Is the VS Factory Rolex 41 green water ghost the best version with Dandong 3235 movement?

The Rolex Submariner model is produced by VS Factory with a solid 904L stainless steel case, 41 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.

One of the factories that does its job well in the market is VS Factory. They also make the 40 mm green water ghost well, they use Dandong's 3135 movement as the movement. But I much prefer VS Factory's 41 green water ghost; because its mechanism is better made than the 40 version. The power reserve of the 40mm model can only reach around 40 hours; VS Factory 41 green water ghost can reach 70 hours of power reserve with Dandong's 3235 movement. This means that this mechanism retains power longer than the second generation. The stability of the two movements is close to each other, but the third generation lasts longer than the second generation in terms of power reserve; The working and engravings of the mechanism are also finer in every respect. In fact, many people know that the Dandong mechanism is currently the best among its counterparts on the market.

Now let's see how the exterior of VS Factory's 41 mm version is made. Because many people say that the appearance is not as good as C; Actually it is not like that, I find its texture quite successful. For VS Factory's water ghost, I generally recommend VS, because its lume is more accurate than C. C's lume is a bit yellow, that liquid feels too yellow; So at a glance I know it's a Clean. In VS, the lume looks like a liquid white color to me.

Case and Body Workmanship

In terms of workmanship and quality control, the bezel is also in this green color; The side of the 41 hour glass is black, only the bezel is green. I think this emerald green is set quite right. Again, that C type bezel is used and its color is almost the same as the Clean, both of them are true to the original. In fact, there is no such thing as which of the two factories is better or worse; In terms of appearance, they are both close to each other, both are very well made. Because Clean has been doing this job for many years, it has basically improved the areas that need improvement. But when it comes to the mechanism, it's definitely better made than the VS.

Dial and Hand Details

The dial is also very cleanly made; The lume filling of those metal-framed hour markers is also very smooth. Each lume fill is embedded inside. When you look at it now, it's not flat, it's not very plump; This is how it's done right. There's a slight matte, icy feel to the Lume filling; When you look at it, it looks like it's a little dirty, but it's not actually like that, its design is like that. If it were too white it would definitely not be true to form. Since it has a matte feel, it gives a slightly blackish impression. When you look at it this way, it becomes more obvious; Normally, when we hold it in our hands and enlarge it, it looks clearer. The lume filling of the hour and minute hands is also quite smooth; When viewed from the side, the hour and minute hands look quite full and you cannot find any burrs.

The dial details are also very well done; The center shaft is also beautifully machined, all of them are treated like this. All 5 tips on the crown are made with very rounded lines; When viewed from the side, there is a feeling of depth and three-dimensionality. There's also an oil-based print here. The curved protruding part of the dial is also made in this way. There is also a small anti-counterfeiting crown at position 6; We can see it by looking at it from the side, it is clearer when we look at it that way. The serrated bezel edge is also very well done; a serrated frame with this kind of brushed middle. His voice is quite full and clear; When you turn it, it turns very smoothly, not too tight. Normally, setting it to level 12 is enough.

As for the case, it is 904L stainless steel. Actually, there is no need to say much about the safe, I have mentioned it many times before; All brushed. The gap where it meets the case body is also made perfectly. There is also a gap in the middle of the buckle; When you open it, the inside is matte. It's one piece with that little crown buckle, it's not welded. The engravings inside, all the engravings that should be there are present. The case back is also brushed and polished; The bottom part is also brushed. So how do we distinguish whether it is VS or not? Normally we wind: when we receive the watch, we wind it more than 40 turns, then leave it alone. If the power reserve reaches around 70 hours, it is definitely a VS. In other factories, when you left it for 50 hours it definitely stopped; If it stopped in 50-odd hours, it's definitely not a VS. So it is quite easy to distinguish from this point.

I hope this article will be useful to you. I will share more detailed disassembly, real shot review and real-replica comparison in the coming days.
