VS Factory Platinum Yacht-Master 42 mm 3235 Special Production Integrated Movement Rolex 226659 Workmanship Review

The Rolex Yacht-Master model is produced by VS Factory with a solid 904L stainless steel case, 42 mm diameter and a high-precision automatic Super 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.

VS Factory isn't the first to release this Platinum Yacht-Master. WF Factory released it first, followed by TW Factory. These two factories are second-class producers; The versions they make do not match the original, and the detail work is not sufficient. That's why I haven't suggested it to you until now; Manageable versions. The good thing is that their prices are affordable and their price-performance is high. There are many descriptive articles about VS Factory Platinum Yacht-Master on the internet, but most of them are the same; I don't think there is any point in copying the factory's promotional text as is. Today, he will mostly focus on the issues you are curious about, such as the workmanship details and mechanism of the VS Factory Platinum Yacht-Master, as well as how to distinguish and verify it.

First of all, let me briefly introduce the general condition of this Platinum Yacht-Master from VS Factory. Case diameter is 42 mm, thickness is 11.7 mm. The material of the original in the display case is the precious metal platinum; VS Factory uses 904L stainless steel, as you can probably tell. The price of the original in the showcase is around 220 thousand, while in Abi it is even less than three thousand. If you are not serious, do not disturb, thank you for your cooperation.

VS Factory leaves the factory with the same acrylic shipping packaging, label and warranty card as in the display case; The three codes are compatible with each other. In fact, just by looking at this detail, you can understand whether the Yacht-Master is produced by VS Factory or not, it is the only one on the market. Now let's see what the details of VS Factory Yacht-Master are like.

Case and Body Workmanship

The bidirectional rotatable ceramic bezel and embossed hour markers are produced by firing in a single piece. The surface of the ceramic number signs is also polished, the texture is fully full; You don't have to worry about problems such as discoloration, even if you grind it into powder, the inside is black. The advantage of ceramics is its high hardness; It is scratch and abrasion resistant, ensuring that the watch remains as bright as the first day for a long time.

Due to the influence of the Submariner, the solid center shaft has now become standard. The edges and corners of the hour markers at six and nine and the large triangular hour marker have been softened, which is in line with the original; It is not flat and pointed like in other factories. The dome glass also gives the same effect as the original; When viewed from the front, the coating is not visible, when viewed from the side, the coating is visible, it is extremely clear. Other factories either do not coat at all or coat too much blue, making it difficult to see the date clearly. Date font size is the same as the original; The size of the text and number prints on the entire dial also corresponds to the original. There are no serious flaws in terms of appearance.

Strap, Buckle and Comfort

The VS Factory Platinum Yacht-Master has only one rubber strap. The rubber strap, unlike the steel bracelet, has a limited adjustment range; Suitable for wrists between 16-19 mm, does not fit those with very thin or very thick wrists. Since the ear width is a special measurement of 21 mm, it is not easy to find rubber straps.

Movement and Caliber Performance

The mechanism is the 3235 integrated mechanism produced by the VS Factory factory itself; It is definitely not a modified version of 3135, nor is it the fake 3235 movements on the market. Date and time setting direction is the same as the original. Most importantly, the date setting is independent of the time; You can set the date at any time you want. Be sure to keep this in mind: when you advance the date, you can also set it back, it is unique in the market, other factories cannot do this. There is also the issue of power storage of the mechanism; The power reserve of the original 3235 movement is 72 hours, I personally tested the power reserve of this 3235 movement from VS Factory, it is basically the same.

Summary: There is nothing to criticize about this Platinum Yacht-Master from VS Factory, except that the material is not yet the same as the original due to cost constraints. VS Factory is extremely adept at making movements; He pioneered the integrated mechanism in replica watches and brought replica watch movements into a new era. Needless to say about its stability, it is a really good product; Watch friends who like it should not miss it. The platinum Yacht-Master is a little more modest than the rose gold Yacht-Master, but it does not have that upstart air. How would you choose?
