Panerai Luminor Marina 1662 VS Factory Review

Panerai Luminor Marina 1662 model is produced by VS Factory with a class 5 titanium case, standard case diameter and Super Clone P.9010 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.

This newly released Panerai 1662 by VS Factory is quite similar to theVS Factory Panerai 1661; However, when viewed as a whole, it looks simpler than 1661 and has a more assertive stance from within. Its sandblasted titanium case has a very industrial feel; The crown protection bridge, bezel and crown head are made of dark carbon fiber material. The layers in the watch's color tones look high-end and high-quality; The real watch looks much nicer than the photos.

VS Factory Panerai 1661 Workmanship Review

Let's look at the dial first. The smoke gray metal dial is decorated with hour markers and Arabic numeral markers; Coated with Super-LumiNova lume material in the same tone. This visually increases the readability of the monochrome dial. But when you look a little more carefully, you realize that gray actually has light and dark layers. This does not make it difficult for the user to read the time at all; On the contrary, it gives the watch a more visually complete feel.

Now let's look at the material. The case body of VS Factory Panerai 1662 is made of the same titanium material as the original. Unlike the titanium we are used to, thanks to this titanium case made with direct metal laser sintering (DMLS) technology, the new watch has a light and flexible durability that is far beyond expectations. This extremely futuristic 3D printing technology uses a high-power fiber laser to sinter titanium powder into thin layers only 30 microns (0.03 millimeters) thick, then add them layer by layer to create the final form. This unique production technique allows hollow metal cases to be expertly produced.

The side case, lugs and crown protection bridge are produced directly from metal laser sintered titanium. The bezel, winding crown and the part of the lever that releases the crown are shaped from carbon fiber. The closed back cover on the back of the case is also made of traditional titanium material (black DLC coating has also been applied to match the overall black-gray tone).

The back cover is made of traditional titanium material and has black DLC coated on it; Thus, both the front and back of the watch are completely black. The new generation 9010 caliber produced by VS is used in the movement. One of the biggest changes of the new P9010 movement is that it uses a cross-balance bridge; The old P9000 movement used a single-sided balance bridge. This feature allows you to distinguish the old and new mechanisms at first glance. As for its technical specifications, the new P9010 movement oscillates 28800 times per hour, has a 31-jewel bed and has a power of 3 days. The P9010 movement has a time zone quick setting function; When you pull the crown out one position, you can quickly adjust the time zone back and forth (the hour hand jumps directly by 1 hour). It is also worth noting that the P9010 movement does not have a quickset date; To set the date, you need to use the time zone function (same logic as Omega 8900). In the movement engraving, the P9010 continues Panerai's usual style: the upper bridge is predominantly decorated with large-surface brushed engraving, while the lower bridge is predominantly decorated with a pearl pattern. However, there is almost no difference in appearance, so you do not have to worry about the mechanism being detected as a fake at first glance.

Equipped with a black Sportech material strap; The outer surface is nylon, the inner lining is leather, the stitches are neat and clean. It comes with Panerai's iconic large pin buckle, and the brand logo is embroidered on the buckle.

Summary: As seen in the review above, the dial craftsmanship of the VS Factory Panerai 1662 is exquisite; However, we should not focus too much on the details. For example, it is normal for replica parts to have slight burrs in the matte black texture of the hour and minute hands. VS Factory has got the job done perfectly when it comes to materials; The textures on it are no less than the original. The integrated P9010 mechanism, which emerged as a result of years of development, was used in the mechanism; Its performance is stable, its appearance is consistent with the original. Overall, this is a replica watch with quality texture; If you like it you can buy it. We always adhere to the principle of honest and impartial review, do not hesitate to tell the truth, and resolutely fulfill our promise of service with our actions. Thank you again for reviewing.
