VSF DiW Submariner Gradient Green – DLC Black Steel & Carbon Bezel (VS3135)

Product Overview

For those who find standard steel too boring and full carbon too light, this is the perfect middle ground. The VSF DiW DLC Submariner features a full Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) coating, turning the classic Oystersteel into a stealthy black armor.

Paired with the Gradient Green Dial and Carbon Fiber Bezel, this watch offers a rich mix of textures: Matte Black Steel, Marbled Carbon, and Glossy Fumé Dial.

Why Choose the DLC Black Edition?

1. Tough DLC Coating

• The Look: The case and bracelet are finished in a satin Matte Black. It looks tactical, aggressive, and incredibly premium.
• The Tech: DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) is much harder and more durable than standard PVD paint. It resists scratches and fading, ensuring your “Black Watch” stays black.

2. Texture Contrast (Steel vs. Carbon)
The magic of this watch is in the mix of materials.

• The Bezel: The Carbon Fiber Bezel adds a chaotic marble pattern that breaks up the uniform black of the case.
• The Dial: The Gradient Green dial adds a splash of deep color, preventing the watch from looking too flat.

3. Solid Steel Weight
Unlike the 60g carbon version, this watch retains the substantial feel of a steel Submariner (~150g). It feels heavy and quality on the wrist.

4. The Legendary VS3135 Movement
Powered by the Custom Dandong 3135. It allows for genuine parts compatibility and offers the reliability VSF is famous for.

5. FAQ 

Q: Will the black color scratch off?
A: DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) is extremely hard. While it is possible to scratch it if you hit it against a brick wall, it is far more durable than standard paint. For daily wear, it will hold up very well.

Q: Is it heavy or light?
A: It is Heavy. Since the base material is solid 904L steel, it weighs the same as a standard Submariner (~150g), giving it a premium, solid feel.

Q: Can I polish this watch?
A: No. You cannot polish a DLC coated watch, or you will remove the black coating. Clean it with a microfiber cloth and soap water only.

Q: Is the movement modifiable?
A: Yes. Because the internal case dimensions are standard, you can swap in Genuine Rolex parts (Dial, Hands, Crystal, Movement) if you wish to customize it further.
