How to distinguish VS Factory Rolex Datejust 41 mm, V2 version with Dandong 3235 movement?

The Rolex Datejust model is produced by VS Factory with an 18K thick gold-plated 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.

First, let me talk about how to distinguish the V2 version of VS. First, we look at the outer packaging; You probably also saw the statement VS published a few days ago. The first place to look is this outer packaging: it has an elephant sticker on it, that's point one. The second point is the warranty card that comes with it. The edges of this warranty card are gold; On many other cards on the market, these edges are white. Additionally, when ultraviolet light is shined on the back of the card, there is a slight fluorescent glow. This is a feature that distinguishes VS Factory production from other factories on the market.

But don't decide by looking at these alone, because these details are very simple. Packaging people can imitate these in a jiffy, so they don't really matter. The main thing is to look at the third point, namely the weight. The current VS Datejust is almost exactly the same as the original in terms of weight: approximately 133.5 grams.

Movement and Caliber Performance

As for the movement, VS uses the Dandong 3235 movement. Many watch lovers may not be able to distinguish it from the shutter release, that is, the mechanism image; Then look at the pull-out position of the crown, i.e. the adjustment level. In many other factories that imitate the mechanism of VS, this button is a little arc-shaped, slightly curved. Keep in mind that this part is flat, and when you pull the adjustment range out, this part moves, so there is a slight play up and down. This is the real VS Dandong 3235 movement. As for the balls in the bed, that is, seven stones or twenty-seven stones, it does not matter at all. Because VS now produces both and this has no effect on stability; operation and power storage are exactly the same. Some people use this as marketing material just because the new model has 27 balls; however it has no effect. Don't worry about this, because they currently produce both types. The most striking point is that the bezel is extremely shiny. White gold plating has been applied, and the dial color has also been optimized and improved. There is also a date window; The date font is very neat. If you look carefully, pay attention to the middle axis, these are the subtleties of VS.

When leaving the factory, there is now a VS sticker every hour; But that doesn't matter either, it's something that can be imitated instantly. If you look at the weight and mechanism, you can easily distinguish whether the watch is a real VS Factory production or not.
