Bronze Panerai: Detailed disassembly review of the VS Factory Panerai PAM382 replica watch

Comprehensive comparative analysis of the Bronze Panerai and Factory Panerai Pam382 Replica Watch Detailed Insert Examination models: Case finishes, movement precision, dial details and production tolerances are examined in detail with Saat Detective expertise standards.

This is a pretty special Panerai. Bronze material is used throughout the watch, which gives it an aged and nostalgic look. Another feature of bronze is that it constantly oxidizes over time, creating a unique texture on the case. So each 382 is completely unique; This is exactly where its appeal lies. Now let's look at the real photos of the VS Factory version. Sapphire glass is undoubtedly used in the watch glass, its permeability is extremely high.

Case and Body Workmanship

This light green rust layer on the case is popularly called 'bronze rust'; It is a trace of oxidation specific to copper. This watch is PAM00382, Panerai's first generation bronze watch. This colorful bronze rust is the most popular look for this type of bronze watches! Panerai bronze watches are very popular in the market; It was hard to even find one when the first generation officially went on sale, and since then it's caused a huge scramble whenever it appears on the second-hand market.

The bezel engraving is fine, and the teeth and lugs are also very smoothly processed. In the photo you can see that the black texture and marks on the surface are traces of oxidation that the bronze was exposed to at room temperature. These scars become more and more homogeneous over time. That's why the appeal of 382 is that it becomes more beautiful as it is worn; When worn normally without any auxiliary process, it reaches its perfect state in about six months, just like that patina effect on antique prayer beads.

Dial and Hand Details

The dial workmanship is flawless; The writings on the surface are smooth and the lume filler is applied without overflowing.

Movement and Caliber Performance

Let's open the case back and look at the appearance of the mechanism. VS Factory's improved P9000 caliber is used in the movement and the balance position is at 7 o'clock. Even this point is enough to distinguish it from many other factories on the market; because in most other factories the balance is located at or around 5 o'clock, and these are generally based on the 7750 or other movements.

Another method of differentiation is clock adjustment. Only the time setting method of VS Factory's Panerai P9000 and P9001 movements is synchronized with the original. The date cannot be quickly adjusted in the original; To set the date, it is necessary to move the hour and minute hands quickly. The date can be adjusted both forward and backward. This technique is very difficult to overcome; That's why only VS's own V2 version mechanism can achieve this in the market right now.

Now let's look at the mechanism in action. Extremely thin; The writings are also clear and neat. It is very difficult for other factories to compete with VS in terms of mechanism appearance.

Below you can see the dismantled lugs and crown. Their structure is exactly the same as the original and most of the parts are interchangeable with the original.

Since the case back is in constant contact with the body, the bronze material can easily cause allergies, so the same titanium material as the original was used. In addition, the same sapphire material as the watch glass was used for the case back glass.

Strap imported calfskin; The word PANERAI is also embroidered on the pin buckle.

Since you've made it this far, I guess you know this VS Factory bronze Panerai 382 better now. Details determine success; I believe that VS Factory has put a lot of effort into this watch to produce such a solid work.
