Bokey TimeHello everyone, this is Bokey Watch Industry. I previously shared a comparison between VS Factory and CLEAN Factory’s Panda Daytona and Black Ceramic Daytona 126500. In this episode, I will discuss the differences between VS Factory’s official version of the Dandong 4131 Panda Daytona and the early trial version of the Dandong 4801. After all, the price difference between VS Factory’s official version and the trial version is over 1,000 yuan, and many watch enthusiasts are concerned about paying for the official version but receiving the trial version. Therefore, through a text and image comparison, I will share how to distinguish between the official version and the trial version.
By positive comparison, it can be seen that the two are identical in appearance, whether in the ring dial or strap, the only difference is in the movement.
Then it can only be distinguished by opening the lid. On the left is the early adopter version of the Dandong 4801 movement, also known as the residual blood version, 55-hour dynamic storage, and on the right is the official version of the full blood Dandong 4131 mold-opening movement. In structure, it is the same as the Swiss 4131, 72-hour dynamic storage. In appearance, we can see that it has different structures. First of all, the shock absorber part. The residual blood 4801 uses the Inga Bailu shock absorber, while the full blood 4131 is the KIF shock absorber.
The second is the difference in the winding structure. The 4081 is a one-way winding structure, which will feel larger when shaking, while the 4131 will not, because it is a two-way winding. At the same time, you can also see the difference in the automatic tubular bearing. The 4801 is fixed with one screw and has only seven balls, while the Dandong 4131 is fixed with three screws, and the balls are several times more than the 4801.
Except for changing to one-way winding, different shock absorbers and 55 hours of dynamic storage, the performance is 4801 and full blood 4131 without any difference, guide column wheel, vertical clutch, timing function is still durable, repair rate is still very low, it can be understood that in addition to the automatic winding module, other places have the same structure, so the cost performance is still good, no matter how castrated it is, it is much better than the 7750 performance. The price is also comparable to the 7750 Daytona, and the 7750 has finally been replaced. Happy!
The first batch launched by VS only includes the 126500 Panda Daytona and the Black Ceramic Daytona, both of which have a trial version and an official version.
Finally, to summarize the difference between the 413x series of full blood and residual blood, the 4130 and 4131 dynamic storage of full blood is 72 hours, two-way winding, kif shock absorber, and low noise. The dynamic storage of the residual blood version is 55 hours, and the automatic module is changed to one-way winding, Inga Bailu shock absorber, which is noisy. If you don’t open the lid to distinguish these two movements, you can only listen to the sound by shaking the watch, and the big and vibration is the residual blood version. You can also directly identify it by opening the lid. If you buy it at Bokey, you will be provided with an opening ball for you to open the lid and identify it by yourself. Buy with confidence.
