Bokey TimeHello everyone, this is Bokey Watch Industry. In this watch review, we present the VS Factory Rolex Two-Tone Sea-Dweller, with the official model number: Rolex Sea-Dweller Series m126603-0001 Single Yellow Watch. VS Factory first launched this model in 2022, but at that time, the color of the “SEA-DWELLER” font on the dial was incorrectly made white, so we didn’t recommend it to everyone. This time, VS Factory has corrected this issue, and it’s now worth recommending for purchase. Below, we will introduce the specific craftsmanship of the VS Factory Single Yellow Sea-Dweller.
Review of the Corrected Version of VS Factory’s Single Yellow Two-Tone Sea-Dweller
Just from the appearance, the VS Factory two-tone Sea-Dweller is very luxurious, with a symmetrical color scheme. The golden outer ring and steel strap have a golden middle section, making it a true two-tone Sea-Dweller. Let’s take a look at the detailed images:
The glass mirror surface of sapphire is scratch-resistant and wear-resistant, and the transparency is very high. Including the edge of the glass, it is also the same as the genuine product, and you can see the reflection of the dial scale around.
At 12 o’clock on the dial, an inverted triangle scale is used, which is centered with the crown below. At 6 o’clock and 9 o’clock, there are three-dimensional rectangular time scales, and other scales are dotted time scales. All scales are filled with full luminous materials. The luminous light at night is very beautiful. There is a calendar window at 3 o’clock. The calendar font is clear and the size is the same. The convex lens is also treated with blue coating, which is very clear when reading.
The black and gold matching of the ceramic outer ring looks very exquisite and atmospheric. The scale is clearly engraved and natural. The night pearl above 12 o’clock is full, as transparent as jasper, and the position is not biased or crooked. The inverted triangle scale at 12 o’clock and the small crown maintain the corresponding position. After polishing, it is very delicate. The black and gold look very atmospheric together, and the texture is very good.
The three-dimensional hour markers and hands on the disk are filled with luminous materials, which are full and do not overflow and have a gold frame decoration, which is full of texture. The proportion of the round scale is the same, and the circular arc is perfectly made. The four corners of the rectangular scale are perfectly right-angled, finely polished, and perfectly consistent. Looking at the classic Mercedes-Benz hour hand design on the disk, the hands are meticulously plated and very round. Whether it is the length, thickness, or central axis of the pointer, the appearance is the same as the original. The Rolex crown logo is printed delicately, and the opening shows an oval shape.
The biggest change in the brand-new single yellow two-tone Sea-Dweller is that the “SEA-DWELLER” text on the dial now uses yellow letters. In the first batch of products, VS Factory mistakenly used white, but this has now been corrected, so it no longer looks fake at first glance.
Looking at the size data, measured by the vernier caliper, the diameter is 42.9 mm, the thickness is 15.1 mm, ignoring the industrial error of 0.1-0 mm, basically consistent with the original.
The weight is 189 grams, because the material is made of 904L stainless steel and electroplated, so it will be lighter than the genuine product. However, the weight of VS factory is also relatively low, after all, it is close to 4 taels, and it will not be light.
The case made of 904L stainless steel is mirror-polished and polished as a whole, with very high brightness. The middle button on the left side of the case is made of titanium metal like the original. In terms of function, the original is an exhaust valve, while the VS factory single yellow is decorative and has no real function.
The side crown of the VS Factory Single Yellow Two-Tone Sea-Dweller is also golden in color, featuring Rolex’s patented screw-down waterproof crown with extremely high water resistance. The crown still bears the classic Rolex crown logo, which is exquisitely polished with a strong three-dimensional effect. Additionally, it is engraved with anti-slip texture gear designs around the circumference to avoid slipping during time adjustment. VS Factory’s attention to detail in craftsmanship remains at a very high level.
The bottom cover is designed with a dense bottom. The brushed process makes the bottom cover look very delicate. A circle of English fonts is engraved on the bottom cover, the font ink is clear, and the grooves on the outer ring are also very round. The movement is equipped with the exclusive Dandong 3235 movement of VS factory. In terms of time adjustment and the structure of the movement are consistent with the genuine product, it can also provide 72 hours of kinetic energy, and the travel time is accurate and the stability is very high, allowing sellers and buyers to save worry and effort.
In terms of the strap, the VS Factory two-tone Sea-Dweller uses a three-segment strap that is identical to the genuine product. Many watch enthusiasts may not understand what a three-segment strap is. Simply put, it is composed of three components. The advantage of this design is that the central golden part can be electroplated separately, avoiding the embarrassment of white exposure on the sides in previous versions. Of course, the genuine product also uses this structure, but VS Factory employs an electroplating coloring process for the material, while the genuine product uses 18K gold.
Case
The clasp adopts an oyster safety buckle and is equipped with a Rolex Glidelock extension system. Through convenient fine-tuning, the watch fits better with the wrist, does not fall off easily, and is very reliable.
Conclusion: The VS Factory Rolex Single Yellow Two-Tone Sea-Dweller is definitely a hot-selling model in Rolex’s entire diving watch collection. While the Black Submariner is too common and the Green Submariner is less versatile, the two-tone Sea-Dweller becomes a better choice. With VS Factory’s mature craftsmanship and reliable movement, choosing the VS Factory version is the wisest decision when purchasing this watch.
