Rolex Air King 40mm Stainless Steel Black Arabic Dial & Smooth Bezel 126900 Replica
🛫 Rolex Air-King 126900 40mm Black Arabic Dial — VS Factory 1:1 Super Clone
When people talk about VS Factory, they usually talk about precision — that quiet, obsessive kind of precision that can only come from experience.
The Rolex Air-King 126900 is one of the watches where VS Factory truly proves it’s not just a clone maker — it’s a craftsman that understands why Rolex matters.
The first time I held this VS Factory Air-King, I didn’t notice the details right away. I noticed the silence. The click of the crown felt heavy, confident. The case, cold and perfectly balanced. Then, under direct light, the black Arabic dial came alive — sharp, deep, and unyielding. This wasn’t imitation; it was understanding.
🕶️ A True Tribute to the Original Air-King Spirit
The Air-King is Rolex’s tribute to aviation — a pilot’s companion designed for clarity and courage.
VS Factory recreates that spirit flawlessly in its 40mm stainless steel case, mirror-polished on the bezel and finely brushed on the lugs.
The black dial features crisp Arabic numerals, finished with true-to-spec font spacing and depth.
Even under magnification, the 3, 6, and 9 markers have that soft metallic luster unique to genuine Rolex dials.
The green seconds hand and gold crown pop in contrast, precisely color-matched through enamel coating, not paint.
This is what separates VS Factory from others: it doesn’t cut corners on color science — it recreates it.
⚙️ Inside the Engine — VS3230 Clone Automatic Movement
The VS3230 automatic movement inside this watch isn’t a random clone. It’s a fully re-engineered system designed to mimic the genuine Rolex Caliber 3230 in both architecture and function.

-

When you wind it, the resistance feels smooth and firm, with that unmistakable Rolex click that only top-tier clones replicate correctly.
🔩 Design & Materials — Built to Feel Real
The 904L stainless steel case, the same alloy Rolex uses, is polished through a 7-step mirror finishing process.
The smooth bezel reflects light evenly without distortion — one of the easiest tells between mid-tier clones and genuine-level craftsmanship.
VS Factory’s case thickness is 100% matched to the original — 11.5mm, no more, no less.
Even the bracelet end links fit seamlessly between the lugs, leaving no visible gaps.
The Oyster bracelet is made from solid 904L links, featuring a brushed surface and polished edges, joined by a folding Oysterlock clasp with Easylink extension.
It doesn’t just look real; it wears real — same weight, same sound, same cold touch on your wrist.

✨ The Feel — When Steel Meets Soul
