The detailed introduction of the Rolex Submariner 41mm with the 3235 movement from the VS factory is as follows
The quality of the 41mm Rolex Submariner replica watch from VS factory is said to be excellent. The VS factory's 41mm version of the Submariner is made by purchasing genuine watches and remolding them, rather than upgrading from the older 40mm Submariner case. It is also made of 904L steel, with the main differences being the internal movement, size, and dial color. The new 41mm Submariner features a black dial with a green ceramic bezel.
The ceramic bezel of the VS factory's Submariner replica has improved color and finish, with a more vibrant and non-fading green shade. The color formula for genuine ceramic bezels is a closely guarded secret, and maintaining color stability in colored ceramic over time is quite challenging. However, after years of craftsmanship improvement, the VS factory has achieved color stability that is very close to the original, including the green-gold dial color.
The platinum coating on the ceramic bezel markings of the VS factory's replica has been upgraded from the previous silver-gray to a bright silver shade (in a brand-new, unused state). The markings are finely detailed, and the coating is more even. After some time of wearing the watch, the coating naturally changes color due to sweat and dust accumulation (similar to the color change of the markings on genuine watches).
The case of the watch is meticulously crafted with brushed finish on the sides, achieved through methods such as using imported sandpaper and increasing the number of polishing stages, to achieve a texture closer to the genuine watch. The details of the watch's crown are also well-executed, as expected from the VS factory.
The movement of the watch is equipped with the VS factory's in-house developed 3235 movement, which is widely used in their replica Rolex watches. It is currently one of the closest movements to the genuine one, with finely polished internals. The stability of the movement is highly valued, and replica watch enthusiasts have a positive opinion of this movement, not only for its high level of visual accuracy but also for its low repair rate.
One easy way to identify the VS factory's 3235 movement is by its oscillation rate, which is around 200. If the actual movement's oscillation rate exceeds 250, then it is not from the VS factory.
