VS Factory – Susan Reviews on Replica Watches

VS Factory GMT-Master Pepsi

Just in last week, I saw a news saying VS Factory will publish the replica of Rolex GMT-Master II Pepsi soon, I thought it was a fake news, you know, some dealers like publishing fake news to attract attention. But the replica watch really just came out. I never thought that VS Factory will participate in the production of replica Rolex GMT-Master II, because Clean has occupied the most watch market, even customers will not choose from Clean, there are also other options such as THB and ARF, besides, the best clone 3285 movement is only used by Clean. However, the news is real, the replica Rolex GMT-Master II Pepsi from VS Factory was just published, with the same Dandong 3285 movement as Clean, that’s amazing, it is a good news for the customers, the competition between these two factories will bring you much better replicas watches.

I am very curious about one thing, how did VS Factory get the Dandong 3285 movement? You know, it was only used by Clean before. Is there an agreement between VS and Clean, it is said that Clean will also use the Dandong 3235 movement soon.

Here are pictures of the GMT-Master II Pepsi from VS.

Here are comparison pictures between VS and Clean, the left watch is from VS, the right one is from Clean.

The color of the GMT hand is different. The GMT hand on Clean Factory has a darker red than that on VS. VS claims that their GMT hand has a closer red color to that of genuine watch.

On the right watch from Clean, the crystal stands a bit higher than the crystal on the left watch from VS. It looks like Clean has a thicker sapphire crystal. And the crystal on VS has a higher transparency.

I do not know if it is because of the higher transparency on VS watch, the dial printings on VS dial looks whiter than that on Clean watch.

The axis of hands on VS, looks like a cap, and it is solid.

This is the axis on Clean.

So, which factory does a better hand axis, your opinion? I think VS makes a better one.

However, on the second hand of VS watch, I found burr. I did not find this issue on the hands of Clean watch. Clean has very good polishing on the hands.

The finish of hands on Clean watch.

On the left, it is VS watch, the right is Clean watch. I noticed that the gap between the crown and case is bigger on VS watch. VS Factory also claims that they make it correct.

About the other parts on the watch, I did not notice difference. Both watches use V3 ceramic bezel, which is the same on VS and Clean. Both factories use the same movement.

VS Factory New Daytona with Increased Weight

Last time, at https://www.susanreviews.com/2025/03/24/vs-factory-heavy-weight-daytona/, I introduced eight models VS Factory has published, each of them has a heavier weight than the regular versions made by Clean or VS. Perhaps these watches have been widely accepted, otherwise VS Factory will not publish some again in such a short period. Just in last week, VS announced that they will published the V2 weighted version of 11xxxx series Daytona, now these watches are available.

To be honest, Clean Daytona is more popular and Clean occupies the most market share in this field, people are more willing to buy a Daytona from Clean. To get a share of the market, BT tried their best effort but now nearly disappeared when competing with Clean, APS and Gold also made a lot of weighted Daytona watches, but both has lowered down the prices after the release of weighted Daytona from VS. Now, I think the only and biggest competitor for Clean in Daytona is VS.

VS has done two things to catch up with Clean. First, reduce the prices of their Daytona. Second, make the weighted version of Daytona before Clean. I do not know if Clean will make this type of watches in future. The second method I think is more effective.

This Daytona 116519 with grey dial is very hot and is one of the best sellers. Clean has a very high price, VS published the V2 weighted editon of the replica but did not raise the price, the V2 weighted version is even much lower than the one from Clean. The V2 has a weight of 132.9 grams. VS also claimed the case will never have peeling off issue. Check the pictures above, I have compared the dial of VS and Clean, and found the sunburst finish on Clean is more refined, the sunburst finish on VS is more obvious and a bit rough, some reviewers said the sunburst finish on genuine is not like that extremely detailed on Clean, well, I did not have a genuine watch. VS has made a great effort in making the axis of the hands, so I think this is a place better than the Clean Daytona.

The lettering on the dial is much better than before. I do not say they are printings, seem to be not simply printed, these letters stand a bit higher above the main dial.

