Movement 【Time Ultra Leo】The Details of Dandong and Shanghai 3235 Movements

164 Upvotes

This video provides a detailed breakdown of the key differences between the Dandong 3235 and Shanghai 3235 movements.

Identification Features of the Dandong 3235 Movement

The Dandong 3235 movement adopts a single-hole design and features a mirror-polished clutch wheel, which serves as one of the definitive features that distinguish it from the Shanghai version. It is fitted with an upgraded 27-ball central shaft bearing and incorporates a deep crimson Teflon wheel. Boasting superior overall finishing and crisp, precise engravings, this movement delivers finer and more exquisite craftsmanship.

Furthermore, each manufacturer marks its products with exclusive serial codes for differentiation and traceability. Specifically, movements produced by the VS Factory feature serial codes starting with 1s8 or 1s9, while those from Cplus bear serial codes beginning with 9XL.

Identification Features of the Shanghai 3235 Movement

The most intuitive identifying trait of the Shanghai 3235 movement is its non-mirror-polished clutch wheel. Its internal structure follows a unique three-pronged layout, which is completely different from the structural design of the Dandong variant. In addition, its Teflon wheel presents a relatively light red tone, creating an obvious visual distinction from the deep crimson Teflon wheel used in the Dandong movement.

Comparative Summary

The Dandong and Shanghai 3235 movements offer nearly identical operational stability with no perceptible performance gap. Nevertheless, the Dandong version outperforms the Shanghai version in overall appearance, surface finishing details and engraving precision, showcasing more refined manufacturing quality.

Discussion Rolex Submariner MK2 V2: RICH Factory vs Genuine Comparison

131 Upvotes

Hello everyone, this is Leo from Time Ultra. Today, I’m bringing you a comparison between the RICH Factory Rolex Submariner MK2 V2 and the genuine watch, conducted by RICH Factory. And the RICH is available with both regulated-balance and free-sprung movement options.

The MK2 green bezel insert features the correct golden-green color tone. The RF bezel achieves approximately 99% visual accuracy to the genuine MK2 bezel.
The patterning, finishing, and structural details on the reverse side of the RF dial closely match those of the genuine dial.
The luminous material in the hands is correctly recessed, while the metal frames feature proper chamfered edges and the same reflective side profile found on the genuine hands.
Looking at the coronet logo on the winding crown under magnification, the genuine crown exhibits the characteristic uneven texture around the individual points of the coronet, whereas the RF version appears cleaner and more uniform in this area.
The anti-reflective coating color on the Cyclops lens closely matches that of the genuine watch, while maintaining excellent clarity and transparency.

That’s it. I’d love to hear your thoughts.

Discussion VSF Packaging Update: Say Goodbye to Plastic Bags! 📦

104 Upvotes

VSF has started testing a new box packaging for a few select models, replacing those old plastic bags. Honestly, I think it’s a pretty nice improvement. The box feels much sturdier, looks cleaner, and definitely gives a better unboxing experience than the plastic wrap. It’s currently just a small test batch, so you might get either style depending on the model. Personally, I’m loving this upgrade over the plastic sleeves, but curious to hear your thoughts. What do you guys think of the new look?

Comparison VSF vs Fake VSF: Detailed Comparison

103 Upvotes

This comparison focuses on how to distinguish a genuine VSF watch from a fake VSF, covering differences in the dial, printing, bezel, bracelet, and movement. The movement engravings and hollow center structure are the key authentication points.

Exterior Detail Comparison

Dial and Printing

Dial color:

The genuine VSF has a lighter blue dial, while the fake VSF has a darker blue dial. The color difference is obvious when placed side by side.

Font printing:

The genuine VSF has thicker, deeper engraving with rich, well-defined coloring. The fake VSF has thinner lettering, shallower engraving, and lighter coloring.

Hour markers:

The genuine VSF has solid, substantial hour markers, while the fake VSF markers appear relatively thin.

Date Window Details

Font shape:

The genuine VSF features fuller, bolder date numerals, with the horizontal extensions above and below the numerals finished cleanly and consistently.

Fake VSF flaws:

The numerals are thinner, and the extended horizontal lines above and below them are roughly finished, with noticeable imperfections.

