VS Factory Panerai 312 or ZF Factory version, which is better?

The Panerai Wristwatch model is produced by VS Factory with a solid 316L stainless steel case, standard case 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.

Is VS Factory Panerai 312 worth buying?

The standard 44 millimeter case diameter is combined with a black sandwich-style dial; This is the classic dial combination that the Panerai brand has always preferred and green super lume is used.

Capital Arabic numerals are used for the 6, 9 and 12 signs; The small seconds hand, located separately from the hour and minute hands, has a polished design.

The distinctive crown protection bridge is an iconic piece of Panerai. The fine details of the crown are processed with flawless workmanship, the inscription on the bridge is clearly visible and all proportions are 100 percent the same as the original.

The 316L case is cast in stainless steel; Except for the bezel surroundings, the entire watch is made with sandblasted and brushed workmanship, not polished. There is a groove in the four corners of the sides to open the top cover. While older versions or other factories ignored this small detail, VS has preserved it very well.

The two round holes in the photo below are the quick disassembly mechanism of the watch; You can change the leather strap by pressing it with a hard object at the same time, it is quite practical.

The reason why the VS (formerly known as KW) factory was able to dominate the Panerai automatic movement market by beating ZF Factory is undoubtedly the integrated movement it developed. The old version cannot even be compared to it in terms of both stability and visuality. The installation of the automatic rotor is no longer achieved through the bridge structure, but with an integrated design. The advantage is that the transmission efficiency is much higher and at the same time the failure rate is greatly reduced.

The engraving of the main platinum is also much finer than that of older Panerais; Watch enthusiasts will no longer be able to say that Panerai with a transparent case back is fake at first glance. There are also embroidered decorations on the edges of the mechanism. It is truly a mechanism worth both watching and playing. The front glass and case back are made of sapphire glass.

The lume in the photo below was randomly taken with a phone; It can be seen that it is quite powerful. The real impact is much sharper.

As I just mentioned, 95 percent of the watch is made using sandblasted material. Of course, if you like polished design, you can choose the 359 produced by VS.

Summary: All-new P.9000 transparent case back movement, diving and swimming capabilities, green lume coated hour markers, sandwich dial; Every detail bears Panerai's brand feature. Although Panerai released the 01312 model this year, the classic 312 is still sought after by watch enthusiasts. If you put a crocodile leather strap on it, it will really be like putting wings on a tiger; A product we sincerely recommend.