The Rolex crown on the clasp, Clean does it better.

Now on the case back of these new V2 weighted Daytona from VS, there will be an unqie sticker with factory’s name and an elephant. There is no need to test the accuracy and stability of the movement, it is a reliable clone 4131, otherwise Clean would not change their mind to use this 4131 movement in their products.

VS Factory Replica Rolex Daytona 126519 V2 Weighted Version

There are a lot of new models having been published in our market in recent months, especially the new models from VS Factory that have caught the attention of most watch fans in this field, the Rolex Daytona weighted version from VS has greatly helped VS to challenge the position of Clean Factory in Rolex, and the V4 edition of Omega Seamaster No Time to Die with the latest super clone 8800 movement from VS will be available soon, I think it will be available in next week, this is a great news for Omega watch fans, because the replicas of Omega Seamaster Diver 300m finally can be equipped with a super clone 88xx series movement, and this will completely strengthen VS Factory’s dominant position in the market of super clone Omega Seamaster. Now, these super clones are more and more expensive, but what VS Factory has done makes me feel that higher prices are justifiable.

Last time, I introduced the V2 weighted edition of Rolex Daytona replicas from VS Factory, and my conclusion is they are worth purchasing, yes, I still stand by my opinion. There are a lot of factories are making replicas Rolex with heavy weight, like GM, QF, APS, THB, CBD, VVS, WK, etc., some of them use Tungsten-Copper alloy in case, which will cause a risk of case peel off, I heard some friends in this industry said that the case of the Rolex their customers ordered have peeled off. GM is the first factory to make the increased weight Day-Date Rolex in this industry, they used a heavy metal cover above the movement to increase the weight, people seldom complain that the case on GM Day-Date Rolex has the problem of peeling off, but the finish on GM Day-Date Rolex is not as good as other factories. About QF, they have Daytona with increased weight, they increased the length of the bracelet to gain weight, and price is very high, THB Day-Date also does the same to increase the weight. I think there is a cutthroat competition in these factories, too expensive for the DayDate Rolex from THB, which is even higher than the Daytona from Clean and VS, this is not acceptable.

The following pictures show you the comparison between a genuine Daytona and a replica one from VS, which one is real watch if you do not see the back pictures?

The case head of this gray Daytona from VS is about 96.2 grams. The case head of genuine watch is about 99.3 grams. Before, VS Factory claimed that the case head has the same weight as genuine, this is not true, genuine watch’s case is still 3 grams heavier, but this is ok for our watch fans, 3-gram weight is negligible.

The rubber band with clasp on the replicas from VS has a weight of 40.5 grams, while on genuine watch, the rubber band with clasp has a weight of about 64.2 grams. So, the weight difference between the replica and genuine lies in the clasp, there is a difference of 23.7 grams. The clasp can only be made with stainless steel on the replica, and VS factory does not add steel sheet inside the rubber.

Why didn’t VS Factory adopt a certain measure to add that 23.7-gram difference on the case to gain a full weight? Like putting a metal cover inside. If they were to do so, this will greatly affect the wearing comfort.

Besides the weight, there are other two difference, on the back of the lugs, the engravings look more clean and refined on genuine watch. The sunburst finish on the genuine dial also more obvious.

Movements

In the past five years, whether in material, finish or movement, the replica watch industry has made a big huge progress, do you agree?

Today, I will give a brief introduction of the movements used in the super clones. These movements were different from the ones used in the replicas made eight or ten years ago. Now, people are knowledgable in this field, they know every factory, their background and their famous watches models, they also know which movement is more trusted. The movements in the market are usually made by the movement factories in three places of China, which are Dandong, Shanghai and Hangzhou.

First, the movements from Dandong. Too many, there are 4130, 4131, 3235, etc. Many people know this movement factory because of the 4130 movement firstly used by Noob Factory. Now, the 4130 is being used by a lot of factories, including Clean, VS, BT, New Noob. Dandong 4131 is being used by VS and Clean. The Dandong 3235 is only used by VS Factory. Dandong 4130 is the most successful movement developed in replica watches industry, it is also the most stable chrono movement. It seems like every movement from Dandong is very stable, except the 925 and 938.

