Bokey TimeHello everyone, this is Bokey Watch Industry. In this episode, we will introduce the weighted version of the Ice Blue Daytona launched by VS Factory. The official model is the Rolex Cosmograph Daytona series m126506-0001 (Ice Blue Daytona). This is also the first weighted Daytona in the Zhanxi replica market equipped with the Dandong 4131 movement. It not only increases the weight in hand feel but also uses the best chronograph movement on the market, with stability comparable to the ETA2824. At the same time, it has reduced the price: previous weighted versions cost more than $1500, but after VS Factory’s launch, the price has been directly reduced to around $1400, forcing other factories to follow suit. It can be said that VS Factory has always been an industry leader. Now, let’s take a look at the craftsmanship details of VS Factory’s weighted Ice Blue Daytona 4131 and see if it lives up to the price?
First, let’s weigh it. The VS Factory weighted Ice Blue Daytona weighs 164 grams, which is still about 50 grams lighter than the genuine product. However, this is currently the best weighting method, and it still feels substantial in hand. Of course, if you weigh it with a scale, you will notice the difference. For other weighted versions on the market that claim to be over 200 grams, most of them tamper with the case—they look bloated and misshapen from the front, and the case back is significantly thickened. Even if their weight matches the original, they can be instantly recognized as fake. VS Factory avoids this problem: its case shape fully follows the original design, and there is no risk of peeling over time, an issue that plagues other tungsten steel materials on the market.
The shell shape is exactly the same as the original.
The details of the disk are also in place in the VS factory. We can see that its ice blue tone is very close to the original, and one of its circles is also the same brown color as the original. The glass is also made of high-transparency glass, which does not need to be replaced by glass. It is factory standard, which can save hundreds of dollars in modification costs.
Bullet scale strips, the edges are polished, very rounded, not as flat and three-dimensional as other versions. The pointer is also the same as the version of the smooth needle, with no black line in the middle, clear water chestnuts, and several pointers can see the axis.
The new Ice Blue Daytona from VS Factory adopts a transparent case back design synchronized with the original. Through the sapphire crystal in the center, the operation process of the Dandong 4131 movement can be clearly observed.
The Dandong 4131 movement is currently the best chronograph movement on the market. It is better than the Shanghai 4131 movement from other factories in terms of grinding and stability. The movement is also polished with a bevel. The lines and lettering are very clear, and the grinding level is very close to the genuine product. Needless to say, the performance of the movement, Dandong 4130 and Dandong 4131 are definitely second heaven artifacts!!!
