Panerai Luminor Marina PAM111 VS Factory Review

Panerai Luminor Marina PAM111 model is produced by VS Factory with a solid stainless steel case, standard case diameter and high-precision automatic Super Clone movement architecture. It is among the most successful 1:1 super clone watch reviews on the market, with its sapphire crystal AR coating glass, original case tolerances and detailed workmanship.

Movement and Caliber Performance

We have waited for a long time, and the good news is that one factory can now make some Panerai replica watches with manual winding movement, and that is the HW factory. This factory currently produces only a few Panerai models, and all of them have manual winding movements; I hope they make more Panerai replica watches in the future.

Today I would like to talk about the PAM 111 replica that came out of the HW factory. When it comes to the replica of Panerai PAM 111, Noob used to do it best; version was up to V12, but unfortunately Noob closed down and we don't know if they will return to this business. So if you want a replica of the PAM 111 your only option is to get this model from the HW factory. So how is the quality?

HW factory sells PAM 111 at the same price as Noob V12, but I cannot compare the quality of the two because it is not possible to find the V12 version of Noob PAM 111 anywhere anymore. However, when I looked at old photos of Noob, I saw that the mechanism was different; So Noob PAM 111 definitely uses a better mechanism. Maybe the power reserve capacity of HW factory's PAM 111 is the same as the Noob V12 PAM 111, but if you look at the workmanship on the movement plate and the color of the stones, you will see that the clone ETA 6497 in the Noob version is much better and definitely closer to the original.

I don't understand why the HW factory didn't make the mechanism workmanship better; Because you have already produced a lot of clone ETA 6497 movements and made them ready to be installed in your Panerai PAM 111, you only needed to work a little extra to make this watch more perfect, but you did not do that. So many customers prefer to wait until the HW factory is willing to improve the mechanism workmanship next time.

Case and Body Workmanship

In fact, other details in the dial and case workmanship are quite close to the quality level of Noob PAM 111. Also, HW uses a brown leather strap instead of a rubber strap on the PAM 111, and I like it much better with a leather strap. In short, this is a very good PAM 111; If I were rating it out of 10, I'd give it a 7.

Meanwhile, PAM 915, PAM 005, PAM 1084, PAM 000, PAM 1085, PAM 416M, PAM 417M, PAM 634, PAM 774, PAM 777 models are available in stock from the HW factory.