The best chrono movement in replicas – Dandong 4130

The two pictures below show the Dandong 3235 movement, also called VS 3235 or Custom VS 3235, it is only used by VS Factory, you can find this movement in their Datejust, 41mm Submariner, Oyster Perpetual, YachtMaster, Sea-Dweller. This is the best clone 3235 movement in the market, known for its high stability and long power reserve that is up to 72 hours.

Best clone 3235 movement- only used by VS

One movement from Dandong should be avoided, that is the 938, which is equipped by the Jaeger LeCoultre Master Ultra Thin Q1372520. This replica is mainly made by two factories, AZ and ZF. Do not buy this watch, this movement will easily have issues during use. Almost every replica of this watch sold by the two factories will have movement issues.

938 movement, developed by APS, we should not buy the replica with this movement.

Another movement from Dandong is also not too stable, it is the 925, which is equipped by Jaeger LeCoultre moon phase. This replica is made by APS and ZF, a very popular watch, but its movement is even not as stable as Dandong 7750.

Replica Jaeger LeCoultre Moon Phase 1368430

SL6000 movement from Dandong. Equipped in the replicas of IWC Portuguese 7 Days PR and Big Pilot, currently used by AZ and ZF. This movement is nice and has a power reserve of more than 50 hours. The Portuguese 7 Days Power Reserve from ZF is also the replica I highly recommend, very classic.

8500 and 8900 from VS Factory, also developed by Dandong. The replicas of Omega Seamaster 150m and Seamaster 600m from VS are using these two movements, which make VS Factory famous all over the world.

P.9000. Only used on Panerai by VS Factory. 8500 and P.9000 these two movements are the cornerstone of development of VS Factory.

Next, let’s talk about the movements from Shanghai. First, it is the SH3135. There are two generations, the first generation has been abandoned, now all watches are using the second generation of SH3135. This movement has the same high stability as that of Dandong 3135.

SH3235. Except VS, other factories are all using this movement, for example, Clean uses this movement in their Datejust, 41mm Submariner and Sea-Dweller. This movement’s stability is ok, but the power reserve is around 45 hours. If you want a Submariner from Clean Factory, I do not suggest you buy the 41mm model, the 40mm Submariner with Dandong 3135 movement is a better choice, it is more cost-efficient.

Shanghai 7750. This is not a very good movement, but it is being widely used in the replica watches. In the past, Z Factory random used Shanghai 7750 and Dandong 7750 in their IWC Portuguese Chrono replica watches, people who got the watch with Shanghai 7750 was unlucky because this movement is not stable.

In the last, it will be a movement from Hangzhou. The movement is 72a0, which is being used in the Datejust and YachtMaster of EWE Factory. EWE modified its look to Rolex 3235. This movement is great, its power reserve is up to 60 hours. The Blancpain 50 fathoms from Z Factory also uses this Hangzhou movement.

VS Factory Heavy Weight Daytona

Just in last week, VS Factory announced that they will produce the heavy weight version of 12xxxx sereis Daytona, now these watches available with seven different models, five models with rubber band, two ice blue Daytona with stainless steel bracelet.

Are these heavy weight Daytona good? My answer is yes. It is not the first time for VS Factory to make the weighted Rolex, do you still remember the 42mm YachtMaster made by them? It is still one of the best-selling super clone Rolex watches, the latest version has come to V3, the weight of that YachtMaster is about 148 grams, which is very close to that of genuine. About the new heavy weight Daytona from VS Factory, please check the pictures I share below, the ones with rubber band, each has a weight of about 138 grams.

