Real vs. replica: VS Factory new 3135 green/black Submariner SUB watch review

Comprehensive comparative analysis of Real Replica Comparison and Factory New 3135 Green Black Submariner Sub Watch Review models: Case finishes, movement precision, dial details and production tolerances are examined in detail with Saat Dedektifi expertise standards.

VS's new 3135 Rolex Submariner SUB model has been developed based on the RXF version (those who are interested can check out the detailed review of the RXF version) and the details have been further refined. Let me first list the points that everyone is curious about and that I can explain to you clearly:

1. The color of the lume dots is closer to the texture of the original. The glass above the lume dots is sapphire glass.

2. The plating color of the ceramic bezel markers was made in a brighter silver tone, referencing the color of the new original bezel. Since most versions on the market are produced by taking a used or old original sample to the factory, the ceramic bezel coating color is silver gray.

3. VS's original hands with hour, minute and seconds hands

It joins at a clean and clear right angle where the circular part and the square hand body meet. In other versions on the market, the rotation points of the hands meet in the form of an arc, the difference is especially evident in the seconds hand. Moreover, most of them are not real solid pointer shafts. This is a point that must be considered when distinguishing between real and replica.

4. The following is achieved between the case of the VS and the end link of the bracelet: when viewed from the side, there is a step and all four ears have the same step effect, but when viewed from the front, there is no gap. From now on, you will not have to worry about eliminating one by one when buying and selling VS Submariner. This is a basic standard.

5. The VS version has processed the winding crown exactly following the original. The teeth of the crown are distinct and sharp, yet they do not sting the hand.

6. Since the spring bars of the VS version are molded according to the original, they can be used interchangeably with the original. The details of the steel bracelet end piece are the same as the original: sandblasted, followed by text and logo engraving.

7. The details on the inside of the case lugs are the same as the original:a vertical brushing pattern is engraved and the text is engraved.

8. Steel bracelet of VS version; By using imported sandpaper and increasing the number of brushings, the brushing pattern has been made closer to the texture of the original: clear, fine and flawless.

9. Chamfering on the steel bracelet of the VS version was done on site; It is comfortable when worn, there is no foreign body feeling.

10. The hardness of the VS buckle has been adjusted according to the original. It feels both easy and full when opening; There is a slight damping feeling when closing. Quality is assured: within three years, if the small crown logo on the buckle falls off for a reason not caused by the user, VS after-sales service will replace the buckle with a new one free of charge.

11. VS's new 3135 version carries VS3135 one-piece movement, which is the latest development of VS and designed completely from scratch. It's not one of those old, modified 3135 movements on the market. Replica 3135 changes the history of movements, which are associated with poor workmanship and unstable quality.

…

1. The color of the lume dots is closer to the texture of the original. The glass above the lume dots is sapphire glass.

We put VS's new 3135 side by side with the original and captured the 'lume dot' detail; Are you satisfied with this texture?

VS has moved forward once again, building on the RXF version; overall color and texture better, original lume

It recaptures that clear, sparkling feeling of the dots. That thin clear layer above the lume dots is actually a piece of sapphire glass.

2. VS referenced the color of the new original bezel: shiny silver. All versions on the market are silver grey.

Why did some enthusiasts previously think that the text color of the ceramic bezel should be brighter silver, while others argued that it should be more silver gray?

Because some enthusiasts were using a new original for comparison, while others were using a used/old original; Different criteria produce different results. Since all the versions on the market are produced using a used/old original sample, the writings are made in silver gray and darken over time. VS's ceramic bezel lettering color is currently the only version that gets this right. Everyone can reference the color of the last purchased 41mm original. You will see, soon some versions on the market will also start to upgrade the ceramic bezel coating color to this shiny silver tone, following VS.

Let me share a watch enthusiast experience here. The plating color of the used original bezel darkens over time and appears silver gray. But this color change is reversible. So, if you think that the silver gray looks old, you can take your watch to a repairman and have a little maintenance (spa) done by the master for a fee of around XXX; After cleaning, the coating color turns to bright silver, as if it were new. (Good prices always come from this cleaning when selling second-hand watches or second-hand cars; watches can actually be washed.) Those who have an ultrasonic cleaning device at home can also put it in and clean it, but the effect is a little more ordinary. The VS's ceramic bezel color is also reversible; The same method applies here as well.

3. The VS version has a truly solid needle shaft; The hands are currently the only version that truly matches the original. This is the truth, no exaggeration.

A while ago, the versions on the market began to announce one after another that they had switched to a solid needle shaft. Some versions falsely promote; It appears in the promotional images but does not appear in the product, as everyone calls it a 'text factory'. Some versions have a decorative hand spindle (you can look at the seconds hand of the market version in the image above, here is the fake decorative hand spindle).

The VS has a really solid hand shaft (you can look at the seconds hand of the VS version in the image above).

