How is the replica of the Panerai VS382 bronze watch? How to renew and age?

The Panerai Wristwatch model is produced by VS Factory with a 5th class titanium case, 47 mm diameter and Super Clone P.9000 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.

Dial and Hand Details

The 47 mm dial is suitable for men with wider wrists. The traditional hour and minute hand design, with classic Arabic numeral hour markers for the hour and minute hands, has been replaced by a completely new and stronger design.

Case and Body Workmanship

On the dark green matte textured dial surface, the hour and minute hands and hour markers are processed in bronze color to match the bronze case. The hour markers and lume filling are solid; The markings as a whole are quite distinct and the font on the date window is extremely elegant. The hour and minute hands are machined burr-free and have a textured appearance.

Although this PAM382 is quite rough and assertive in appearance, the detail work on the front is extremely fine. The same bronze material was used as the original. Bronze material oxidizes in different ways over time, with temperature and humidity, and acquires an older, more established appearance. Currently, the prices of the original in the second-hand market have reached levels exceeding two hundred thousand.

Let's get back to our topic: So, how did the Panerai PAM382 produced by VS fare? Is it really obvious that it's fake at a glance?

Let's look at the bezel craftsmanship: VS's divine engraving, the lume and gear hour markers are extremely finely crafted. The bronze CuSn8 alloy used by VS; This material, which is an alloy of pure copper and pure tin, is extremely resistant to corrosion and structurally very strong, and over time, its surface is covered with a layer of green rust, giving it an even more old and classic appearance. Likewise, as a classic feature, there is also a crown protection bridge that locks and seals the crown.

Let's look at the threaded part: although the processing of this part is not as fine as the original, the difference is not too big.

On the dark green matte textured dial surface, the hour and minute hands and hour markers are processed in bronze color to match the bronze case. The hour markers and lume filling are solid; The markings as a whole are quite distinct and the font on the date window is extremely elegant. The hour and minute hands are machined without burrs and have a textured appearance. It is worth noting that the 382 is also the first Panerai model to use the green dial design.

The case back is made of titanium alloy; This prevents the user's wrist from having an allergic reaction to the bronze material. The engraving on the case back is extremely fine; When I compared it to the photos of the original, I saw that even the position of the font was the same. The word Swiss Made is written on the inside of the case back. Even this point, which cannot be seen without opening the case back, has been so carefully crafted by VS.

Movement and Caliber Performance

The integrated movement design eliminates the appearance defect of the Panerai movement. The most noticeable change is the positioning of the balance wheel in seven directions; This is exactly the same as the original. Switching to the P9000 caliber instead of the previously used caliber 7750 plus bridge plate mechanism increases the stability and precision of the movement. The total daily error setting is kept below 15 seconds (the standard for Swiss watches is under 30 seconds). The shock absorber position is also the same as the original; In the Shanghai and Tianjin movements used in the previous KW and ZF versions, this position was at 11 o'clock. While the escapement wheel did not rotate in the previous versions, the escapement wheel can rotate in the mechanism developed by VS; This is a way to distinguish whether the watch is truly VS or not.

Lume effect as in the photo above.

Below are the renewal and aging methods; There are a total of 6 methods available and its playability is extremely high.

This review ends here. It's truly a watch worth playing around with.
