VS Factory Rolex Day-Date DD double calendar, 182g weight, black caramel and smoky green, how is the craftsmanship of the 3255 movement?

The Rolex Day-Date 3255 model is produced by VS Factory with an 18K thick gold-plated case, standard case diameter and 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 has two versions; There was a previous V1 version. The V1 version weighed 148 grams, meaning it was weightless. But it was a very affordable model in terms of price; The predominant one is a little more expensive. So how is VS gold DD made? From the moment I first held it in my hands, it is really well made when you look at it from a normal social distance. As for the color, it is golden, but it is not a yellow gold tone, it is a little closer to white. It is not as yellow as yellow gold; If it was too yellow it wouldn't match the original. In this state, its appearance is quite consistent with the original, a little more white.

Dial and Hand Details

The color transition of the dial in this smoky green model is also done very well. The outer part of the dial is black, which then gives a gradual transition effect towards green. This becomes more obvious when we look at it in the light; It looks even clearer under light, especially in sunlight. There is a gradual transition effect on the dial; When you look at it from the front, it feels like black, that is, black-green. When you look at it from an oblique angle, it looks more green. The oil-based print on the side is also made with a three-dimensional effect, it is also golden in color. Same here; The middle shaft of the hour and minute hands was also machined, but the corner cutting on this middle shaft is not very good, and the processing is not that round.

The middle shaft is also solid; The middle shaft of the hour and minute hands has a corner cut, there is a single cut in the middle, and both sides are inclined, this is done correctly. There is a cut like this at the tip; It is processed after cutting so that its appearance is not too rough or rough. The hour markers are also very carefully made, all of them have corner cuts. The beveled corners of the signs run down both sides and are all chamfered.

Movement and Caliber Performance

The date is also pretty centered; In Dandong's 3255 movement, the date window is always centered nicely. The coding inside starts with 52. The serrated structure of the bezel is also very shiny; It looks extremely sparkly when you look at it from different angles. As for the movement, Dandong's 3255 caliber is used in all of them. This mechanism is extremely stable, there is no need to say much. The power reserve can reach 70 hours; In this form, it is better than Shanghai's mechanism and closer to the original. Because many parts of this model are interchangeably compatible with the original, this is only partially possible with Shanghai's mechanism.

General Evaluation and Conclusion

In general, VS's newly released dual calendar DD watch continues the existing white version by adding two color options: smoky green and gradual green-gold; It stands out with its lightweight design and high price-performance. The workmanship of the product is fine; Its gold engraving, oil-based printing, three-dimensional hour and minute hands, and clearly engraved inscriptions reveal high-quality detail workmanship. This update not only enriches the color options, but also has been carefully improved in terms of materials, movement performance and usage experience.
