VS Factory Heavy Weight Daytona-Super Replica Watches Reviews

Last week, VS Factory announced the production of a heavy-weight version of the 12xxxx series Daytona. Currently, these watches are available in seven different models, including five models with rubber straps and two ice-blue Daytons with stainless steel bracelets.

Are these heavy-weight Daytons of good quality? My answer is affirmative. This is not the first time VS Factory has produced weighted Rolexes. Do you recall their 42mm Yacht-Master? It remains one of the best-selling super clone Rolex watches, with its latest version reaching V3. The weight of that Yacht-Master is approximately 148 grams, very close to the genuine article. Regarding the new heavy-weight Daytona from VS Factory, please refer to the images I have shared below. Each rubber-strapped model weighs approximately 138 grams.

A common concern among potential buyers of these Daytons might be whether the watch case will peel or if the electroplating layer of the case will deteriorate. VS Factory assures us this will not happen, and I trust their claim. Over the past several years, many individuals have purchased the weighted Yacht-Master 226659 from VS. Tungsten steel is used in the case of this watch, yet there have been no complaints regarding peeling. Watch enthusiasts appear highly satisfied with its quality. Therefore, I am confident that VS Factory has executed an excellent job on the newly released weighted Daytona.

Prior to VS Factory, both QF and APS had produced weighted versions of the 12xxxx series Daytona. Another manufacturer named Gold also previously made weighted Daytons, though it is unclear whether Gold continues to produce the new 12xxxx series. The QF version has reached V10, while APS Factory continues to enhance its quality. However, both manufacturers use the Shanghai 4131 movement, which is less desirable compared to Dandong 4131, now adopted by Clean. The QF Daytona weighs approximately 155 grams, while the APS Daytona weighs around 151 grams. Both utilize tungsten steel as the inner material, wrapped in stainless steel. If not properly processed, the case may darken over time or even peel. In contrast, the VS Daytona weighs approximately 138 grams, roughly 20 grams lighter than the genuine watch. VS Factory claims that the weight difference lies solely in the band and buckle. Thus, I propose a solution: purchase a VS Daytona and replace its strap and buckle with a genuine one, resulting in a near-perfect replica.

I am genuinely pleased to see VS Factory introduce this new weighted Daytona. This represents a significant opportunity for them to gain market share against Clean. The price they offer is also quite reasonable, nearly equivalent to the cost of a regular-weight Clean Daytona, which weighs approximately 108 grams.

I have an idea: why doesn't VS Factory consider using real white gold or yellow gold plating on the case? This would ensure the case never peels and would not significantly increase costs. If implemented, many watch enthusiasts might willingly pay more for such a superior replica.

Below, I present images of each weighted Daytona produced by VS Factory.
