Bokey TimeHello everyone, this is Bokey Watch Industry. In this watch review, we will talk about the recently updated 41mm Green Submariner from VS Factory. The official model is: Rolex Submariner series m126610lv-0002 (new Green Submariner). Like previous versions, this VS Factory Green Submariner is equipped with a Dandong-made 3235 movement, which, like the genuine model, provides a 70-hour power reserve. Below, let’s take a look at the subtle improvements made to the VS Factory 41mm new Green Submariner.
The front appearance is not much different from before. It is also the emerald green ring of Clean Factory, with a sapphire mirror, a black lacquered dial, and a 904L stainless steel case strap.In terms of detail improvement, the first thing is the night pearl that has been said to be a flaw before. Before, the color was white, which was a little different from the genuine milk green. This time, VS Factory has improved this flaw.
In other aspects, it remains the same as before. Here are a few more details for your identification: the dial of the VS Factory Green Submariner has the same effect as the original, with a glossy sheen on the edges when viewed from different angles.
The glass aspect is also a bit of detail, and the edges are more transparent, reflecting the scale of the dial.
The pointer is also a solid three-dimensional pointer, with clean edges and no burrs. Here’s another point. The center point of the dial has a black hole effect, which is also something that small factories cannot do.
Calendar magnifying glass has been treated with blue-plated film, calendar font is also relatively centered, and there will be no more serious grainy feeling after magnification several times.
The dial printing is also relatively solid, using an oil pressure process, and the font has a three-dimensional sense, which is also a knowledge point to distinguish the size of the factory without opening the lid. The scale nails are all polished, and the brightness is relatively high. The four corners of the nails are also rounded, which shows that the overall texture of the picture is very good.
In addition to printing the small yellow crown at 6 o’clock, laser anti-counterfeiting is also done on the glass. This anti-counterfeiting crown is connected with dotted lines (composed of countless small dots) like the original, while the small factory is a solid line.
The inner shadow lettering is very clear, and the small crown can also be aligned with the 12-point scale of the dial.
The case is solid in workmanship, and the whole body is mirror-polished. The right side is the time-adjusting head, which is also a screw-in handle. When adjusting, it needs to be unscrewed counterclockwise. The time-adjusting direction is the same as the original, and the 32-series movement is the same.
The VS Factory 41mm Green Submariner has the same specifications as the original. The diameter of the single-scale bezel is 40.5mm, the thickness is 12.6mm, and the weight is 154 grams.
The strap is the same as the case, made of 904L stainless steel, and the brushed and polished is very good. In terms of clasp, it will be much better than the previous batches, mainly because of the polishing on the inside of the safety buckle, which was very rough before. (Before, the batches of black and green with the same price were all specially priced due to clasp problems.) Now the VS factory has also improved the process, and the price has also returned to the original price. Of course, for workmanship, it is actually worth the extra 300 yuan.
The extension buckle is also relatively clean now, and can extend 20mm like the original.
The clasp code is 3VV as before, and the dragon and phoenix label is also relatively clear, including the anti-counterfeiting olive label, which is also the same as the original. There are a few small dots below the English.
The dense bottom design, the bottom cover is brushed and polished, and the fit is also relatively tight. There is no problem with swimming.
The internal movement is equipped with the Dandong 3235 movement, which is also exclusive to the VS factory. Many people ask Bokey how to identify the VS factory 41 water ghost. If you understand the appearance of the movement structure, you can directly ask the merchant to open the lid for verification. However, if you don’t quite understand, it is recommended to save the following pictures and compare the structures one by one.
Many people say that the shock absorber is downward. In fact, there are also misunderstandings. It depends on the entire movement structure. In addition to the shock absorber downward, there is also the bearing of the balance wheel. If you can’t see the 7 balls, then it is not the Dandong 3235.
Summary: After improving these two details, the VS Factory 41mm Green Submariner can be considered the pinnacle in the market. If Bokey had to choose, VS Factory would definitely be the first choice. As for the C Factory 41mm Green Submariner, it is actually quite good too, but in terms of movement selection, the Dandong 3235 movement is undoubtedly superior to the Shanghai 3235 movement. Therefore, choosing the VS Factory 41mm Green Submariner is a safe bet. As a side note, C Factory’s GMT-Master model even gave up three months of sales to wait for the supply of the Dandong 3285 movement, which is because the quality of the 3235 movement is extremely high—and the 3285 movement is based on the 3235.
