VS Factory Replica Panerai PAM 1074 Bronze Watch

Panerai PAM 1074 Replica

It is a new replica watch from VS Factory, in recent weeks, VS and APS are two factories that have published the most new models in the several months just passed. VS Rolex watches are now very hot, and has exceeded the popularity of their Panerai. Today, the new replica I am going to introduce is another bronze watch from Panerai, the latest PAM 1074, which has a bronze case, blue dial and blue leather strap. I still remember that the first bronze Panerai replica watch made by VS factory is PAM 382, which was published in 2018, that watch has been very popular for many years. PAM 382 is 47mm in diameter, but the new PAM 1074 is only 42mm. In recent two years, Panerai seldom made 47mm Submersible watches, most of them are 42mm and 44mm, but I still think that 47mm Submersible is more classic.

PAM 1074 Blue Dial
Panerai 1074 Bronze Replica

I do not like PAM 1074, first, its size is only 42mm, for Submersible of Panerai, I always think that 47mm is in its DNA. Second, the blue dial is not a good color to match the bronze case. The green dial color should be the best color to match a bronze case. So, after PAM 382, I do not think other Panerai watches that made with bronze material will make a success in the watch market.

PAM 1074 Case
PAM 1074 Crown Bridge

The case is totally brushed, it is made with solid bronze with the same crown bridge, the case is only 14.3mm in thickness, not like PAM 382 that is almost 18mm thick. For the bezel, its markers and metal stud are well manufactured, but the pearl at 12 o’clock has a top that looks a little domed, the genuine watch looks to be more like flat. The bronze watch offers the wearer a lot of fun to play, as time goes by, the bronze case will also look different.

Panerai Submersible 1074 Replica

Both dial and leather band are in dark blue color, the small second hand is running on the subdial at 9 o’clock. The leather band contains three layers, but still feels very soft to wear. The crystal back has full engravings on the rim, through the crystal on the center, you can see a super clone P.900 movement, it is the best clone P.900 movement in our market, the decoration on the movement plate is most correct, but the balance wheel is positioned at 7 o’clock, while the balance wheel of genuine watch is at 6 o’clock. By the way, VS factory will send one pair of blue rubber band for free.

VS Factory Replica Panerai Submersible PAM 1226 with P.900 Movement

Panerai PAM 1226 Replica

I like Panerai, it is the first watch I want to buy but too expensive, among all military-style watches, I only want one Panerai, a lot of celebrities in China also choose to wear Panerai even the hotness of Panerai has dropped a lot abroad. Since the December of 2022, VS factory has published a lot of new Panerai replica watches, but it seems like few people are buying replicas of new Panerai, while the most classic models are still those Panerais made by VS factory in the past, such as PAM 441, PAM 438, PAM 382, etc., they like them more. Because of being raided before, now VS factory is clear about the risk, they are very careful and won’t keep too much stock.

This new Panerai replica watch is PAM 1226 from VS factory, it has a 44mm case diameter, this case is already very large, but I still prefer the Submersible in 47mm. The case has a thickness up to 17mm, so I think the 47mm diameter is a better fit for the 17mm thickness, I still can not figure out why Panerai adopts 44mm case on most of the newly unveiled Submersible watches. For all 44mm Submersible, this PAM 1226 looks more fresh and clean due to its white face, the stainless steel case is a good fit for the white face, the green rubber band on the watch is not a regular match but it still looks good, perhaps a black rubber band looks better, you can order one extra band to try.

The finish by VS is quite satisfactory, since I have been in this industry, I have not received people’s complaints about the finish of VS’s Panerai, on this new replica PAM 1226, the brushing on the case and bezel is nice, you can not judge from the pictures, you need to feel the finish with your hands, feel the case edge and corner. The lume pearl on the bezel has a blue light, it does not look as strong as the lume on the dial. The bezel and dial are good, but are they perfect? No, there are still some shortcomings if you check carefully, but VS has not improved the quality of their Panerai replica watches for years, they have monopolized the Panerai market, everyone goes for VS if you need a Panerai, so, they have lost the motivation to improve the quality continuously.

PAM 1226 Crown Bridge
PAM 1226 Case Back

Inside the solid case back, there is a super clone P.900 movement, which is automatic, the movement is good enough, the case is too thick so the entire watch of all Submersible is thick. VS also has not done improvements on the movements of their Panerai for a long time, but there is a shortcoming on the movement used by Submersible replica, that’s the short power reserve, some clients have complained that the small-second hand suddenly stops when they forgot to wind the watch some day. If VS can do certain improvements on the movement again, their Panerai replica will be close to be perfect.

VS Factory Replica Panerai PAM 1039 Submersible Luna Rossa GMT with Clone P.9011

Replica Panerai Submersible Luna Rossa GMT

In recent weeks, many new models were published in our market, from VS factory, there are PAM 1056 and PAM 1118, for Rolex, Noob just unveiled their V11 Submariner and V4 Daytona, I am so excited, especially hearing that some factories released the updated versions of their star products, like Noob. For those new Panerai watches, I do not like them all, they are all too big for me, and most of them are made of forged carbon, I do not like, the Panerai I most want is stainless steel model, which looks more classic and more suitable for daily wearing.

