Official model: Rolex week calendar series m228235-0025 watch
Appearance
The DD rose gold watch from GM factory continues the classic elements of Rolex in appearance design. The dial is designed with olive green and rose hour scale, the color control of the dial is almost the same as the original, and the radiolabel part is also relatively delicate. The mirror surface is made of sapphire glass.
Function display : The banner at 12 o’clock on the dial is designed to display the week, and the calendar at 3 o’clock is displayed
detail points
The font is also three-dimensional printing. Through the macro picture, you can see that the fonts on the dial are full and three-dimensional, unlike the flat printing process of the lower version.
The Roman scale time scale on the disk is also mirror polished. The pointer is also relatively thick and polished very beautifully. If the center axis is enlarged, it will be a little larger than the original, but it is not a problem of being fake at a glance. This point does not need to be torn too much.
In addition to the printed small crown on the dial at 6 o’clock, there is also a laser anti-counterfeiting small crown on the glass.
The inner shadow lettering is also relatively deep, clear and powerful, and the 12-point crown is also aligned
Case part
The entire shell shape of the GM factory counterweight DD is synchronized with the original design, the thickness is also 12.5mm, and the table diameter is 40mm. The whole watch material is 904L stainless steel, plus rose gold by electroplating process. Of course, if you have a sufficient budget, you can also process the gold wrapping process, and the texture will be further improved.
Take a macro look at the case workmanship and tooth ring.
Detailed explanation of counterweight technology
The GM factory used innovative counterweight technology in this watch. By adding high-density materials to the inside of the case, the weight of the watch reached 178 grams, almost the same level as the original gold watch. This counterweight not only enhances the texture of the watch, but also provides a heavy satisfaction when wearing, making people almost forget that this is a replica watch.
Movement performance analysis
The back cover of the dense bottom has precious metal lettering, although it may be slightly shallower than the original, but the clarity is still acceptable. The movement is selected from the GM factory to provide the Seagull 2834 movement (also known as the Seagull 2836 in some peers) and the modified 3255 movement. Bokey suggestion is to choose the Seagull 2834 movement version, because the modified 3255 movement is also used to add the deck with the Seagull 2834. Later, there will be a problem that the splint screw will fall off and not go away. The Seagull 2834 of the plain machine is more stable, including the accuracy, which has been widely recognized by the market, and it is also the same as the original. For most users, the performance of this movement in daily life is excellent enough to meet the needs of time accuracy.
The precious metal imprint on the back of the case and the dog head mark are enlarged. Compared with the original, it is still almost interesting.
Strap
The head of state strap is also made of 904L stainless steel, with brushed wires on both sides of the middle polishing, and the side will not be white.
Concealed folding button, opening and closing is also relatively easy, with precious metal imprints on the inside of the button, and the code is 7GT.
Summary and recommendations
This time, the main upgrade of the GM factory’s counterweight DD is in weight, which has been increased to 178 grams, about 10 grams heavier than the V2 version. In other aspects, it is no different from the V2 version. And after the upgrade, the V2 version has been discontinued. Regarding the purchase recommendation, Bokey believes that the V3 counterweight DD is almost indistinguishable from the genuine product in terms of hand feel and weight, as well as the details and polishing of the dial. Although there are some differences in certain details compared to the original, for consumers who pursue an ultimate wearing experience and high cost – performance ratio, this GM factory counterweight DD rose – gold watch is a must – have masterpiece.
