VSF Rolex Explorer 40mm (Ref. 224270)
The definitive 40mm field watch, featuring the industry-leading VS3230 movement with a true 72-hour power reserve.
Powered by The VS3230 Super Clone
The heart of this replica is what sets VSF apart. The VS3230 is a true “No-Date” movement. Unlike cheaper versions that use a modified date movement (leaving a “ghost” date click position on the crown), this mechanism mirrors the genuine architecture perfectly.
- ✅ Power Reserve: Tested 70-72 hours (Weekend Proof).
- ✅ Functionality: True “Ghost-Free” Crown Setting (only 2 positions: Winding and Time Set).
- ✅ Reliability: Paraflex shock absorber architecture for enhanced stability.

VSF Clarity

🏆 Why We Chose VSF for this Model?
Many clients ask: “Why not Clean Factory (CF)?”
Here is the honest truth: While Clean Factory makes an excellent case, VSF wins in terms of Movement Reliability and Crystal Clarity. The VS3230 movement is widely regarded as the most stable clone movement on the market, offering a massive 72-hour power reserve that Clean’s VR3230 sometimes struggles to match consistently. For a daily wearer like the Explorer, engine reliability is paramount.
Full Disclosure: The Oyster bracelet clasp on the VSF can feel slightly “stiffer” to open/close compared to the Genuine when brand new, but it loosens up nicely with wear.

Common Questions about the Explorer 40
Q: Is this VSF version waterproof?
A: Out of the box, it is sealed for basic daily use (splash/rain proof) due to the Twinlock crown. However, we strongly recommend a professional pressure test before swimming.
Q: How does the VS3230 compare to the Genuine 3230?
A: It features the same 70-hour power reserve and setting direction. Crucially, it has no “ghost date” position—when you pull the crown, there are only two clicks (winding and time setting), exactly like the genuine.
Q: What is the biggest difference compared to Gen?
A: Under macro lens, the finishing on the hands (white gold polish) may show minor differences in smoothness, but on the wrist, it is virtually indistinguishable to the naked eye.