Replica Panerai PAM 1039

PAM 1039, the new Panerai Submersible, comes from VS factory, like other Luminor Submersible, PAM 1039 is also very big, it is 47mm in case diameter, the case thickness is up to 16mm. Fortunately, the watch is made of forged carbon material, so it has a light weight, not heavy like some Submersible watches that are made with ceramic or Titanium. Both case and bezel are forged carbon made, with unique carbon textures.

PAM 1039 Dial

The dial is unique, I do not know what material the dial is made of, it looks like a cloth and very dirty, I do not like it. Both hour and minute hands are skeletonized and have white lume coating on the tip. The central GMT hand has a bright arange end, which matches the orange small seconds hand at 9 o’clock. Like hands, the hour markers are surrounded with black frame and have white luminous coating in the middle.

PAM 1039 Carbon Case

Behind the solid case back, it is VS factory’s Super Clone P.9011 movement, whose plates and auto rotor have been decorated to outlook of genuine Panerai P.9011 Calibre, the clone P.9011 also has real GMT function, it looks very close to real P.9011 in outlook, maybe one flaw on that movement is its power reserve, which is not as long as that on genuine watch.

PAM 1039 Case Back

PAM 1039 is a special edition made for a special sports activity, maybe it is not the best choice for many people who love Submersible. So, there are other choice recommended like PAM 683, PAM 961, PAM 960, PAM 1616, PAM 382, they are all perfect Submersible Panerai replicas from VS factory.

VS Factory Replica Panerai PAM 959 Submersible 42mm with Super Clone OP XXXIV

Replica Panerai PAM 959

It is all Submersible models among the latest PAMs published in 2019. These Submersibles seem to more like using new materials such as forged carbon, Panerai also added new blue and green color choices in these Submersible models. In recent years, the biggest change which Panerai has made on their Submersible is to reduce the size, from 47mm to 42mm. This change allows more people to choose the big Panerai as their diving-style watch, for me, the 42mm case diameter, plus the crown bridge, the Submersible is still too large.

Today, the Panerai watch I am going to share with you guys is a 42mm Submersible, whose reference is PAM 959, it is the newest PAM which Panerai added to their family at 2019 SIHH. It is first time for me to see a PAM on which Panerai is willing to use such a bright color, previous PAMs from Submersible must be black ceramic or black forged carbon. Like genuine watch, the replica from VS factory uses a blue ceramic bezel, which immediately caught my eyes. 42mm case is only 14.5mm in thickness, much thinner than other Submersible watches. Both case and studs on the bezel are brushed.

The dial looks very unique, it is in shark grey color. Actually it is uncomfortable for me to see such a color combination on a watch, blue with grey. What is exact material of the dial, it seems to have a grain texture on the surface. While the small dial at 9 o’clock has a smooth face, with a small blue seconds hand. Like other Submersible, PAM 959 also has round dot hour markers that are filled with white luminescence in the center. There are two different lume light emitting from the watch when in dark conditions, bezel pearl and minute hands are blue, hour markers, hours hand and small dials are green. By the way, the replica uses SuperLuminova C3 on markers and hands, this luminous material has a stronger and longer-lasting lume effect than other lume materials.

The replica watch is driven by a Super Clone OP XXXIV automatic movement, together with Super Clone P.9000, both are custom made calibres from VS factory. What does a Super Clone movement mean? I think it is superiorer to those movements which watch manufacturers just added fake plates on top of basic Chinese movements. The Super Clone OP XXXIV is researched and developed according to genuine Panerai OP XXXIV, I do not know how close this clone movement is to an original, maybe there still a large gap, fortunately PAM 959 has a solid case back, so, no chance left for those “watch experts” to know if it is a fake watch.

PAM 959 Case Back

Those Panerai watches worn on the people’s wrist in the street, nine out of ten are fakes. This means that the quality of replica Panerai watches becomes better and better, especially the ones made by VSF, some are even difficult for an expert in the boutique to tell whether they are fakes or real. So, many people prefer a Panerai when they are considering their first replica, and they will never regret after purchasing from VS factory.

VS Factory Published The New Military Green PAM 961

Replica Panerai PAM 961

Nearly the end of 2019, there are finally some new Panerai replica watches that could catch my attention, absolutely these new PAMs are coming from VS factory, which makes the best replicas of Panerai. These new Panerai replicas are almost Submersible models that are made of CarboTech, which is a new Panerai composite material, or Titanium. New Panerai Submersible models include PAM 979, PAM 1616, PAM 799, PAM 984, etc., they are in big 47mm or smaller 42mm. Whatever, in my opinion, these new replicas of Panerai Submersible are important supplement to our replica Submersible collection because a lot of popular replicas of Luminor Submersible have been out of stock for a long time except PAM 382. For watch fans who love Panerai’s 47mm Luminor Submersible, these new PAMs are good choices.

