How does the VS Factory Omega Deep Black compare to the original?

The thing that watch lovers are most curious about when reviewing replica watches is the similarity of the watch to the original. Among the replica watches, VS Factory is the version with the best workmanship and the one that matches the original at the highest level. Because this watch has been brought as close as possible to the original in terms of both materials and mechanism functions. Of course, when compared to the original, it does not fall into that embarrassing situation that makes it seem fake at first glance. So what does fake mean at first glance? Mold openings that are not even in the original mean molds with terrible workmanship. However, VS Factory production workmanship has won the appreciation of countless watch lovers; Of course, the public's eyes are also sharp. Let's make a brief comparison of the watch in general details below!

When you look at the VS Factory Omega Deep Black from the front, it is almost impossible to tell the two apart; A point so similar to the real thing has been reached. Ceramic is a very light material; Since VS produces each piece with exact fidelity to the original, the weights are basically the same. If you find steel watches too heavy to wear, ceramic material will be a good option. The front glass of VS Deep Black uses double-sided anti-reflective, scratch-resistant dome-shaped sapphire glass; In the hardness test, it reaches level 9 on the Mohs hardness scale (diamond is at level 10), which is a very costly choice. The hour markers on the bezel are clearly visible; The marking spacing and the serrated ring design on the bezel edge are also quite special. When viewed from the side, the spacing and depth of the serrated ring are very close to the original. The machining of the original's serration chamfer is extremely rounded; VS is a little behind in this detail.

On the VS Factory Omega Deep Black, the Zr02 engraving on the ceramic dial surface is clearly visible. The dial surface is made of ceramic material, the same as the original; ceramic dial is 3 times expensive than ordinary brass plate dial. By again choosing the high-cost ceramic surface, VS guarantees the brightness and flatness of the dial and perfectly reflects the standard that a high-end replica should have. The watch has a large four-hour-minute hand design; According to the big three needles, a GMT function is also added. The order of the needles from top to bottom is seconds, minutes, hours and GMT hands respectively and is exactly the same as the original; The needles can be replaced with the original without any problems. Double-sided coated dome-shaped sapphire glass was used as glass; clear and bright.

Viewed from the side, the VS Factory Omega Deep Black retains the original 17 mm thickness. The difference of 0.06 mm in the photo below is within the normal tolerance range; It is the thickness of the mechanism that determines the overall thickness. This is thanks to VS's replica Omega Caliber 8906 movement. The lug lines on the side of the case are very close; Even the VS details on the part covered by the strap connection have not been neglected, vertical sandblasted ceramic brushing has been applied in the same way as the original, and a fine texture is felt. What we are used to is brushing on steel; It is relatively rare to see brushing of this fineness on ceramics. The crown caps at 10 o'clock and 3 o'clock have a black ceramic shine; The "HE" helium evacuation logo and Omega's iconic resistance logo are engraved in the middle.

The case back of Deep Black breaks new ground with the groundbreaking Naiad case back structure technology. Not many people know what Naiad technology is; In fact, it is a technique that ensures that the writings on the case always remain in the same position after the case back is locked tightly. Moreover, turning the case back becomes much simpler and more practical.

Although it seems like a very simple design improvement, in reality it is not that easy to achieve. Since it was very difficult to machine the interior of the case, it was necessary to make the case back, which could be locked in one move, in the same way as the original, and also to guarantee 100 percent water resistance. Moreover, since this model is made of ceramic material, the processing difficulty is much higher than that of metal material and the waste rate is extremely high. During the processing process, in the final waterproofing test, more than 60 percent of the parts could not be sealed and waterproofed because the precision was insufficient, and these parts were wasted. For nearly half a year, the technical team constantly tried, struggled and overcame difficulties! In the end, VS insisted on a 1:1 replica of the original structure, resulting in the Naiad case structure, which is identical to the original today.

The similarity of the VS integrated mechanism with the original is over 98 percent; Whether it is the screw holes, stone positions or functions, they are all the same. It has been accepted in the market as a special mechanism that keeps time consistently and is of reliable quality. Some watch friends state that there is an extra forward-backward adjustment needle, that is, a time error adjustment weight, on the balance wheel of the VS mechanism. In fact, it is technically possible to produce the single-needle structure in the same way as the original. However, a replica watch is a replica watch; Its aim is for many people who love watches to experience the satisfaction and pleasure of a replica that is infinitely close to the original, for a little money. It is not about chasing to be indistinguishable from the real thing without any limits or committing fraud by selling a replica watch as original. VS is strictly against such behavior; every extreme is reversed.