Every one who wants to buy the following Daytona may have one concern, will the case of the watch peel off? Will the electroplating layer of the case peel off? VS say no, and I trust them. I think there are a large amount of people who have bought the weighted YachtMaster 226659 from VS in past several years, VS also uses tungsten steel in the case of this watch, but does the case of this watch peel off? There are still no complaint about this on this YachtMaster, every watch fan seems to be very satisfied with the quality. So I trust that VS Factory also has done a good work on the newly released weighted Daytona.

Before VS, both QF and APS have made the weighted 12xxxx series Daytona, another factory named Gold also made the weighted Daytona before, but I do not know if Gold makes the new 12xxxx series Daytona. The version of QF has come to V10, APS Factory also continues to improve the quality, but both watch makers use Shanghai 4131 movement, this is not good, after all Clean has already decided to change to Dandong 4131 movement, which is more recognized. QF Daytona is about 155 grams, APS Daytona is about 151 grams, the inner material is tungsten steel and the outside is wrapped with stainless steel, if not processed well, the case will become darken as time goes by and some even peel off. The weight of the VS Daytona, you can see below, is about 138 grams, which is still about 20 grams lighter than that of genuine watch, but VS Factory claims that the case has the same weight as that of genuine, the only weight difference lies in the band and buckle. So, I offer you a solution, you can buy a Daytona from VS, and buy a genuine watch band with buckle to replace on, and finally you will get a perfect watch.

I do feel happy when seeing the new weighted Daytona coming out from VS, this is a great chance for them to win more market share in competing with Clean. The price they offered is also very reasonable, it is almost the same price as the Clean Daytona with regular weight, you know, the weight of Clean Daytona is about 108 grams.

I have an idea, why VS does not do real white gold or yellow gold wrapping on the case? That will make the case never peel off and won’t cost too much, if they do this, many watch fans would not mind to spend more to get such a super clone.

In the following, I post the pictures of each weighted Daytona of VS.

Does Clean Factory Have an Online Business Website?

No. Do you think they have? Some of you may have searched on google and get some results with “clean” name on the website address, but none of these websites are opened by Clean. Clean Factory has been in this industry for a lot of years, they have a much bigger business than before and need to deal a lot of things each day with their distributors, so there is no need to open a website to earn that little money, by the way, opening a website online will also increase their risk, it is not worth. Some people said they have bought good quality replicas of Day-Date from Clean Factory, but as far as I know, Clean does not make Day-Date Rolex watches. I have checked that website, the Day-Date indeed has “Clean” sticker on the bracelet, but that’s a scammer, those people just wanted to use Clean reputation to earn money, they a lot of watches under the name of “Clean”. At the same time, you can also find a lot of websites of other factories, such as VS, Noob, ZF, they are all fakes.

Next, I will introduce two latest news in the market. First, BBR Factory is back. Just in last week, BBR announced that they will be closed forever, but they just back to the business again with another name BBS. Now you can buy their RM35-01 and Audemars Piguet Royal Oak tourbillon watches.

The second news is that VS is going to produce the heavy weight version of Daytona, please check their promotional copy.

Two new models

First, it is the 24H Le Mans Daytona, made by Clean Factory, actually Clean already announced their plan to make this watch before our new year holiday, now it finally came out. They said the watch has better sunburst finish than the one on Q Factory, well, really necessary to compare them side by side some day, the latest version from QF is V8 and Clean does not have the heavy weight version. On the Clean Le Mans Daytona, the subdial at 9 o’clock is 24-hour chronograph counter like genuine watch, the movement inside is a super clone 4132.

The second new model is Panerai 1518 from VS Factory.

Who is the leader in the market of super clone Rolex Daytona?

I think it is Clean Factory. Just in the beginning of our Chinese New Year holiday, Clean had decided to replace the movement with Dandong 4131 in the 12xxxx series Daytona, few people knew this news at that time, and now in the Clean 126500 Daytona models, the movement has been Dandong 4131, which is exactly the movement used by VS Factory. And for the newly released Daytona, Clean will also use this movement. When the Dandong 4131 firstly came out, I thought VS will become a strong competitor for Clean, because this movement was developed by VS, but now the situation has changed, Clean decides to use the Dandong 4131 movement now, VS lost the only advantage. Since the birth of the Dandong 4131 movement, watch fans seems to have a high recognition with the Daytona made by VS, the 12xxxx series Daytona made by VS must have been more popular than the one from Clean, otherwise, Clean would not change the movement. So, for VS Factory, a major opportunity to catch up with Clean in Daytona area has been lost, the only chance. Several years ago, it is exactly such type of an opportunity that makes the Clean Factory what it is today.