Replica Panerai PAM 961 CarboTech

As an official timer for the Italy Navy for many years, Panerai has always been one of the most favorite brands for many military watch fans, besides Luminor Submersible, each model in other Panerai’s collection also has a considerable water resistant depth, so if you want a diver’s watch with military watch’s DNA in it, then you must consider Panerai.

Now back to the Submersible replica watch we are going to review, it is a green PAM with reference PAM 961, the replica watch is made by VS factory. Genuine watch is a limited edition model and only has 33 pieces, while you have a chance to get a good replica in our market. Actualy the green PAM 961 has a brother, which is PAM 979 which we introduced in another post. PAM 979 is a regular model and may be accepted by more people because of its black color.

Replica Panerai Marina Militare PAM 961

For those who like military watch with green color, PAM 961 is an ideal choice. Like PAM 979, the replica PAM 961 is also made with CarboTech material. In Panerai’s official website, they said CarboTech is a composite material based on forged carbon, we do not know how the CarboTech is completed with forged carbon, but it is indeed lighter than Titanium and stronger than stainless steel, however, I think the replica uses pure forged carbon material, not the real CarboTech composite like VS factory claimed.

VSF Replica PAM 961

We can see that both case and bezel are made of forged carbon, there are unique patterns on the surface that make this watch look more special. The bezel pearl is fully filled with luminescence that looks green, the top of the pearl is smooth and flat, there is no gap between the steel edge and the lume pearl. On the solid case back, it is a logo of COM.SUB.IN. in the center.

PAM 961 Carbon Bezel

Black carbon dial has green dotted hour markers, central hours hand and minutes hands are skeletonized, they are also applied green Superluminova C3. In the dark, the watch still has a high readability, because the lume is so strong and long lasting. The bezel pearl and minutes hands will emit blue lume light, while the hours hand and hour markers have green lume light.

PAM 961 Carbon Dial

Behind the case back, the replica is driven by a Super Clone P.9000 movement. It is saying “P.9010” on the movement plate, while the replica is actually powered by VS factory’s famous Super Clone P.9000 automatic movement. This movement is independently developed VS factory, they tore down the entire genuine P.9000 and then made every component, the factory said that even a watch expert can not tell it is a fake P.9000, but I do not think so, the decoration on the movement plates, the power reserve, they are all not good enough. I think the best cloned movement in our market are Noob Super Clone 3135 and 4130.

PAM 961 Green Rubber Strap

The replica uses a military green rubber band, yes, a good complement to the green color of the dial. I think the factory should also offer a green nylon band for this watch. We know that Panerai is the flagship product of VS factory in the past, but in 2019, VS put more effort in making Omega, the result is, the number of good quality Omega replica watches from VS has exceeded that of their Panerai. Despite this, some special Panerai model which VS factory unveiled is still able to leave us a deep impression, like this PAM 961.

VS Factory Replica Panerai PAM 799 CarboTech Submersible Titanium Watch with Super Clone P.9010

Replica Panerai PAM 799

The latest Panerai replica watches published by VS factory are all CarboTech Submersible, they are PAM 979, PAM 1616 and PAM 616. Among them, PAM 979 and PAM 1616 were published by Panerai in 2019, while PAM 616 replica was firstly made by VS factory in 2017, but they just made improvement and unveiled the V2 edition. Today, I want to show you another Panerai CarboTech Submersible watch, it is PAM 799.

Like other CarboTech Submersible, PAM 799 also has a large case, which is up to 47mm in diameter. Different from PAM 979 and PAM 1616, the case of PAM 799 is made of Titanium material, only the bezel uses forged carbon. Titanium case is fully brushed, it is a bit thick, almost 16mm, I do not know how thick the genuine watch is, may be much thinner. Please check the watch from side, the bezel adds a huge thickness to the case, we can see that the studs are bit higher above the bezel, while the crystal is completely in the same horizontal line with the bezel, this is the same as genuine watch.

Replica Panerai Submersible PAM 799

The dial is black, the blue color we see on hour markers and hands is actually one type of luminous material, it is fully filled in these hour markers so that the dial will have a strong and long-lasting lume light in dark conditions. The dial is simple but you still can find some flaws, check carefully on these hour markers, some or maybe one of them is not fully filled with the luminous coating, you can see tiny gap. The small second hand on the subdial at 9:00 is absolutely running smoothly.

Replica Panerai CarboTech Submersible Titanium

Inside the case back, it is a Super Clone P.9010 movement independently developed by VS factory. About this movement, I have talked too much about it, in outlook, it looks completely the same as genuine P.9010 Calibre, even the balance wheel is set in right position at 7 o’clock. In function, the clone movement still can not have the same power reserve as original, you have been already very lucky if the watch you bought can run an entire day without winding.

Actually, the gap between replica and genuine is still big, even there are many quality replica watches, we have to face the truth that replica can not be made 100% the same as original.

Here in our replica watch field, we call all Panerai Depth Gauge “Tuna Can”, which symbolizes hardness, solidness and roughness. This is the exact meaning all Panerai diving watches transfer to us.
