Bokey TimeAfter successfully developing the 3235 integrated movement this time, VS Factory started to develop the Rolex Submariner series. First, there are the well – known black and green Submariners, then the two – tone Submariner, and today’s 41 – mm blue Submariner. All of them are equipped with the 3235 integrated movement, which has a power reserve of up to 72 hours! The case and bracelet are made of 904L steel, and the workmanship is excellent. Especially, the texture of the blue dial can match that of the genuine product. Today, Bokey took some casual real – shot photos of this watch with a DSLR camera and will give a detailed explanation.
VS Factory 41 – mm Blue Submariner – Bokey Real – shot ID
The VS Factory blue Submariner (126619LB) still uses the bezel from C Factory. It can be regarded as using the best blue ceramic bezel on the market. Different from the bright blue bezels of small factories in the past, the C – bezel has better craftsmanship, being harder, more corrosion – resistant, fingerprint – resistant, and scratch – resistant. Coupled with the luminescent dot at the 12 – o’clock position on the bezel, it is more reassuring to read the time at night.
The serrated outer bezel texture allows the wearer to operate easily even when wearing gloves or in water.
Even the small Rolex crown laser anti – counterfeiting mark at the 6 – o’clock position is made very well, with neat positioning. The side has fine polishing, and you don’t have to worry about the thickness. Because the integrated movement equipped by VS Factory doesn’t have any extra plates, the thickness can be basically the same as that of the genuine product.
The side has fine polishing, and we don’t have to worry about the thickness either. The crown and the surrounding shoulder – like device of the old – style Submariner make people feel more upright. But on the 126619LB, you will find that both the crown and the shoulder – like device are closer to the case, looking more in line with the side lines of the watch.
The hallmarked symbol and precious metal mark are all available. The VS Factory 41 – mm blue Submariner is equipped with an Oysterlock safety clasp that can prevent accidental opening, and a Glidelock system that can be easily extended without using any tools. Even when wearing a diving suit, you can still experience a stable and comfortable wearing feeling. The precious metal marks that should be on the buckle of the VS Factory white – gold blue Submariner are all available, and it uses high – precision milling and engraving, with a super – high degree of restoration.
The movement is the self – developed 3235 movement of VS Factory. This movement is currently the version closest to the genuine one. The internal polishing is very delicate, with an average error of within plus or minus five seconds per day. Here is a brief explanation. The balance wheel lift angle of the 3235 movement of VS Factory is the same as that of the genuine product, which is 59 degrees, not the commonly seen 52 degrees in the market. This is the difference between the market version and the VS Factory version. When using the timegrapher, remember to set the lift angle data to 59 degrees to accurately detect the time – keeping error, and the amplitude can reach over 270. But if the lift angle is set to 52 degrees, the amplitude of the real 3235 movement of VS Factory after fully winding will not be higher than 270 degrees.
Summary: Let’s experience it on the wrist. The wearing comfort of the Submariner is beyond doubt. Whether it’s any Submariner, from the first generation to now, it’s very comfortable. The biggest selling point of this watch must be its rather eye – catching blue color, or we can say its flamboyant blue color. And it is equipped with a surface similar to what we can call a painted surface. Rolex’s painted surfaces usually appear on its precious metal exteriors. Ordinary steel – strap watches have no chance to enjoy the treatment of a painted surface. The on – wrist effect is quite good. Compared with the ordinary Submariner, at first glance, this watch is more glamorous, more beautiful, and more distinctive. So if you’re tired of the black and green Submariners and think they’re too common, then the low – key white – gold blue Submariner is both elegant and allows you to wear a Submariner while standing out. I wonder if you’ll consider it.
