The replica watch I am going to review is a Panerai made by VS factory, it is a shame that this factory is still closed, currently they do not accept orders, I do not know when they will be back. Fortunately they closed by themselves, not by other special department. I think VS can not re-open their factory in a short period, because I heard that many factories that supply watch parts for VS factory were raided, so this is the main reason why Noob and VS factory can not take orders currently, watch parts are lacked.
Whatever, the PAM 1663 made by VS factory is a very good replica watch, even though I do not like it. Nowadays, modern Panerai watches seem to be more and more weird, a lot of them are more willing to use those new material such as carbotech or fusion material carbon with ceramic, in design, watches look more fashionable, but I see they are more lack of classics that can only be found on these old PAMs. For example, check this PAM 1663, its case is solid Titanium made, while the bezel is forged carbon, I do not think this is a nice combination, it is not my style, the titanium case looks like also having special patterns like carbon, it looks weird to me. However, this is the design style which Panerai adopted in recent years. Case diameter is 44mm, while 14.5mm in thickness, not too thick, plus the special case material, you will feel very light when wearing this watch.
Another selling point on the replica is the movement, which is super clone P.9010, it is developed by VS factory and is one of the best clone Panerai movements, the other famous movements researched by VS factory include super clone P.9000, P.999, etc. I do not know if other watch factories can make such good quality clone Panerai movement in future. The case thickness of this watch is very close to genuine Panerai, I think this is largely due to this super clone movement used in it.
Hope VS factory back to us in a short period, because there are a lot of new models coming soon.
