The Milgauss 116400 isn’t as popular as the Submariner or Daytona. Before VS Factory, only GS Factory produced a replica, and few people purchased the replica Milgauss. Occasionally, perhaps two or three people every couple of months would ask me which factory makes the best Milgauss.
Now, I recommend the one made by VS. While I can’t confirm if the finish on the case and bracelet is superior, the movement is definitely better. It is equipped with the clone 3131, which originates from Dandong.
This Dandong 3131 is actually a modified version of the Dandong 3135, with the date module removed. On this VS Milgauss, when you pull out the crown to the first position, you can directly adjust the time, just as you would on the genuine watch.
The Dandong 3135, used in the Submariner by Clean and VS, is known to be very stable. Now, with the date module removed, I believe this 3131 is even more stable.
