded corners, delicate feel
The entire watch case is made of 904L fine steel, which is more corrosion-resistant and has better gloss than ordinary 316L. The handle on the side adopts relief technology, and the logo is full of three-dimensionality. The corners are rounded and high-polished, and they are smooth when touched without cutting your hands. These details really reflect the factory’s care.
There is a detail that many people overlook: there is a step design at the connection between the strap and the lugs. When you touch it with your hands, you can clearly feel that the strap is slightly lower than the watch head. This design is completely consistent with the original product. Small factories often make flat surfaces to save trouble, but VS factory even restores such hidden details, which is really reliable.
The strap itself is treated with a brushing process, and the corners are also rounded and high-polished, ensuring wearing comfort and texture.
Movement upgrade: Dandong 3230+27 balls, V2 version is full of sincerity
Here comes the highlight – the movement! This watch is equipped with the Dandong 3230 integrated movement. Its structure is basically the same as that of the 3235. The difference is that the 3230 is a calendar-less version, while the 3235 has a calendar function. The core parameters of stability and power reserve are exactly the same, so there is no need to worry about daily use.
Let’s focus on this upgrade of the V2 version: the Dandong movement now uses 27 ball bearings! The benefits of this upgrade are obvious: smoother winding, more stable travel time, and better noise control. Moreover, the hot stamping engraving on the automatic rotor has finally been arranged. Previously, this place was blank in the old version, but now the detail restoration has been improved to another level.
As far as I know, the configuration of 27 ball bearings will gradually spread to other models of the VS factory in the future. This time, the Tiffany Blue Oyster Perpetual is one of the first models to benefit.
Wearing experience: light and comfortable, versatile and error-free
Only when you really put it on your wrist will you discover the charm of this watch. The watch diameter of 41 mm will not be too exaggerated, and the thickness of about 10 mm can be easily stuffed into a shirt cuff. Tiffany blue is a really wonderful color. It doesn’t look out of place when paired with formal wear, and looks great with casual wear. It’s the kind of all-purpose model that “can’t go wrong no matter how you wear it.”
Buying advice
In general, this Tiffany Blue Oyster Perpetual from VS Factory is very balanced in terms of appearance restoration, detailed workmanship, and movement configuration. If you are considering buying a daily commuter watch with good looks, good workmanship and good value for money, this one is really worthy of your attention. Especially those who like fresh color matching and pursuit of detail restoration, just close your eyes and watch.
