VS Factory Rolex quality - Platinum Yacht-Master 3235 movement disassembly review

The Rolex Yacht-Master model is produced by VS Factory with a high-tech ceramic 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.

Currently, VS Factory has matured its technical competence regarding the 3135 movement; The black Submariner it released is the most perfect version on the market right now. According to the factory's inside sources, the brand new green Submariner will also be released at the end of this month; We will wait and see together. To expand the Rolex product range once again, VS Factory has released a Rolex platinum Yacht-Master replica, this time directly, which large factories do not replicate on the market. Factories such as AR and N, which are prominent in Rolex production, have not yet produced this model exactly; The reason for this is that the factories' technology regarding the 3235 movement is not mature enough. This time, VS will use the latest 3235 movement for the first time. Looking at VS's past movement craftsmanship, I personally really like this brand new special edition 3235 movement; After all, VS's self-developed mechanisms have always been very stable. At the same time, I took one from stock and disassembled VS Factory's newly released Rolex platinum Yacht-Master to verify the quality and stability of the 3235 movement; I have prepared a dismantling review for you, so you can get to know this Rolex platinum Yacht-Master better.

VS Factory Rolex platinum Yacht-Master teardown review

It is also the first time that Rolex uses a case made of precious metal; After repeated processing and adjustments to capture the exact color tone of the original, VS Factory was able to obtain a version that was closest to the original appearance. The two sides of the case and lugs reflect an elegant shine, just like the original, making the lines of the Oyster case more distinct and increasing its appeal many times over.

Black, bidirectional ceramic bezel; The one-piece cast ceramic outer bezel and ceramic numeral ring design is not only resistant to corrosion and scratches, but does not lose its color even when exposed to ultraviolet light. The relief numerals and hour markers were produced by ceramic casting method; The first 15 minutes of the digit ring are divided by minute markers, thus providing more precise time measurement. The outer serrated bezel is equally meticulously processed, each tooth being the same size.

Now let's look at the dial. The black lacquered surface is extremely shiny under light; The overall style of the dial belongs to Rolex's typical design, and this is the best way to recognize a Rolex watch. The large hour and minute hands and hour markers are coated with lume, so reading the time remains clear. Solid central axis, text printing is perfect; The date inscription at position 3 is smooth, without any burrs or roughness. Rolex's iconic small cyclops is placed on the 3rd position, making it easier to read the date.

The crown on the side has a screw-down crown design; It has a Triplock triple waterproof system like the original. Thanks to the gear design that prevents scratching, the date and time can be easily adjusted. The Rolex crown logo is engraved on the crown.

When the case back is opened, the information on it is quite complete and the engravings are clear.

Mechanism is VS Factory's strongest area; Whether in the previous Omega and Panerai models or in the 3135 movement of the latest VS Factory Submariner. This VS Factory latest level 3235 movement is completely replicated to the original; All dimensions, stones and screws have real function, not just for decoration like fake plate. The functions and date setting method are exactly the same as the original; This is the best 3235 movement at the moment!

The biggest breakthrough of the mechanism is that the model number is the same as the original and the functions are one to one. When putting the original 3235 caliber and VS Factory's 3235 caliber into the timegrapher, remember to set the lift angle to 59 degrees; Look at the data after running for 20 seconds. If the amplitude is higher than 270 degrees when it is adjusted to a 52 degree lift angle and fully wound, it is definitely not the VS 3235 mechanism or the original 3235. Below I set the lift angle to 52 degrees and show it in the video.

Black natural rubber strap. I cannot claim that the texture of the rubber can compete with the original, but it is still one of the upper segment rubbers on the market; Extremely comfortable when worn.

Replica Rolex Oysterlock comes with a folding security clasp; It secures the watch firmly on your wrist. There is also a Rolex Glidelock extension system.

Summary: This VS Factory platinum Yacht-Master is very solid in overall workmanship after disassembly; The bidirectional rotating outer bezel is no longer loose and spacey, and the torque and hand feel have been adjusted to the original. Asian wrist size rubber strap wraps around the metal plate with original workmanship; It is both long-lasting, durable and comfortable. The steel stamp on the case is not an ordinary engraving, like the original; Each watch has its own number and card. Overall a pretty good product. Thank you for your attention. We have always adhered to the principle of honest and impartial review, have not hesitated to tell the truth, have been sincere and determined to keep our promise of service with our actions.
