VS Factory Rolex Full Gold Black Submariner 126618 "3235 Movement" Quality and Details Review

The VS Factory is continuously improving its Rolex series, particularly with the introduction of the new 41mm models that feature the upgraded 3235 movement, offering longer power reserves. Additionally, the 6 o'clock marker on the dial now includes a small crown, a unique feature that distinguishes the 3235 movement from the 3135 movement in terms of appearance.

This 126618 model retains the iconic Oyster case, Mercedes hands, and the classic magnified date window. It has a 41mm diameter, a black dial, a black Cerachrom ceramic bezel with gold-coated numerals, making it both stylish and dignified. The main difference is the small crown at the 6 o'clock position on the dial.

The dial features a black laser-etched pattern, perfectly replicated by the VS Factory to match the genuine model. The luminous pearl in the bezel is white in the center with a smooth edge, just like the original. The hour markers have been finely chamfered and polished, giving them a very rounded appearance. The 3D font printing process looks very three-dimensional, with each letter's size and spacing exactly matching the original.

The ceramic bezel of the VS Factory model has a dive scale color that is impressively done, with a visual effect that shows "gold" within the yellow, closely resembling the original. The solid axle, recessed dial, and polished hour markers are all done with precision.

The bracelet and clasp are made from 904L steel plated with 18K gold. The steel bracelet is treated with imported sandpaper, and additional brushing is done to achieve a texture that closely resembles the genuine article—clear, delicate, and complete. The edges are perfectly polished, making it very comfortable to wear without any sharp edges.

In earlier versions from N Factory and AR Factory, the inner clasp's color often appeared uneven, making it easy to identify as a fake watch upon opening. However, VS Factory addressed this issue starting with the 116618 model, and the inner clasp’s gold finish is now much cleaner. The 126618 model continues this top-tier craftsmanship.

The watch is equipped with the exclusive VS Factory 3235 movement, which is currently only used by VS Factory. This movement offers a power reserve of up to 3 days, slightly enhanced by manual winding, representing a small but significant improvement over the conventional 3135 movement’s power reserve.

Overall, the VS Factory Rolex Full Gold Black Submariner 126618 is an outstanding piece, well worth purchasing and adding to a collection.
