VS Factory Rolex Submariner New 3135 Movement Review

The Rolex Submariner model is produced by VS Factory with a high-tech ceramic case, standard case diameter and ETA 2824-2 caliber in Swiss norms 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.

When using 2836/2824, when setting the date, the direction is opposite to the original; Its function is also not the same as the original 3135. Therefore, the only option for those who want the exact same version is the replica 3135 movement. However, there are frequently criticized problems in the 3135 movements on the market, such as poor workmanship, extremely unstable quality, and a high rate of return to repair. This situation pushes manufacturers and sellers to highlight the 2836/2824 movement again. Should Replika 3135 be bought or sold? This is the question of the century that buyers and sellers have been pondering for years.

VS Factory's new 3135 movement has arrived and is preparing to change the history of replica 3135 movements with poor workmanship and uneven quality.

Is the VS Factory brand new 3135 movement good?

There are many 3135 versions on the market now, and what they all have in common is that the quality is very uneven. The most common problems are the date stuck and the power reserve being weak. When you try to set the date at a certain time, the date gear malfunctions; Then you have to wind it manually every day, otherwise the watch will stop working the next day. One salesman even made a joke out of desperation: 'Buying the 3135 movement is a matter of chance; If it's not broken, it's not time yet.' Direct hit!

Large factories in the market have also repeatedly announced that they have improved the movement quality in various ways. But what they actually do is replace the 3135 version of one unstable factory with the 3135 version of another unstable factory; They have not really solved the problems such as unstable quality, easy deterioration, high repair rate and lack of durability.

Most people have the impression that the 'blue mainspring' 3135, which is common in the market, is relatively high quality and balanced. However, this is an illusion. The limits in the manufacturing technology of the factory producing this mechanism, the careless, work-averse approach to part details and precision; ultimately dooming it to uneven quality, numerous problems, and lack of durability. So why?

This 'blue mainspring' 3135 movement, which is common in the market, is used by a few large factories. So why do some factories produce terrible quality watches with this movement, while a few others seem to have relatively stable products? What actually happens is this: one of these factories, for example, selects three or four hundred of the 1000 movements in a batch that appear to have good operating data, and returns the rest to the movement factory and sells them to other manufacturers. (This is why the output quality is so bad from some of the few larger factories that use the same mechanism.) Such an opportunistic, short-cut approach from this factory only results in good operating data at the time of shipment; That's why everyone has the illusion that the output quality is balanced. However, parts and structure problems inside the mechanism, as well as practices such as the use of stone instead of the shock absorber, doom it to unstable quality, many problems and lack of durability. When the customer uses it a little more heavily, a problem occurs and the watch goes back to service or repair. If it's not broken, it's not time yet.

VS's brand new 3135 movement (this one also has a 'blue mainspring'), the original 3135 movement and the 'blue mainspring' 3135 movement, which is common in the market and is considered relatively balanced by everyone; We will compare them in detail, from external appearance to internal structure. When you finish reading it, you will understand the problems I explained above.

Everyone who deals with replica watches wants to buy a similar, good and balanced watch. However, the situation with the precision of workmanship of the replica 3135 movements on the market so far, especially the common 'blue mainspring' 3135, is as follows: the milling pattern on the outer surface of the movement is processed like the stainless steel basin or stainless steel workbench we use at home; the material is too shiny (over-reflective), the milling texture is too shallow and indistinct. No matter which angle you look at it, the texture looks very low quality.

Rolex has a closed case back design; That's why you can't normally see the precision of workmanship of the mechanism and the differences in its appearance. But the difference in level of mechanism processing is actually the difference in the power of the factory producing the mechanism; It is the difference in the processing equipment and technical staff of the factory. Do you believe that a factory that cannot even do simple external milling work properly can produce a mechanism with high precision and balanced quality? You probably can't believe it. Just like many domestic automobiles: it is almost impossible for an automobile company that cannot even produce the detail quality of the bodywork properly to produce a good domestic engine. This level difference determines the level and quality of the product.

Those who are curious about very small details can examine them themselves. From the details numbered ①②③, which everyone can easily see, it is clear that VS has captured the texture of the original.

1. Look at the milling effect on the mechanism plate;

2. Look at the fineness and brightness of the sunburst;

3. Look at the processing fineness, brightness and direction of the radial pattern…

The machining workmanship of the 'blue mainspring' 3135, which is common in the market, is rough. Do not underestimate this difference. In the world of mechanisms, a hair's breadth of deviation in precision opens gaps in quality.

1. Işınsal desene bakın

In VS and the original, the pattern revolves around the central hole; The mechanism on the market has an ordinary radial pattern. The difference is clear.

2. Look at the color and letter spacing of the text on the mechanism plate. From here you can come to the following conclusion: The difference between the 'blue mainspring' 3135 movement, which is common in the market, is big and its workmanship is rough; It is extremely obvious when you look at this detail.

VS's brand new 3135 movement carries the movement code and ROLEX inscription on the movement plate, just like the original 3135 movement.

The plate of the 'blue mainspring' 3135 movement, which is common in the market, is empty; There is no mechanism code on it. Since this detail was not done properly, when you open the case back, you realize this: You think you are buying the 3135 movement, but what you have is an empty plate without a code. This detail is even more noticeable than the previously advertised 'blue mainspring' upgrade for the same movement; In other words, the difference between whether there is a mechanism code or not is more noticeable.

VS's brand new 3135 movement, like the original, has 7 fixing rivets on its main plate.

