VSF Tungsten Yacht-Master 42 Replica – 226659 Weighted V3 (150g)

Product Overview For years, collectors loved the look of the Rolex Yacht-Master 42 White Gold (226659) but hated the feel. Stainless steel replicas felt “too light” and cheap compared to the heavy gold original. VS Factory (VSF) has changed the game with the V3 VSF Tungsten Yacht-Master 42 . By mixing heavy Tungsten (Wolfram) into the case construction, this watch offers a substantial, heavy feeling on the wrist that mimics 18k White Gold. Why Buy the Weighted V3 Edition? 1. The “Heavy” Experience (150g) Standard steel replicas weigh about 100-110g. The Genuine White Gold model is around 170g. This VSF Tungsten Yacht-Master 42 weighs in at approximately 150g . Why it matters: When you hand this watch to someone, it doesn’t feel like a toy. It has the density and “heft” of a luxury timepiece. 2. VS3235 Movement Inside is the best movement in the market: the Custom VS3235 . Reliability: It is known for running for years without service. 72H Reserve: True 3-day power reserve, just like the Gen Caliber 3235. 3. Matte Ceramic Bezel The bezel insert is matte black ceramic with raised, polished numerals. VSF has perfected the finishing—it is smooth to the touch and highly scratch-resistant. 4. Oysterflex Comfort It comes on a high-grade Oysterflex rubber strap with a metal core. It includes a functional Glidelock Clasp , allowing you to adjust the size without tools.

FAQ Q: Why is this watch more expensive than normal versions? A: Because of the Tungsten case. Manufacturing a weighted case is much harder and more expensive than standard steel, but it gives the watch a premium, heavy feel that steel cannot match. Q: Is it exactly the same weight as the Genuine? A: Not exactly, but it is much closer. The Gen is ~174g, and this VSF Tungsten Yacht-Master 42 is ~150g. A standard fake is only ~108g. This feels significantly more realistic. Q: Does the gold plating fade? A: No, because this is the White Gold model. The base material is silver-colored Tungsten/Steel, so there is no yellow gold plating to fade or scratch off. It will always look silver. Q: Can I swim with it? A: We recommend caution. While the case is sealed, the Oysterflex strap setup makes it a sports watch, but we advise treating it as splash-proof (30m) to protect the movement.
