The highly anticipated Daytona 126500LN Panda Dial from VS Factory has officially landed—and it’s here to set a new standard in the replica Daytona game. Powered by the exclusive Dandong 4131 movement, this 40mm chronograph isn’t just about good looks—it’s about replicating Rolex’s newest Daytona with obsessive attention to detail.
No More Hollow or Bent Hands: The Needle Problem is Solved
Tired of replica Daytonas with warped center pins, bent hands, or scratches out of the box? You won’t find those flaws here. The hands on this VS Daytona are solid, well-formed, and precision-installed. Even under a loupe, they pass the test.
And if you don’t know how to identify a solid pinion? Just look at the tip of the hour and minute hands. If it ends in a clean 90-degree cut, you’ve got the real deal. If it’s overly rounded or sloppily tapered, it’s not from this factory.
The Movement: Real 4131 Clone with Full Function
This isn’t a 7750 movement in disguise. The Dandong 4131 inside this VS Daytona is two-stage adjustable, with working chronograph pushers and accurate subdial functionality. It’s thin. It’s accurate. And it’s reliable.
- Two-stage setting like the real thing (not three like the 7750)
- Chronograph starts, stops, resets smoothly
- Return rate on this movement is among the lowest in the replica industry right now
Slim Profile, Just Like the Original
One of the biggest issues with older Daytona clones was thickness. This VS Daytona is different. It comes in at just 11.9mm thick—nearly identical to the genuine model. Compare that to a 7750 clone which typically sits around 14.5mm, and you’ll feel the difference on the wrist.
Interchangeable Parts with Genuine Models
The level of precision here isn’t just cosmetic. The case set, hands, and other components are compatible with genuine Rolex parts and officially released Dandong 4131s. This makes it not just wearable, but mod-friendly and repairable in ways most replicas are not.
Final Thoughts
If you’re after a Daytona that you can inspect under magnification—and still feel good about—this is the one. VS Factory’s Panda Dial Daytona with the Dandong 4131 movement delivers where others fall short: form, function, and future-proof compatibility.
