I still like this ceramic Panerai replica watch that was released by VS factory in 2021, there are two Panerai replica watches with ceramic case that I like very much, the other one is PAM 441, which has been one of the best sellers for many years, now, fewer and fewer people are interested in buying replicas of Panerai. This Luminor GMT Panerai PAM 1176 replica has a black ceramic case that is brushed, there is blue color used on the crown, small second hand, GMT hand and band, the blue color highlights the whole black watch and attracts more young people. The replica Panerai is equipped with a super clone P.9010 movement, which has been updated by VS factory several times.
We received news that VS factory is preparing to come back to work now, so if you guys need the best Panerai, Omega Seamaster, Submariner 116610LN, Submariner 126610LN, Datejust II, please place your order now, because there must be many orders wating to be processed after VS factory to work, so to avoid being wating for too long before your order is shipped, just pay first and then wait for several days.
PAM 692 replica was made by VS on March, 2020, now it has been a long time since its release, in last year, several Luminor Submersible models were made by VS, most of them are in 47mm and are made with forged carbon material, it seems like Panerai has made some changes on its Submersible line, now these new Submersible watches look more fashionable, they are also more willing to use different materials and more colors on a watch.
On genuine watch, the case is made with Panerai’s BGM-TECH material, not just pure Titanium, while the replica is fully made with Titanium, so I think this is the biggest difference between the replica and genuine PAM 692 – case material is different. I do not think the the biggest difference lies in movement because this Super Clone P.9010 now is very close in outlook to real P.9010 Calibre. Because of case material, the weight of replica PAM 692 may be not the same as genuine watch.
Case back is sold and is engraved with all necessary information which you could find on a genuine PAM 692, including the big torpedo on the center of the back, this torpedo logo is a “big personality” of PAM 692 Submersible. With a small bubble ball, you can open the case back easily, the movement inside is very beautiful, each component is made by watch part factory, according to the dimension of movement compoent of genuine P.9010, I think these replica movement components can be interchanged with genuine movement. The only shortcoming is the replica does not have that long power reserve.
By the way, besides the black rubber strap on the watch, VS factory also offers one pair of blue leather strap for it.
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.
Another top quality replica Panerai watch made with bronze material, in recent years, I have seen too many bronzo watches from different Swiss brands such as Panerai, IWC, Bell & Ross, etc. In the past, I do not know how popular the bronzo watch will be, but after the release of PAM 382 by Panerai, I was shocked, it was very hot and soon was replicated, also became a hot seller in our market, even today, after several years, PAM 382 is one of the best-selling replica Panerai watches. Today, I want to introduce another bronzo watch from Panerai, its reference is PAM 968, with the same case diameter as PAM 382, but I think PAM 968 will be more acceptable than 382.
The case is only 15.5mm thick, which is much thinner than the case of PAM 382. You know, PAM 382 is up to 18mm in case thickness. However, I do not thick the case thickness will affect your wearing, it is an automatic diver’s watch, so, it is very normal if its case is over 15mm thick, besides, many people love such big tool watch, I do not thick this will be a problem for them. The only thing that will affect your decision between PAM 382 and PAM 968 is their dial, you like brown on PAM 968 or green on PAM 382? Maybe for most divers, they will choose the green color. However, VS factory also offers one pair of green rubber straps for PAM 968, this will become a good selling point.
Besides brown dial, the bezel insert is also brown ceramic, which is exactly in line with the brown leather band. Actually, I like this type of leather band, it is wide and thick, but can also provide a great wearing comfort, not every one is willing to choose Panerai Submersible because this diver’s watch is very big, if you have a big wrist size, then Panerai must be a good choice because its big case and wide leather band will perfectly fit you. The Pre-V buckle adds some retro flavor to the entire watch. By the way, seeing from the crystal back, you can not find any obvious flaws on the movement because VS factory changes the balance wheel to correct position.