There is no fixing rivet on the main plate of the 'blue mainspring' 3135 movement, which is common in the market.

All of these details can be clearly seen with the naked eye. You can easily select them when you open the back of the case. There are constantly people in the market who pass off small factory water monsters as the water ghosts of such and such a big factory; The ordinary consumer, on the other hand, is very hesitant to go crazy and buy small factory goods, but it is very difficult to distinguish this from the details.

From now on, those who buy VS's brand new 3135 movement water ghost need not worry about being deceived by the small factory version. If you have any doubts after purchasing the product, pay XXX and have a watch repairman open the case back and compare it with the movement details I explained above. You make your decision immediately.

VS's upcoming 3135 series products are all molded based on the recent new original version; There will be some detail differences between them and other products on the market, which are molded according to the older original version. You can easily distinguish whether a product is VS or not from these detail differences. (I will share detailed information in the future; it is not necessary to open the case back and look at the movement to distinguish the version, hehe.)

The 'blue mainspring' 3135 movement, which is common in the market, is still stuck in the 'look similar from the outside, look more or less the same' approach in terms of internal structure and parts; As soon as you disassemble it, it becomes clear that the internal structure and parts are different. This 'cunning' / avoiding work approach condemns the mechanism to unstable quality, many problems and lack of durability.

VS's brand new 3135 mechanism with the original 3135 mechanism: the two gears in the swinging part are both stepped and three-dimensional; so the parts fit together more tightly.

The 3135 mechanism on the market has only two ordinary spur gears; They are stepless and have large margins of play and movement, which reduces the quality and stability of the mechanism.

After removing the automatic installation rotor module, you can see this second floor main plate of the mechanism. Here, the 'cunning'/avoidance approach of the 'blue spring' 3135 movement, which is common in the market, comes into play again: the shock absorber that should be there is replaced with an ordinary ruby ​​stone. They used pieces of stone instead of shock absorbers; because the customer, that is, you, cannot see it anyway.

8. Is there an impact shock absorber?

The reason why the stability of these high-end movements from Rolex is so superior is the many admirable design details; For example, using impact shock absorbers at critical points prevents quality problems such as breakage as a result of falling. VS has installed the same shock absorber as the original in its brand new 3135 movement, at an expense.

In the 3135 movement on the market, only an ordinary jewel is placed; Its appearance is completely different from the original, and the stability of the movement and impact resistance are much worse compared to the original and the VS.

The double bridge of the balance wheel sits on these two bridge pillars.

In the original 3135 movement and VS's brand new 3135 movement, the metal ring on the bridge pillars can be turned up and down; Thus, the height of the balance double bridge can be adjusted. The metal ring of the 3135 on the market is simply made as a single piece pole and cannot be turned.

In VS's brand new 3135 movement and the original 3135 movement, there are no extra two vertical posts below the balance wheel.

The 3135 on the market has two extra vertical posts under the balance; Its structure is different from the original. The function of these two poles is to limit the movement of the fork; Technology of the eighties and nineties. Today, high-end movements have long abandoned this, only lower-segment movements still use this technique. Those who are curious can take a look at the following two antique mechanisms that I unearthed from the bottom of the chest:

When I completely disassemble and reassemble VS's brand new 3135 movement, the oscillation amplitude can reach over 300; Once you adjust the error a little, timekeeping becomes perfect.

When I completely disassembled the original 3135 movement and reassembled it, the time keeping data was still extremely good without the need for any adjustments. It's truly awesome.

When I completely disassembled and reassembled the 'blue mainspring' 3135 movement, which is common in the market, the curse that domestic movements, especially lower segment movements, cannot be disassembled and reassembled was once again confirmed: after disassembly and reassembly, the oscillation amplitude no longer increases, it oscillates around 200; The mechanism becomes half disabled after a single disassembly and reassembly. This is why many domestic mechanisms of ordinary quality cannot be repaired after a problem occurs, do not improve despite repeated repairs, and even deteriorate even more as they are repaired. (This is because the machining precision of the mechanism parts is not high enough and the parts do not fit together tightly enough.)

The 'blue mainspring' 3135 caliber, which is common in the market; It is doomed to unstable quality, many problems and a high repair rate due to the limits in the mechanism factory's production equipment and technology, as well as the 'cunning' / work avoidance attitude in the internal structure and part details. A thousand kilometer barrier of quality is collapsing through an ant hole. They do not change the quality of the mechanism; they just repeatedly weed out mechanisms with good working data. What these few factories are doing is a bit like fooling themselves; it just makes the operating data look good at the time of shipment. Once the customer buys the watch, whether it will be stable or not is entirely up to the customer's luck.

You think that the quality of the "blue mainspring" 3135 movement, which is common in the market, is good; But here's the thing: When a factory buys mechanisms, it filters out the ones with good working data and sends the ones with bad data back to the mechanism factory, which sells them to other manufacturers (hence why the output quality of some of the few large manufacturers using the same movement is so bad). So the test data during shipment looks fine. However, due to the production level of the movement and the internal structure established with a manipulative approach, all kinds of quality problems may arise when an ordinary user pushes the watch a little more.

The joke that the sellers will tell in the future is this: Buying the ordinary "blue mainspring" 3135 movement on the market is a matter of luck; It's not that it won't break, it's just that the time hasn't come yet. Buying VS's brand new 3135 movement products is more decisive and more careful; Moreover, it provides assurance against imitation by small workshops.
