Rolex - Milgauss 40mm 116400GV 904L SS/SS Black VSF VS3131

VSF Factory Rolex Milgauss 116400GV Black Dial 904L

VS Factory Green Sapphire Glass with Blue Dial, with the official model number Rolex Milgauss m116400gv-0002. This model is a classic, having been discontinued by Rolex years ago, but its popularity remains strong. In the replica watch market, both N Factory and GS Factory had previously released versions of it, but their craftsmanship was generally subpar. Today, VS Factory has launched its own version of the Green Sapphire Glass Milgauss. So, what makes this one stand out?

• First, the dial markers on the VS Factory version have been refined. In previous N Factory versions, the hour markers weren’t polished, leaving the edges of the bar-shaped markers quite sharp as they were simply stamped and installed. VS Factory has addressed this by rounding the edges of all the markers, making them noticeably smoother.
  
• Secondly, the blue tone of the dial is well-matched to the original and does not have a purplish hue. The hands, too, are very clean, with the center axis being solid, and the orange lightning bolt-shaped second hand has an oily sheen. The “MILGAUSS” lettering and the numbers around the outer rim are thicker and have the same color tone as the second hand, avoiding the issue of mismatched colors seen in other replicas.
  
• Third, the glass is designed in the same green color as the original, and the sapphire crystal is very clear, unlike the hazy look seen in N Factory versions. The green edges of the glass are also faithfully replicated.
  
• The case and bracelet are made of 904L stainless steel, accurately replicating the design of the original. The entire case, including the bezel, is polished, giving it a premium feel. The crown also features an embossed Rolex logo, with a line underneath it, staying true to the original. To adjust the time, unscrew the crown counterclockwise and pull it out to the first position to adjust the time, as there is no date function.
  
• The watch has a solid case back with engraved lettering filled with oil. Opening the case back reveals an anti-magnetic cover, just like the original, to protect the movement from magnetic interference. The movement used is the Dandong 3131, which is derived from the 3135 movement but lacks the date function. Like the 3135, it features two shock absorbers and ensures stable and accurate timekeeping. This movement is exclusively available from VS Factory, while other versions in the market use a Shanghai movement.
  

In summary, the VS Factory Green Sapphire Glass with Blue Dial corrects many of the flaws of previous replicas and uses the best available Dandong 3131 movement, ensuring precision and durability. If you’re looking for a pre-owned version of the 116400gv Green Sapphire Glass Milgauss, consider opting for the VS Factory replica.