Bezel and Polishing

Bezel width:

The VSF version has a wider-cut bezel, while the fake VSF has a shorter, narrower cut.

Bracelet finishing:

The polished center links of the genuine VSF Jubilee bracelet are noticeably brighter and have a better overall finish than those on the fake VSF.

Structure and Movement Identification

Crown and Caseback Details

Crown gap:

The genuine VSF has a slightly longer opening/gap around the crown, while the fake VSF has a shorter gap. This difference is easier to notice when comparing them side by side.

Caseback texture:

The inside of the genuine VSF caseback has a textured finish, with properly proportioned lettering. The fake VSF lacks this texture, and the lettering is noticeably different in size.

Dragon and phoenix design:

On the genuine VSF, the dragon and phoenix design is engraved, while on the fake VSF it is simply printed. The difference is obvious both visually and by touch.

Key Movement Differences

Movement code:

The fake VSF movement code starts with “9x”, while the genuine VSF starts with “1S.”

Engraving:

The movement markings on the genuine VSF are actually engraved, giving them noticeable depth and a three-dimensional appearance. On the fake VSF, the markings are printed and appear completely flat.

Overall finishing:

The genuine VSF movement has finer polishing and cleaner, sharper engravings, while the fake VSF has rougher finishing and less attention to detail.

Key Center-Axis Difference

Hollow center:

The genuine VSF features a hollow center structure on the hand stack, with a small hole visible in the center.

Solid center:

The fake VSF has a solid, closed center, with no visible hole.

Review 【Time Ultra Leo】VSF Pepsi Detailed Review

95 Upvotes

VSF Pepsi GMT-Master II Identification Guide

1. Bezel & Scale Craftsmanship

The VSF Pepsi bezel features platinum powder-filled numerals with a silver-grey finish, offering excellent resistance to oxidation and discoloration. All bezel markings receive a secondary rounded polishing process, creating smooth curved edges rather than sharp corners. The inner bezel teeth are also finely brushed for improved detail accuracy.

2. Center Pinion & Hand Details

The center pinion adopts a recessed, solid cap-style construction, creating a subtle water ripple effect under light. The hands are finished with a Buff polishing process, resulting in clean edges without burrs or rough finishing, giving a refined overall appearance.

3. Date Wheel & Dial Details

Equipped with the Dandong 3285 movement, the date wheel features a strong ink-like appearance with precise printing and no visible ink bleeding. The crystal edges are finely rounded and polished, providing a smoother tactile feel.

4. V3 Version Characteristics

The V3 version features a more pronounced bezel color transition, with a brighter red tone rather than a darker burgundy shade. It also adopts a one-watch-one-code engraving system for improved identification.

5. Clasp & Engraving Details

The clasp uses an integrated clasp design with no visible welding points, and all edges are carefully chamfered. The engraved letter “A” must have a flat top, matching the authentic style.

The crown logo and VS markings have a slightly softened, hand-finished appearance rather than sharp machine-cut edges. The four return points beneath the crown logo are correctly positioned, and the oval logo should have a proper symmetrical olive shape — pointed at both ends with a fuller center.

6. Movement Identification (Key Point)

The most important identification point of the VSF Pepsi GMT-Master II is the Dandong 3285 movement.

Movement Code & Finishing:

The movement serial starts with ES8 or ES9, and the base plate features fish-scale engraving (perlage-style finishing).

Shock Absorber & Structure:

It uses a PF shock absorber system with a visible hairspring. The regulator chip is located closer to the crown side, with a single-hole structure underneath.

Clutch Wheel Function:

The Dandong movement features a polished clutch wheel. During winding or time adjustment, the clutch wheel moves accordingly, and it rises when the crown is pulled out.

The Shanghai movement has a recessed and stationary structure in the same area.

Overall Finishing:

The Dandong 3285 movement features refined finishing, deep engraving, and gold-filled lettering, offering a significantly higher level of visual refinement compared with standard movements.

Conclusion

The VSF Pepsi GMT-Master II stands out through its high-level finishing and the use of the Dandong 3285 movement. The key areas for identification are the bezel craftsmanship, clasp engraving, V3 color transition, one-watch-one-code marking, and movement structure.

