Introduction: In the field of high-end watches, Rolex is highly respected for its excellent craftsmanship and design. Recently, VS Factory launched its newly upgraded V3 counterweight version Rolex Platinum Yacht, model m226659-0002, aiming to provide watch lovers with a wearing experience closer to the original. The following is a detailed evaluation of this V3 Ultimate Edition Platinum Yacht.
- Accurate matching of weight and size VS Factory has made fine adjustments to the weight and size of this platinum yacht. The weight of the whole watch reaches 148 grams, which is closer to the original weight compared to the 137 grams of the V2 version. The diameter of the watch is maintained at 42 mm and the thickness is 11.8 mm, ensuring the comfort of wearing and the appropriate sense of proportion.
- Exquisite appearance craftsmanship VS Factory continues to maintain high standards in appearance craftsmanship. The watch mirror uses sapphire glass to provide clear visual effects. The dial uses pure black lacquer, and the font printing is three-dimensional and full, showing the fineness of oil pressure printing technology. The rounded chamfering of the scales, as well as the cleaning of the center axis and pointers, all reflect VS’s ultimate pursuit of details.
- Upgrade of the case and movement The case is the focus of this upgrade. VS uses 904 tungsten steel material to improve the texture and durability of the counterweight case. The precious metal imprint on the back is clear, showing respect for details. In terms of movement, VS continues to use its Dandong 3235 movement, which ensures 72 hours of power reserve and accurate travel time.
- Humanized design of strap and buckle The strap is made of fluororubber, which is not only durable but also not easy to get fingerprints. The design of the built-in steel sheet allows the strap to fit the wrist better and is ergonomic. The buckle adopts a folding oyster safety buckle, which opens and closes smoothly. The internal precious metal imprint and code W5T add to its uniqueness. The quick adjustment function of the buckle provides users with a convenient wearing experience.
Summary: VS factory’s V3 weighted Rolex Platinum Yacht has demonstrated its unremitting pursuit of quality and details in many aspects. From the weight matching to the fine craftsmanship of the appearance, to the stable performance of the movement, and the humanized design of the strap and buckle, it provides users with an excellent wearing experience. This watch is undoubtedly a wonderful tribute to the classic design of Rolex.
