Bokey TimeHello everyone, this is Bokey Watch Industry. In this new product review, we bring you the JVS Factory’s newly launched 2023 Explorer 40 369 model. It is equipped with a Shanghai-made 3230 movement. This is also the 40mm-sized Explorer officially released by Rolex in 2023, with the official model number M224270. This is Rolex’s entry-level model. Now, let’s take a look at how the new JVS Factory Explorer 40 performs.
The new Explorer 40 369 model doesn’t differ much in size from the old 39mm Explorer, but a crown logo has been added at the 6 o’clock position on the dial to distinguish between the new and old versions. Let’s take a look at the details of JVS Factory’s Explorer in terms of craftsmanship.
The whole watch is made of 904L stainless steel, and the mirror surface is made of sapphire glass. The overall appearance is very transparent, and the reflection of the dial scale nails can also be seen on the edge. This is the right version. If the reflection cannot be seen, then it is fake at a glance.
The overall craftsmanship of this new JVS Factory 40mm Explorer is excellent, and the attention to detail is quite meticulous. Below are macro images for everyone to appreciate, as the dial is the greatest reflection of a watch’s craftsmanship.
From the picture, we can see that whether it is a 12-point inverted triangle or a nail scale, the JVS factory has rounded corners, which can be said to be very good. If the corners are straight, the texture is much worse. In addition, the luminous filling is also relatively accurate, with a little concave feeling. This is also the right version below the scale metal surface.
The pointer side also uses a relatively high-cost three-dimensional pointer, which can be seen through macro magnification. The edge treatment is very clean and will not feel rough, including the central axis.
In terms of luminous light, it is the same as the original as ice blue luminous light.
Looking at the ring again, the ring is polished and very bright, and the sapphire glass is higher than the ring, which is also the right version process. The strap is also relatively close to the watch head, and there will be no big gap.
There are also lettering in the inner shadow, and each encoding is independent.
In terms of size data, the actual measurement results of Bokey are: the diameter of the table is 39.9 mm, the thickness is 11.7 mm, and the weight is 140 grams, which is basically the same as the genuine product. Including weight.
The case is made of 904L stainless steel like the strap. The shape of the entire case follows the original design, and the process is also mirror polished, making it look very bright.
The other side is the time adjustment head, which is also a screw-in type, that is, the screw head. There is a crown relief on it, and the time adjustment function is the same as the genuine one. By unscrewing the head counterclockwise and pulling it directly, the time is adjusted. There is no calendar empty file. Even if you get started debugging, you don’t have to worry about being seen through.
The back is still a dense bottom design, the back cover is polished in place, the polished place is polished, and the brushed place is also brushed.
Open the back cover and you can see that the internal movement is a Shanghai 3230 movement. This movement is also the most widely used self-produced movement on the market. It has accurate travel time and strong stability. The only drawback is that the kinetic energy is 20 hours less than the genuine one. However, as a self-contained mechanical watch, 50 hours of dynamic storage is also sufficient. After all, like the well-known ETA2824 and ETA2892 movements, their kinetic energy is only 42 hours.
As for the strap, it is made of 904L stainless steel like the original. The whole is mainly brushed and polished, and the side is polished and decorated, resulting in very solid workmanship.