The strap of the VS Factory Omega Deep Black is a one-piece draped natural woven textured rubber strap. Only the mold opening cost reaches XXX; VS spared no expense to achieve the same result as the original. Considering that the strap is the soul of a watch, the entire strap is made of natural full rubber material; It is not one of the straps on the market with a fabric side and rubber or silicone bottom. VS produces full rubber straps identical to the original; Whether in terms of suit comfort or daily water contact, VS's full rubber strap offers a very good experience. The VS buckle is the same structure as the original; It can indeed be replaced with the original. Ceramic titanium folding buckle structure is used, even the buttons are ceramic.

VS lume has always been appreciated by watch enthusiasts; VS has been using imported Swiss super powerful lume from the beginning. Therefore, in photographs taken in the dark, the lume dot on the minute hand glows green, while all other needles and hour markers emit blue lume. Brightness and permanence are infinitely close to the original.

Is VS Factory Omega Deep Black fake at first glance?

What really determines whether a watch is fake or not at first glance is its external appearance; The first thing that catches your eye is always the appearance. We will discuss the issue about the VS Factory Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean 600 Deep Black here and clear the question marks in the minds of watch lovers. So, will this be a fake watch at first glance, as some watch friends say? Below, let's examine in detail what technology VS Factory Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean Deep Black actually has and why it is considered a closing work by VS Factory. Omega Deep Black is not only produced by VS Factory in the industry, other factories also produce it; However, the material they use is PVD coating, that is, a version with a layer of black paint on the steel case. As everyone knows, no matter how good the coating is, it oxidizes and changes color over time; Poor coating may even fall off in pieces. But VS Factory doesn't do that; It uses completely black ceramics, which is extremely admirable. The full ceramic case set introduced by VS can completely eliminate all the problems seen in coated cases. There are no problems such as oxidation, color change, or discoloration as a result of sweat corrosion in high hardness matte black ceramic; Moreover, it also withstands normal daily friction. Even if you move the metal screwdriver back and forth on the case, no scratches occur. For daily maintenance, just wipe it with a damp cloth and it will be like the first day again.

The one-piece molded black ceramic bezel strengthens the waterproof performance; It has a fine black glossy texture with brushing applied on the side. The workmanship of the crown's triangular groove pattern is spot on; There is a helium release valve at the 10 o'clock position. The ears are finely crafted; Every angle and every curve has been studied. At the back, VS has once again pushed the envelope by going beyond the ordinary; Ceramic is also used on the case back. Another is the new caseback locking method; When you close it and move it slightly, you can lock the entire case back and its water resistance is very strong. The movement is again VS's 8500 movement; Only the mechanism model on the rotor has been changed to 8906. The entire structure in the mechanism bridge is real; All of them, including the shock absorbers and bearing stones, are really functional, not ornamental. This is the first double T-type shock absorber in domestic watch history; A gradual adjustment system is used for error adjustment, the balance weights on the balance wheel serve only as decoration. Currently, domestic technology is not at a level that can reach stepless adjustment.

In summary, the exterior workmanship of the VS Factory Seamaster 600 Deep Black is extremely appropriate; At first glance, there is absolutely no possibility that it is fake. If there is something missing, it is the mechanism. Although VS Factory uses the industry's most advanced integrated replica mechanism, there is a difference in error adjustment compared to Omega's original self-produced mechanism. The original uses stepless adjustment; In replica watches, this technology has not yet been surpassed. But this is a very small difference; You'll never notice the original unless you hold it in your hand and compare it carefully. So far, it has been over a year since the VS Factory Deep Black has been produced; It has stood the test of time and the chances of both the appearance wearing out and the movement failing are extremely low. It is truly a product that has been worked on.

Summary: Today we briefly examined VS Factory Omega Deep Black in details. The watch in general has avoided the embarrassment of being fake at first glance compared to the original; VS Factory has met the original at the highest level with its exact mold opening this time. Friends who like this watch can buy it with peace of mind. Thank you all for your reviews!
