Comparison between 3S Factory Omega De Ville Bright Blue and VS Factory

Comprehensive comparative analysis of 3S Factory Omega De Ville Bright Blue With and Factory models: Case finishes, movement precision, dial details and production tolerances are examined in detail with Saat Detective expertise standards.

3S Factory Omega De Ville Bright Blue is considered one of the distinctive watches of the De Ville family. The most challenging aspect of this Bright Blue model in terms of workmanship is the color tone of the dial; What many factories make is either too dark or too light. The radial pattern on the dial of 3S Factory is very close to the original, with no notable flaws. Each hour marker on the dial is produced separately with CNC machining technique; The V-shaped hollow channel at the lower end fits into the minute ring without a gap, and the trace of the ring is fully compatible with the movement trajectory of the hour and minute hands.

Case and Body Workmanship

316 stainless steel case has gone through 3S Factory CNC machining and fine polishing. Case size is 41 mm, suitable for the wrists of most watch lovers. The metal on both sides is brushed, while the engraving in the middle is polished; This gives the watch a more layered look as a whole. 3S Factory's bright blue date window frame is the same as the original. The hour and minute hands are machined at 3S Factory to the same cutting and drawing level as the original; However, there is a slight tendency towards curvature at the tip of the hour and minute hands! The 8500 movement is adjusted clockwise in accordance with the original. The movement is the 8500 mechanical movement independently developed and designed by 3S Factory; Each one has a clockwise adjustment function, its outer appearance is the same as the original, its function is also the same.

Movement and Caliber Performance

It is worth noting that 3S Factory's Bright Blue is an 8500 caliber converted from the 2824 Seagull caliber; VS Factory, on the other hand, uses the replica 8500 one-piece (integrated) movement. There is no difference between the two in terms of timekeeping quality. The main issue is that this factory did not add the date quickset feature and there are some defects in the shock absorber of the movement. Of course, these are not big problems and can generally be ignored; After all, watches with exhibition backs have more or less flaws in the replica industry. Fortunately, 3S Factory cares about price/performance; The price is about a thousand cheaper than VS Factory. So I think it's pretty good and worth buying. Of course, if you are passionate about VS Factory's reputation, it is also a good option.
