The Watch That Changed My Mind About Replicas
I used to laugh when people said they bought high-end replicas. I figured it was just throwing money at something fake. That was until I actually saw one in person. A guy I work with had what looked like a brand new Rolex Submariner on his wrist, and when I complimented it, he told me it wasn’t genuine — it was from VS Factory.

I can totally relate to that. I’ve been into watches for a long time and started buying replicas mainly because I couldn’t justify spending ten grand on something I’d wear to work every day. The problem was, most replicas I tried were inconsistent — one would look great but break in a few months, another would run fine but have bad finishing. That changed when I found VS Factory. I did a ton of research, and I still use https://realvsfactory.com/ whenever I want to check comparisons or updates on their latest models. That’s what I use to keep track of changes in their movements or finishing methods. Their in-house clone calibers are something else — smooth, accurate, and reliable. I’ve got a VS Submariner and a Planet Ocean, both over a year old, and they’ve survived rain, gym workouts, even a few accidental bumps against doors. What stands out is how solid they feel — no rattling bracelets or wobbly crowns. It’s clear they’ve spent years refining every little part. I don’t even think of it as a “fake” anymore — it’s more like a mechanical homage that’s built properly. They’ve set the bar high for everyone else in this space, that’s for sure.
