Introduction to the Watch
Recently, I had the chance to own a timepiece from a highly knowledgeable source in the watch market. I must commend her expertise in sourcing high-quality timepieces that closely mimic their originals. I acquired a Rolex DJ41 featuring a sunburst blue dial and an oyster bracelet. The production was by VSF. I must say, the external dial and bracelet were replicated with outstanding accuracy.
Design and Build Quality
The attention to detail was evident in the date window and cyclops. Often, factories miss the mark with elements like the date font or magnification, and some like Noob still lack proper AR coating on the date window. In the case of the VSF DJ41, the date window was flawless. The sunburst blue dial was impressively close to perfect. The LEC coronet on the dial glass was executed correctly by this factory. The bracelet quality was nearly perfect, crafted from 904L stainless steel. Notably, the fluted bezel on this DateJust 41 had the correct width, unlike many others that tend to be too thick. The sparkle on the flutes mirrored that of genuine 18ct white gold. Moreover, the case thickness accurately matched that of the original, a feature often mishandled by other factories.
Movement and Features
As for the clasp quality, it mirrored the original, where the Oyster bracelet includes the folding Oysterclasp with the Easylink 5 mm comfort extension link. It's crucial to note the direction of the hour and minute hands during time setting. In the new 3235 movement, both hands move clockwise when the crown is wound anti-clockwise. The meticulous attention to these details was evident throughout the process. She carefully managed the order and quality check, never compromising on standards. I have confidence she will continue to secure top-notch timepieces for me, even if it takes longer than usual. I always allow her the time needed to select the right watch.
Conclusion
I am incredibly grateful for her dedication.
