What has been improved in the V2 version of the MKS Factory Vacheron Constantin Traditionnelle 85180 series?

Vacheron Constantin Wristwatch 85180 model is produced by MKS Factory with a solid stainless steel case, 40 mm diameter and Miyota 9015 high frequency movement architecture. It is among the most successful 1:1 super clone watch reviews on the market, with its sapphire crystal AR coating glass, original case tolerances and detailed workmanship.

The V2 version of the MKS Vacheron Constantin Traditionnelle 85180 series is the best version as of now. As a completely new improved version, MKS purchased the latest original version without sparing cost, engraved the mold and reproduced the replica. Let me share the improvements this time here; Of course, the following developments have been officially confirmed by MKS Factory. Let me list them directly! Let me also point out this: many watch enthusiasts look at well-known sites such as watch forums when comparing with the original. However, these sites may not update the models on time, or may not even publish all models at all. Just because there is no model on this site does not mean that the replica watch is made randomly! Be sure to keep this in mind so that you do not make unnecessary beginner mistakes! Now let me share the improvements! Essentially, development has been made on the following four main topics! (The image below is the MKS Factory movement development comparison picture.)

First: The mold for the case was removed again; Thus, the current version has become much closer to the 2019 new model. So this is valid for the current MKS Factory improved version. Of course, on the original side, both new and old models coexist on the market now; just like the Rolex Submariner. Even after the new version was released, the old Submariner is still a hard watch to find. Although Traditionnelle is not as popular as Submariner, its popularity is still very high!

Second: The processing of the dial's stick hour markers has been improved; thus the details became much finer. Each dial bar is machined and produced after being cut with CNC, and then its leg is fixed to the dial surface using the spot welding technique. Thus, the traditional method of fixing with adhesive was abandoned; This ensures that there are no hole marks on the dial and the rods do not come out of place! Thanks to the meticulousness of MKS's watchmakers in this detail, the brightness and texture of the dial have been brought as close as possible to the original!

Third: A 1:1 mold was made again for the case; Compared to the V1 version, its thickness is thinner and its lines are more fluid. The curve of the ears is designed with ergonomic aesthetics, allowing every user to experience a more comfortable and fitted feeling on the wrist. Of course, this also corresponds to the newest original version!

Fourth: The movement is based on Citizen 9019, imitating Vacheron Constantin's own Cal.2450 movement. Compared to the V1 version, the working of the mechanism is brighter, the engravings are clearer and the texture has been taken to the next level! The rotor has been updated with a Maltese Cross design openwork rotor to match the store version. Pre-2019 versions used a flat plate rotor; In this improved version they have all been switched to an openwork design!

What flaws does the MKS Factory Vacheron Constantin Traditionnelle 85180 V2 version have?

I'll also share development comparison images with the original below!

As for the MKS factory, it is a factory that is very committed to its work in this sector. They mainly produce slim case watches and have gained fame with their IWC Mark series. When it comes to making watch molds, they reproduce the original to the highest possible level. They made two major improvements: The first was that they completely changed the mechanism of the watch. Because the thinnest among the local movements is the Seagull 2892, but the repair rate of this movement was a little high. That's why they switched all models to caliber 9015 (calibers 9018, 9019) and changed their name to MKS Factory! The second improvement was made on this Vacheron Constantin Traditionnelle model; Of course, in terms of detail, the changes in the mechanism stand out. This is a detail that anyone with open eyes can see; The rest are small details that can only be noticed by comparison. For example, many watch lovers ask: "Why does the GENEVE text on the dial have a dot above the letter E in some versions, but not in others?" In fact, this also corresponds to the design of the original. The 2014 model of the Traditionnelle series did not have this point; As for the version made by MKS Factory, two different versions were released at that time, because the factory had to meet everyone's common demand! Unscrupulous sellers who do not research the issue also defame MKS Factory and call it a "faulty version". Of course, drawing random conclusions without understanding the truth of the matter is not a very high-quality answer; MKS Factory needs to be given credit here! As for the improved version this time, the details are also much better. We talked about the improvements under four headings above; These developments were also made according to the most up-to-date original information and the original design has been reproduced to the highest possible level in terms of detail! The biggest attraction of a replica watch is that no matter what factory it is, the ultimate goal is to make a mold that gets closer to the original; At this point, the strong survive. The MKS Factory Traditionnelle series is currently the highest quality version in the replica market; Watch friends who like it can rate it!

The improved Vacheron Constantin Traditionnelle model is not much different from previous versions; What stands out in detail are the four main headings we mentioned above.

This time, the chassis has also been improved; Compared to the previous version, the thickness of the watch has been reduced, the case structure has become more rounded and the workmanship details are extremely successful. The logo and texture on the crown on the right side are also quite clear; This reveals MKS's watchmaking craftsmanship!

Sapphire glass is used as the glass in MKS Vacheron Constantin Traditionnelle 85180. Sapphire glass, in addition to having a scratch-resistant structure, gives the watch a clearer appearance and allows the watch to be read easily. The classic sword-type hour and minute hands, 18K rose gold hour markers placed on an elegant and shiny silver-white dial, the date window at 6 and the Maltese Cross symbol at 12 o'clock constitute the classic symbol of Vacheron Constantin Traditionnelle. The general details are extremely successful. The dial has also been improved in this improved version; There has been an improvement across the board, especially the stick hour markers!

The mechanism is the most important part this time. The movement of the MKS Vacheron Constantin Traditionnelle 85180 series is based on Citizen 9019, imitating Vacheron Constantin's own Cal.2450 movement. Compared to the V1 version, the working of the mechanism is brighter and the engravings are clearer; Of course, what stands out more is the change in the rotor of the mechanism. The current version uses an openwork rotor with a Maltese Cross design, which corresponds to the original new model from 2019 to date!

In addition, each movement of MKS Factory is subjected to multiple tests, from production and assembly to the completed watch; Thus, the stability of the mechanism is ensured and the total daily error margin is kept in the lowest range. The movement of the MKS Vacheron Constantin Traditionnelle 85180 series will bring a better using experience, more surprises and expectations to Vacheron Constantin fans around the world; Moreover, the repair rate is extremely low!