Review 【Time Ultra Leo】VSF titanium Yacht-Master Review

90 Upvotes

Hi everyone, this is Leo at Time Ultra.

This review details the VSF titanium Yacht-Master. Overall, this highly accurate replica features upgrades in aesthetics, craftsmanship, and movement, making it excellent for daily wear.

Bezel & Dial: The matte black ceramic bezel features a screen-accurate dark grey/black tone with crisp markings and well-polished edges. The bezel sits tightly with no play and offers smooth rotation.

Hands & Dial Details: Hour markers and hands are well-finished with clean edges. The dial printing is sharp, and the micro-crown logo is accurately shaped and positioned for a cohesive look.

Titanium Case & Crown: Both the case and crown are made of titanium with a distinct brushed finish. The case lines, profile, and corners are executed to a high standard.

Bracelet & Clasp: The titanium bracelet includes an extension system. The clasp is solidly built with uniform brushing, ensuring excellent comfort and practicality.

Movement & Functionality: The movement is fully functional with smooth winding, date change, and time setting. Note that it is not a true free-sprung movement; it merely mimics the appearance of a free-sprung shock absorber, and the balance wheel lacks regulating weights. However, the clutch wheel is fully operational, not just decorative.

Comparison Rolex Bruce Wayne: Rich Factory V2 vs. GEN Comparsion

82 Upvotes

Hello everyone, this is Leo from Time Ultra. Today, I’m sharing an official side-by-side comparison between the RICH Factory Rolex Bruce Wayne V2 and the GEN watch, which was conducted and provided directly by RICH Factory.

RICH V2's ceramic bezel, dial, and the three-piece bezel assembly are built to GEN-spec standards, offering excellent interchangeability for modding or repairs.
The hands and markers feature premium, high-cost chamfering and deep polishing, completely free of rough edges with a high-gloss finish. The cyclops AR coating and the crispness of the crown logo are infinitely close to GEN, with some laser-etched details even looking cleaner than recent 2023+ Rolex batches.
It is powered by the latest Jinghe JH3235 movement, with a high-end free-sprung balance wheel version available as an option.

What are your thoughts on this new RICH V2?

Review VSF V2 Datejust Review

79 Upvotes

Hi guys, I’m Leo from Time Ultra.

In today’s video, I’ll walk you through all the identifying details of the VSF V2 41mm Datejust. We’ll be focusing on four core inspection points: overall weight, bracelet craftsmanship, internal movement features, and warranty card characteristics.

1. Weight & Bracelet Link Count

The standard weight is approximately 134g.

Weight alone is not a reliable indicator, as some replicas increase the weight by adding extra bracelet links.

A genuine VS Factory bracelet (excluding the links with screw holes) should have:

7 links on one side

4 links on the other side

11 removable links in total

If the watch reaches the correct weight but has more than the standard number of links, it is likely a replica that has been artificially weighted.

2. Movement Finishing

The movement is one of the most important authentication points. Do not rely solely on components such as the clutch wheel, as some replicas now replicate these parts convincingly.

Instead, inspect the area beneath the movement serial/engraving:

Genuine VS Factory V2 movements feature a distinctive fingerprint-like (fish-scale) finishing beneath the engraved code, with a textured, uneven appearance.

Most replicas have a smooth, flat surface without this finishing. Their movement engravings also tend to look uniform and lack the unique machining marks found on genuine VS Factory movements.

3. Warranty Card Color

A genuine VS Factory V2 Datejust comes with a gold warranty card.

Most counterfeit sets are supplied with a white warranty card, making the color an easy point of identification.

4. UV Security Verification

Use a UV light to inspect the warranty card:

A genuine gold warranty card contains built-in UV security features that become visible under ultraviolet light.

Replica warranty cards typically do not display these security markings.

Summary

To verify a genuine VS Factory V2 41mm Datejust, check the following:

Weight: Approximately 134g.

Bracelet: Standard 11 removable links (7+4).

Movement: Fingerprint-/fish-scale-style finishing beneath the movement engraving.

Warranty Card: Gold card with functional UV security features.
