VS Factory Rolex Daytona Tiffany Blue, Dandong 4131 movement, 137 g weight: how is the workmanship?

The Rolex Daytona 4131 model is produced by VS Factory with a high-tech ceramic case, standard case diameter and 7750 automatic chronograph 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.

Dial and Hand Details

Other factories had previously released Tiffany blue dials on the market, but frankly, there were not many that satisfied me. This time VS came later and took the lead; directly released the fully equipped V2 weight-balanced version. Let's see whether this watch is worth buying. First of all, let me say this: VS's new Daytona series chassis is now improved; this light gold tone is now much closer to the color of the original. The body color of Yu Wenle's Daytona was also improved in the same way. The gold on VS's Yu Wenle Daytona used to be a bit yellowish. Now, after this color was developed, there is almost no color difference, it is a color that matches the original very well. Then, some other models will, in turn, switch to this original color.

Case and Body Workmanship

The case color has been improved: the light gold tone finally matches the original
Let me talk about the most noticeable change first. This time, VS Factory adjusted the color of the gold case; It has gone from the bright gold that used to be yellowish to a light gold tone closer to the original. This improvement is no small thing; Experts know that the gold color of the early VS Yu Wenle Daytona and the gold rubber strap model was a little yellowish, when put side by side with the original, the color difference was quite obvious.

There is almost no color difference in this current light gold tone. A soft, warm golden color when viewed under the sun; It neither bothers the eyes nor looks cheap. It is said that the next gold models of VS will also switch to this color in turn; This is good news for watch lovers looking for high similarity.

Dial details: Tiffany blue, very accurately made

The biggest selling point of this watch is its Tiffany blue dial. VS used a matte textured blue; The color has been adjusted quite well, there is almost no noticeable color difference compared to the original. In some equivalent dials on the market or in the Tiffany blue of other factories, the color is either green or dark, which can be seen at a glance as wrong. This blue from VS is one of the most accurately done among the current replicas.

The radial engraving of the CD pattern on the three small dials is also very fine. The center shaft of the hour and minute hands is also full; The writings inside are also very clear. There are almost no flaws in terms of the front end; It is also a weight-balanced model, the weight of the entire watch is around 137 grams.

The radial engraving of the CD pattern on the three small dials is very fine; There are slight brightness changes as the light rotates, it's not like that dull solid color. The central shaft of the hour and minute hands is solid, not a hollow tube; Many small factories steal from quality in this detail. The writings inside are also very clear; no blurring or paint bleed.

The print of the red "DAYTONA" text is full, the color is correct and does not fade. The relief effect of the hour markers is very strong, the edge cuts are clean, and no burrs can be felt when touched. In general, almost no flaws can be found on the front.

Three buttons on the top right: after the safety is loosened, pressing the two buttons on the top starts and stops the chronograph, and the one on the bottom right resets it. As the chronograph large seconds hand rotates one revolution, the two smaller dials at the top rotate accordingly. If you see the small seconds hand moving continuously, it means that the mainspring power is sufficient.

There is a very important detail: when you pull the large crown in the middle and set the time, the chronograph function stops. This is the same as the original. But if the inside is the "deck" mechanism or the old 7750, the chronograph seconds hand rotates constantly and does not stop. This small detail is often the point that best distinguishes the class of the movement.

Movement and Caliber Performance

Movement: Dandong 4131, roof of Daytona replicas
On the mechanism side, VS used the Dandong 4131 mechanism. Frankly, in the Daytona replica space, 4131 is the current top-of-the-line configuration. VS Factory always insists on Dandong mechanism; There is nothing to criticize about this.

It is very simple to use: turn the crown directly up to wind the mainspring, pull it one step to the right to set the time; When you turn it forward it goes forward, when you turn it back it goes backwards. There is no difference between 4130 and 4131 in external use; The main difference is in the carving and engraving details that appear when the cover is opened, their functions are exactly the same.

Back and weight: a small shortcoming but acceptable
There is an elephant sticker and the VS Factory logo on the back of the case. AU750 engraving is quite deep and its clarity is high. The case is completely in line with the original; The marking colors of the ceramic bezel are also very appropriate, and it even comes with a protective film attached to it when leaving the factory.

The weight of the entire watch is only around 136-137 grams, whereas the original weighs over 150 grams. Even though VS has made a weight balance and the feeling of fullness in the hand has become prestige, there is still a weight difference. This is considered a minor shortcoming at present; but it does not have much effect in terms of daily use.

Strap, Buckle and Comfort

Strap and buckle: slideable design is very useful
Fluoro rubber strap, gold is standard equipment of the Daytona. Metal steel strip has been added inside the new belt of VS; Its softness is quite good, it does not feel hard in the hand, it fits very well.

Most worth mentioning is the new buckle. On the old Yu Wenle Daytona and gold rubber strap, the buckles were fixed, the length could not be adjusted. But in this newly released Tiffany blue model, a quick slide feature has been added to the buckle; It can be shifted within a range of approximately 2-3 centimeters. This enhancement is very useful! When your wrist gets a little swollen in the summer or when you wear thick clothes in the winter, you can fine-adjust the strap length without using tools.

The feel of the buckle in the hand is also good; Opening and closing is smooth, there is no feeling of snagging or looseness. The code inside is 7CD; There are also must-have precious metal logos. But there is a warning: buckle codes change frequently now, it is not realistic to try to understand which factory it is by looking at the code. However, VS has done a really solid job on details such as the feel of the buckle in the hand and the workmanship.

The buckle on the early V1 version had discoloration issues; several customers reported this. This problem should be solved in the V2 version; No similar feedback has been received so far.
