Review: The VSF Rolex Submariner 126610LV “Starbucks” with Dandong 3235 Movement
When it comes to the Rolex Submariner 126610LV “Starbucks”, there is one factory that stands above the rest: VS Factory (VSF). Why is the VSF version considered the market leader? It comes down to two critical factors: the material accuracy and the legendary movement inside.
The Heartbeat: Custom Dandong 3235 Movement
The biggest selling point of this Super Clone is what you cannot see from the outside. Inside this watch beats the Custom Dandong 3235 Automatic Movement. Unlike cheaper “modified ETA” clones, the Dandong 3235 is built from the ground up to match the architecture of the genuine Rolex Calibre 3235.
Why does this matter?
- True 72-Hour Power Reserve: Just like the genuine model, you can take this watch off on Friday evening and put it back on Monday morning, and it will still be running. Most other replicas only last 30-40 hours.
- Stability: The Dandong movement is famous for its low failure rate and precise timekeeping.
- Operation: The winding direction and time-setting feel are identical to the genuine reference.
Material: Solid 904L Oystersteel (No Plating)
The genuine 126610LV is a rugged tool watch made of stainless steel, and so is this VSF Super Clone. There is no gold plating or platinum wrapping on the case or bracelet to worry about wearing off. The entire watch is crafted from solid 904L Oystersteel.
This specific steel alloy is harder and more corrosion-resistant than the standard 316L steel used in lesser replicas. The brushing texture is incredibly fine, and the weight matches the genuine specific gravity. It feels substantial and premium on the wrist, capable of handling daily wear without losing its luster.
The “Starbucks” Bezel & Crystal
The “Starbucks” nickname comes from the vibrant green Cerachrom bezel paired with the black dial. VSF has mastered this color tone. The green ceramic insert is clean and vivid. The graduation markers are coated with PVD platinum dust (just like the Gen) to ensure they remain bright white and legible, preventing the “darkening” issue seen on cheaper versions.
Furthermore, VSF is famous for its Sapphire Crystal clarity. The Cyclops lens (date magnifier) features the correct “Black Hole” effect, offering crystal-clear visibility of the date wheel without annoying reflections.
Final Verdict
If you are looking for the absolute best version of the 126610LV currently available on the market, the VSF version with the Dandong 3235 movement is the undisputed king. It offers the correct aesthetics, the correct weight, and most importantly, the correct movement performance.
