Speaking of Daytona’s “appearance responsibility”, Green Gold is definitely inescapable. The combination of light gold case + deep green plate + ceramic ring is low-key and luxurious, and can be held in commuting, dating, and business situations. No wonder it has become the “dream watch” of many watchers.
However, the original price is more than 100,000 yuan, and the secondary market has to increase the price, so many watch friends who like Green Gold can only look at “green” and sigh. Fortunately, the replica market gives us a “replacement” option. The V3 weighted version of Green Gold launched by VS factory this time is equipped with Dandong 4131 movement. The whole watch has a weight of 184 grams. Today purewatches will talk about the real performance of this watch.
1. 184g balanced weight: the texture does not show any timidity when you use it.
Let’s talk about the most intuitive advantage first: the entire watch weight of 184 grams.
In order to control costs, many replica watches only add counterweights to the watch head. The strap is still light and top-heavy when worn. However, VS Factory has balanced the weight of the entire watch this time. The watch head and strap have been weighted, and the weight is evenly distributed. It has a heavy pressing feel when you first put it on. When compared with the original version, it is difficult to tell the difference with the naked eye.
The measured ring opening is about 38.7mm, the thickness is about 12.1mm, and the dimensions are exactly the same as the original ones. When worn, it fits the wrist without the burden of “hanging on a boulder”. It is just right for a brother of medium height.
2. Light gold case + deep green plate: the color matching is right
The soul of Green Jindi is the contrasting color combination of light gold + deep green.
The VS factory has corrected the gold tone this time, from the bright yellowish gold to a pale gold that is closer to the original. Under the sun, it looks like a warm golden color, which is neither dazzling nor cheap.
The disk surface is made of deep green, which looks lighter when facing the light, and darker when facing slightly darker light, and has a gradient effect. The radial grain surface is processed very delicately, and there will be subtle gloss changes when the light turns. It is not a rigid solid color, and the texture is very high-end.
The radial patterns of the three small dials are also processed separately, forming a texture contrast with the main dial, and the three-dimensional effect is very strong. The hands are polished cleanly, the central axis is a solid design, the rotation is smooth and not stuck, and the details are well controlled.
3. Ceramic ring + bold lettering: maximum durability
The ring mouth is made of 904L plus 18K vacuum thick gold plating, and the scale is filled with high-temperature injection of platinum powder. The lettering is relatively rough and powerful, the font is clear, the edges are clean, and there is no blur or incompleteness.
You don’t have to worry about fading or scratching for daily wear. Ultraviolet rays and daily friction will not affect the integrity of the scale. The durability is very online. This is much more reliable than the later inlay process of many small factories.
4. Movement core: Dandong 4131, Daytona replica ceiling
The movement is the core competitiveness of VS Factory Green Jindi. The equipped Dandong 4131 integrated movement completely replicates the structure of the authentic 4131, with high automatic winding efficiency and strong shock resistance.
There are three core advantages:
- power reserve: About 72 hours, if you take it off on Friday and wear it again on Monday, it will still run normally, no need to adjust the time frequently;
- Stability: The travel time error is controlled at the excellent level of replica watches, and the repair rate for daily wear is extremely low;
- Functional synchronization: Timing starts, pauses, and resets accurately, and the time adjustment and pause function is consistent with the original version.
The operation is very simple: turn the head upward to wind the spring, pull one gear to adjust the time, and turn it clockwise to adjust the time. The hand feel and stability are very good. There are three buttons in the upper right corner. After releasing the safety, press the upper two to control the timing start and stop, and the lower right corner to reset.
5. Buckle and details: updated coding, solid workmanship
VS Factory has also worked hard on the buckle part. The overall workmanship is solid, opening and closing is smooth, and there is no feeling of lag or looseness.
The interior is complete with engravings, the latest code is M5X, and the required precious metal coding and anti-counterfeiting dots can be clearly seen. The chamfering process is mature, the gap is evenly controlled, and the wrist will not be worn when worn.
The engraving AU750 on the back bottom cover is relatively deep, the font is clear, and the edges are polished smooth, which is consistent with the original craftsmanship. These small details are often the places that best reflect the factory’s capabilities.
6. Selection of old and new styles: choose any nail style as you like
There is a small detail worth noting: the nails of the new Green Jindi are more slender, while the nails of the old model are relatively short and thick, and the style is more classic.
These two versions come down to personal preference: if you like the refined feel, choose the new model, and if you like the retro feel, choose the old model. Purewatches’ suggestion is: if it is mainly for daily wear, the new style is more coordinated; if you are pursuing a classic replica feel, the old style is more tasteful.

8. Buying Suggestions: Who is suitable to buy?
If you like the unique color matching of Green Jindi, but feel that the premium of the original version is too high, then this V3 weighted version from VS Factory is indeed worth considering. It is not the kind of low-end product that is fake at first glance. It will not look shy for daily wear or gatherings with friends.
Especially the combination of Dandong 4131 movement + 184g counterweight + light gold case is currently the top configuration among replica Daytonas. Although there is still a slight gap from the original version, considering the appearance, movement, and wearing experience, it does deserve the title of “cost-effective replacement”.
The suggestion from purewatches is: If you pursue high restoration and stability, but don’t want to spend a lot of money to buy the original version, the VS Factory Green Jindi V3 weighted version is a reliable choice on the market. Before buying, it is recommended to find reliable channels and confirm the quality inspection details to avoid pitfalls.