People will say VS Factory has a better price than Clean, but for those who are really looking for super clone Daytona watches, they do not care the price, they do not mind spending $50 or $100 more to get one in better quality. As far as I know, VS Factory not only has a better price, but also send one extra rubber band for each Daytona.

There is no need to mention the other two factories BT and ZF, BT seems to have disappeared, no body talks them now. So today if you are asking me the best place to buy a super clone Rolex Daytona, I will say Clean. Today, I will share some pictures of the new Daytona which Clean Factory just published.

Before posting the pictures of the new Daytona, there is a movement comparison picture I want to share first, the left one is the Shanghai 4131 which Clean used before, now both Clean and VS are using the Dandong 4131 in the right, you can see the difference.

The bezel has correct engravings whose thickness is very close to that of genuine watch. Some watch fans do care the thickness or shape of every letter of the engravings “UNITS PER HOUR”, I think Clean makes the best, VS also has the same finish, this is not the big difference between the two factories.

The hour hand and minute hand have very good polishing finish on the edge, even you check very close, no burr can be found. Every hour makrer also have very smooth edge. Each watch has an unique serial number engraved on the inner bezel.

The dial finish is a big advantage of Clean Daytona, on the three dial pictures above, the sunburst finish on the main dial and small dials is very good. Clean Factory always focuses on the finish of the details.

On the Daytona with black rubber band, the clasp is new, the golden model has Au750 engraving. The extension locking system is more convenient to operate. The full stainless steel Daytona still using the old clasp. By the way, the buckle coming out from the factory is separately put in a plastic bag, not installed on the watch.

VS Factory Replica Panerai Submersible PAM 1543 Ti-Ceramitech

Our new year holiday ended several days ago, now all watch factories have been back to this business, the shipping company also can arrange shipping of packages. At first, before introducing a new Panerai watch, I would like to announce a good news that just came from the market, which is Clean decided to use Dandong 4131 movement in the new 12xxxx series Daytona, and in the Panda Daytona 126500, they already used the Dandong 4130 movement. This is a great news for our watch fans in the beginning of 2025. Because of this, the competition in Daytona between Clean and VS will be more and more fierce.

This Panerai is a new model made by VS Factory. Genuine Panerai PAM 1543 is made with the new Ti-Ceramitech material, but I guess the replica just uses a ceramic case, because it still feels heavy in my hand. The bezel insert and case use the same matt finish, the color looks the same on the bezel and case, the crown lever is titanium made in matt finish. In the past months, VS Factory has published several Luna Rossa Panerai replicas watches.

The dial is white, the hour hand and minute hand look morn modern than that on some old Submersible models, both are skeleton. The small second hand on the subdial at 9 o’clock is red, which enhances the readability of the entire dial. Small date window set at 3 o’clock has a black font in white background, the date font is exactly in the middle of the window.

On the case back, there are correct engravings, but the TORPEDO PIG does not look that clean like that on the genuine. Behind the back, it is a super clone P.900 automatic movement, which is one of the earliest super clone movements used in Panerai by VS Factory.

The band feels very comfortable, the outside nylon keeps a cool looking of the watch, while the back side rubber that contacts your skin will maintain a good wearing comfort.

By the way, please check the lume on the last picture, it is beautiful.

Top Ten Best Sellers in 2024

2024 is an important year both for our watch makers and watch fans, we welcomed a lot of new models that have been made with breakthrough watch-making technology. The absolute protagonists in last year are VS and APS, we do not deny that Clean still occupies the largest market share in Rolex field, but VS has already caught up, and APS indeed brought us many surprises. Hope they can release more super clones in future.

