Bokey TimeHello everyone, I’m Bokey. In this episode, let’s talk about the new Rolex 41 Blue Submariner. Its official model is Rolex Submariner series m126619lb – 0003, and the official retail price of the genuine product is 317,900. Currently, there are many factories in the market producing this model, but the one that truly does it well is only the VS factory. Many watch enthusiasts know that the VS factory is outstanding in terms of the movement. It has the exclusive Dandong 3235 movement. The advantage of this movement is that it is molded according to the original version. In addition, its energy storage power can reach 72 hours, the same as the genuine product, and the repair rate is extremely low. Next, I will explain the specific craftsmanship of this VS factory platinum Blue Submariner with a 41 – mm diameter, accompanied by my actual – shot pictures.
VS Factory Rolex 41 Blue Submariner m126619lb – 0003 – Bokey Actual Shots
First, let’s take a look at the bezel of the VS factory platinum Blue Submariner. It uses the substitute bezel from the CLEAN factory. We all know that the substitute bezel of the C factory has relatively small color difference control, and the pearl on the bezel is also quite smooth and moist, with a texture similar to jade.
The treatment of the fluted bezel won’t cut your hand. When it rotates, the sound is relatively clear, and the gears are distinct.
The watch mirror is made of sapphire glass, and the calendar magnifier has a blue – film coating, which is quite good.
The six – nine studs and the corners of the 12 – point triangular scale have been rounded, making it look more comfortable.
When looking at the hands under magnification, there is no burr on the edges. They are thick, smooth, and moist. The luminous coating filled on them is also relatively even. The center shaft is also the solid center shaft of the new genuine product, so it no longer looks fake at first glance.
The watch case is made of 904L stainless steel, while the original version is made of 18K white gold. There is a certain difference in weight. Let’s take a look at the overall size data. Through actual measurement, the bezel position is also 40.5 mm, the thickness is 12.6 mm, and the weight is 153 grams. Except that the weight is about 1/3 less than that of the genuine product, other dimensions are the same as the original version.
Let’s briefly look at the details of the watch case. The side is polished, with a protective film and a half – printed QR code. On the other side is the time – adjusting crown. The crown logo above is also made to be in line with the original. There is a large dot in the middle and two small dots on both sides, arranged in a straight line. Let’s briefly talk about the functions. After unscrewing counter – clockwise, screwing clockwise is for winding. Pulling out one position is for adjusting the calendar, and pulling out two positions is for adjusting the time. The time – adjusting direction is to adjust counter – clockwise and the time goes clockwise, which is also the same as the original version.
It has a solid – bottom design. The workmanship of the bottom cover is quite good, and it fits the watch case well, without being higher or having gaps. The four lugs are engraved with precious metal marks, the same as the genuine product.
How to distinguish the VS factory 41 Blue Submariner m126619lb movement?
Opening the back cover, you can see that the internal movement is a Dandong 3235 movement, which has been introduced above, so I won’t repeat it.
I’ll just briefly mention the distinguishing points. At the position of the red circle, the outer stud of the shock absorber of the Dandong 3235 movement is downward (that is, corresponding to the 6 – o’clock direction on the front), while the outer stud of the Shanghai 3235 is in the opposite direction. Watch enthusiasts who are worried about being cheated and getting a wrong – version product can ask the merchant to open the cover for verification!
For the watch strap, the genuine product is made of 18K white gold, while the VS factory uses 904L stainless steel. There is a difference in weight, but the gloss is not very different. From the actual – shot pictures, it can be seen that the texture of the entire watch strap is quite good. The front is also processed with the technology of brushing on both sides and polishing the middle beads, following the original design.
The opening and closing degree of the buckle is also quite good. The corners of the safety buckle have been rounded and polished, so it won’t rub your hand. The dragon – phoenix logo, precious metal marks, etc. on the buckle are relatively clear. The code is SR8. Looking at the inside of the extension buckle on the reverse side, the sand – blasting treatment is also relatively clean.
The luminous effect is the same as the ice – blue luminous of the genuine product.
In conclusion, the VS factory Rolex 41 Blue Submariner is undoubtedly the highest – version product in the current market. Whether in terms of appearance or movement, it is much stronger than any other version. You don’t have to worry about obvious flaws like looking fake at first glance when wearing it, and you can rest assured to buy it!