In fact, the difference in the external appearance of the hands is much more noticeable, compared to the solid hand shaft detail that the versions on the market exaggerate (which cannot be seen clearly without magnification). This is a point where you can directly distinguish between real and replica with the naked eye, without the need for any magnification.

This is a problem that has been present in the needles of all versions on the market for more than ten years, whether from large or small factories.

The hands of the VS and the original hands: meet at a clean and clear right angle where the circular part meets the square hand body,

In other versions on the market, the rotation points of the hands meet in the form of an arc, the difference is especially noticeable in the seconds hand.

4. The following is achieved between the case of the VS and the bracelet end piece: when viewed from the side, there is a step, when viewed from the front, there is no gap.

From now on, you will not have to worry about eliminating one by one when buying and selling VS Submariner. This is the most basic standard.

In many versions on the market, if you look carefully, there is often a height difference between the four lugs of the mass-produced case and the steel bracelet end piece; In fact, the end piece is higher than the case lug, and in some of them, a huge gap that allows light to pass through can even be seen. The VS case provides the following: there are steps when viewed from the side, but there is no gap when viewed from the front. Moreover, there is the same tapping effect in all four ears.

5. The VS version machined the crown in place and perfectly. The teeth of the crown are distinct and sharp, yet they do not sting the hand.

6. Since the spring bars of the VS version are molded according to the original, they can be used interchangeably with the original.

The details of the steel bracelet end piece are the same as the original: sandblasted, text and logo engraved.

Since the spring bars of VS's new 3135 version are molded according to the original, they can be used interchangeably with the original.

The details of the steel bracelet end piece of VS are the same as the original: sandblasted, followed by text and logo engraving.

7. The details on the inside of the case lugs are the same as the original: the vertical brushing pattern is engraved and the text is engraved.

This area on the inside of the case lugs is a place you cannot normally see because it is covered by the steel bracelet.

The VS version has meticulously processed this detail: a vertical brushing pattern is made, then the text is engraved. Every detail, every aspect has been carefully crafted.

8. The brushing pattern on the steel bracelet of the VS version is processed closer to the texture of the original; clear, subtle and complete.

The quality of the brushing detail on the surface of the steel bracelet directly affects the overall texture of the watch.

On the steel bracelet of the VS version, the brushing pattern was made closer to the texture of the original by using imported sandpaper and increasing the number of brushings; The pattern is clear, fine and complete.

The criterion of everything is the original. Evaluating not by impression but by comparison with the original gives the truth.

9. The steel bracelet of the VS version has carefully machined chamfers; Easy to use, no stinging feeling.

If the brushing on the surface of the steel bracelet affects the overall texture of the watch, whether the edges and corners of the bracelet are well processed or not.

It affects whether it will be comfortable to use and whether it will sting the hand or not.

The edges and corners of the VS steel bracelet are carefully processed; Comfortable when the wrist moves, no stinging feeling. To see the workmanship of the bracelet edges, you can see it clearly when the light is reflected from the side as in the image above; Did you learn?

10. The hardness of the VS buckle has been adjusted according to the original. It is easy but firm when opening, and gives a slight feeling of resistance when closing.

The buckles of the versions on the market either work too loosely and loosely when opening and closing, or they are too tight; It's so tight that you can't open it, you hurt your nail trying to open it.

According to VS, we come into most daily contact with the feel and hardness of the steel bracelet clasp when opening and closing, compared to other parts; We open and close the buckle several times every day, so the feel and hardness of the buckle is a very important point of experience for everyone.

VS worked on the hardness and adjusted the buckle according to the original. It is easy to open but firm, and there is a slight feeling of resistance when closing. We tried to capture as much of the feel and harshness of the original as possible.

VS guarantees quality. With many versions on the market, annoying situations such as the small crown on the steel bracelet clasp falling off a few months after the water ghost is newly purchased are often heard. What is even more unacceptable is that the consumer still pays the price for this product quality problem; having to spend XXX for a new buckle.

Within three years, if the small crown falls off unintentionally, VS after-sales service will replace the buckle with a new one free of charge.

Finally, I would like to finish the article by talking about the date disk self-protection feature of the VS new 3135 mechanism.

Date issues are the reason many watches are returned to the factory. Some of these are caused by the date disc gear or date setting gear getting jammed and deformed as a result of the consumer being careless when setting the date; This causes problems such as the date not being set, skipping, or not displaying correctly.

In order to reduce the failure rate of the date disk, the date disk self-protection feature was designed in the VS new 3135 mechanism.

After quick date setting is done, the date cannot be quick set in the second stage when the hour hand is between 0-8. This prevents the date disc gear or date setting gear from getting stuck and deformed. First, simply turn the hour hand past eight, then turn it back; You can quickly adjust the date as normal in the second level, within the range of 0-8 (all 24 hours).

I hope this article helps you.