1.Clean Factory V3 GMT-Master II Pepsi

For this GMT-Master II Pepsi, it has been improved by Clean Factory for two times, now the latest version is V3. Upon V2, the biggest improvement lies in its ceramic bezel, it is said that the color has been corrected to look closest to that of genuine, while some persons still like the bezel color on V2, still a bit controversial, however, there are still a large amount of watch fans chose to buy this V3 from Clean. By the way, I also only recommend Clean if you want super clone Rolex GMT-Master.

2.VS Factory Daytona 126500

For the new 12xxxx series Daytona, VS Factory has the best movement, Clean has the most complete collection. Since the last upgrade VS has made on hands of 126500, the sales of their Daytona 126500 suddenly improved. This Daytona 126500 from VS is equipped with a super clone 4131 from Dandong, which is supposed to be better than the Shanghai version used by Clean.

3.Clean Factory Daytona 116518

With a yellow gold case, ceramic bezel and black rubber band, this Daytona is one of the best-selling Daytona replicas from Clean. For the sales of Daytona in the market, Clean still occupies the biggest market share, the competition between VS and Clean in this area is still fierce. Actually, every Daytona made by Clean can be put onto this top ten list, they are really perfect clones.

4.Day-Date Heavy Version

I put this watch here just because the heavy version of Day-Date Rolex is really popular, in the past year, many people were asking the weight of a Rolex they were going to buy. And today in Day-Date field, more and more people are participating in the production of heavy versions of Day-Date Rolex replicas, including GM, QF, K, CBD, THB, etc., customers are also more confused than before. Well, currently I recommend two watch makers, GM and THB. GM is the earliest factory that makes the heavy version, they have price advantage, THB has a high price, but they use super clone 3255, the finish is better.

5.PP Factory Nautilus 5712 V3

The 5712 made by PP or Z has been upgraded to V3, with super clone 240 movement and new clasp. We can see that Nautilus moon phase 5712 from PP is very popular in the market, many dealers provide extra service to upgrade its dial with SW Dial and Hands, just like they do on Nautilus 5711 from 3K.

6.VS Factory Grey Datejust with Jubilee Bracelet

You can buy this Datejust from VS or Clean, both versions are very good. I more recommend Clean version before, but modded watches are very hot today, more people buy this Datejust from VS Factory and then made some modifications, for example, replacing its bezel, dial and hands with the bezel, dial and hands from genuine, this is a great idea, and this won’t cost you too much. The super clone DD3235 movement allows watch fans to to this job.

7.APS Factory RM055

Richard Mille has been very hot in the past two years, APS Factory made big improvements on the RM replicas, especially on the model RM055. This RM055 soon became the best seller in Richard Mille field once being published by APS.

8.APS Factory AP 15407

More AP watches can be put in this position, such as 15400, 15500 and 15720 from APS, but people seemed to be paying more attention to the AP 15407 in past year, since that, APS made a big improvement on the balance wheel of this watch. Many watch fans are still not satisfied yet and seeking for trusted source that could add double working balance wheel, it can be done, but too expensive.

9.QF Daytona Le Mans

QF is the watch maker that produced this Daytona, they provide two versions, regular weight version and heavy weight version. I do not suggest you buy the heavy weight version, because they added extra links to increase the weight. By the way, Clean Factory will also publish the Le Mans Daytona soon.

10.3K Factory Nautilus 5711

This watch deserves a more forward position, it is a very popular watch in modded watch market, many people bought this watch from 3K, replacing its dial, hand and date wheel with SW Dial, Hand and Date Wheel, it seems like more and more people are accepting this modded watch now.

There are a lot of other watches that were also sold very well in the market, especially Rolex watches, there are too many, Submariner, Datejust, Daytona, they can even make a top 10 or top 20, every Rolex coming from VS and Clean should be a super clone, no doubt about this. Every one has their own top 10, I can not include every best seller in this list.
