Workmanship Review of VS Factory Rolex Explorer I m224270: VS Factory Explorer I 40mm Replica Watch

Hello everyone, this is Bokey Watch Industry. Today, let’s talk about the VS Factory Explorer I. The official model is the Rolex Explorer Series m224270-0001 watch. This one is 40mm, and VS Factory also offers a 36mm Explorer I. Many watch enthusiasts say the 36mm Explorer I is the most classic, but now many find the 36mm slightly too small for daily wear. Therefore, this 40mm Explorer I is a size suitable for most wearers. The original model comes in three sizes: 36mm, 39mm, and 40mm. Currently, the two best manufacturers for this model are C Factory and VS Factory. C Factory focuses on the 36mm and 39mm versions, while VS Factory produces the 36mm and 40mm versions. Please pay attention to this distinction.
Then both C Factory and VS Factory produce versions that are true to the original, so you don’t have to worry about this and can directly go for them. Let me briefly talk about the original versions. The 36mm version was launched in 2001, a 39mm version was introduced in 2016, the 36mm version was upgraded in 2021, and the 40mm version was released in 2023. It uses the 3230 movement with a power reserve of up to 70 hours. Therefore, the current 40mm version is the latest iteration of the Explorer I. Let’s take a look at its detailed craftsmanship and overall appearance. Since this watch has a very simple design, there are basically no flaws in its reproduction, including details on the dial.

First of all, there is no color difference in literal black, and then there are all the nails. Do this rounded corner polishing. Let’s take a close look at this one, including one of its 3, 6, and 9 nails. These edges are all chamfered. Then the pointer luminous filling, including the central axis, are all made to the right plate, and then the printing of these letters is also oil pressure printing, and then there is a small crown under 6 o’clock, and then looking at the side, it is this anti-counterfeiting logo. Then including the height of the mirror raised, the polishing of the ring, and a horizontal bar of the head, these are all made to the right plate.

Then, the clasp is made of frosted material, and the feel of opening and closing the clasp is also fine. The 40MM version currently has the code U7T, and there are no issues with the opening/closing feel. The engravings are also covered with protective film and are well-executed. Looking at the case back, the connection between the watch head and the case is extremely tight, with no issues at all. Why recommend this watch? Because it can be said to have no flaws both inside and out. Unlike the Green Submariner, which may have controversial color difference issues, this model features a fixed bezel, so there’s no need to distinguish between genuine and replica based on the feel of the rotating bezel.

Then the movement is also a real mold-opening movement. This is a real 3230 Dandong mold-opening movement. Through one direction of the two fast and slow piles, everyone can see that it is also divided into left and right, because now some 3235 movements in Factory C also make two piles, but one of its speed adjustment and this polarization adjustment are in the opposite direction, so everyone looks for this movement in Dandong. Whether it is 4130, 4131, and then these 3235 movements, etc., they are slightly better than the movement in Shanghai. Of course, there is no big problem with the movement in Shanghai now. Overall, Dandong is slightly better than it.
