VS Factory GMT-Master Pepsi

The Rolex GMT-Master II model is produced by VS Factory with a high-tech ceramic case, standard case diameter and Dandong 3235 Clone 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.

Movement and Caliber Performance

I'm very curious about one thing: How did VS Factory obtain the Dandong 3285 movement? You know, this mechanism was previously only used by Clean. Is there an agreement between VS and Clean? Rumor has it that Clean will soon use the Dandong 3235 movement.

Here are photos of VS's GMT-Master II Pepsi model.

Here are the comparison photos between VS and Clean; The watch on the left is from VS, the one on the right is from Clean.

The GMT hour hand has a different color. The GMT hour hand on the Clean Factory has a darker red than the one on the VS. VS claims that its GMT hands have a red that is closer to the color of the original watch.

In the Clean watch on the right, the glass is slightly higher than the glass in the VS watch on the left. It looks like the Clean uses a thicker sapphire glass. The glass in the VS has a higher transparency.

Dial and Hand Details

I don't know if it's due to the higher transparency on the VS watch, but the prints on the VS dial appear whiter than on the Clean watch.

The central axis of the hour and minute hands on the VS resembles a cap and has a plump structure.

This is the axis in Clean.

So, which factory makes a better hour-minute hand axis, do you think? I think VS does better.

However, I found a burr on the second hand of the VS watch. I could not find this problem in the hands of the Clean watch. Clean has a very good polish work on the hands.

The workmanship on the hands of the Clean watch.

On the left is the VS clock, on the right is the Clean clock. I noticed that the gap between the crown and the case is larger on the VS watch. VS Factory also claims to get this right.

I did not notice any difference in other parts of the watch. Both watches use V3 ceramic bezels and this is the same in the VS and the Clean. Both factories use the same mechanism.
