What is the quality of the VS Factory Panerai PAM438 replica watch?

Most of the body of PAM438 is made entirely of black ceramic. Ceramic material is also very popular in the aviation field; This is the material used to insulate heat inside space capsules. At the same time, it plays an important role as a carrier in bone surgeries in the medical world. If precious metal materials are the most luxurious and stainless steel the most useful, what is the friendliest material? Ceramic. Why am I saying this? Because the nature of ceramics is the softest; You feel a slight coolness when it touches the skin, and when you wear it for a long time, you realize that it changes according to body temperature and gives an even more comfortable feeling. In terms of appearance, it has a softness and warmth that other materials cannot reach. The pioneer of ceramic watches is the "material master" Rado brand; He is the first creator of the ceramic clock. Panerai comes next: At the 2012 SIHH fair, it introduced its first all-black ceramic watch, the 438, with great panache.

The most powerful replica version of Panerai 438 on the market is undoubtedly VS Factory. VS Factory is a competent large factory (previously known as KW) that focuses mainly on Panerai replicas. When it was released at the end of 2016, it became one of the leading names in the replica market with its stable movement precision. We can say that VS is the dark horse of the replica world; For years, it has solved the problem of replica watches' case backs appearing fake at first glance, in one fell swoop. In the past, the rotor of the Tianjin movement was at position 11, and that of the Shanghai movement was at position 11; However, it was far from its original position of 7. VS's own Fuku version P.9001 mechanism keeps the balance wheel at the 7 position, same as the original. Thus, no one has to worry about the case back looking fake at first glance. The emergence of the VS factory was a revolutionary change, an important turning point for Panerai in the replica world. VS438 is still constantly improving and perfecting its details.

[Weight]Approximate weight of VS Factory PAM438 is 208-210 grams; The ceramic strap weighs approximately 80 grams, and the case weighs around 128-130 grams. A truly huge piece! (Let me warn everyone here once again: since the disassembly process is quite complicated, friends with no experience should do the disassembly process using special tools under the supervision of an expert. Do not open the case back randomly without expert supervision; otherwise, dust may enter the mechanism and affect the normal operation of the watch.)

[Bezel]Same as the original, the bezel has a detachable design; This is the only factory in the market with a detachable bezel. When you open it, you will see a black waterproof seal inside, which is one of the key parts that ensure water resistance.

[Dial]If we talk about the “sandwich” dial, this is one of the original symbols of Panerai and is patented. Sandwich, as the name suggests, is a layered structure. So why was this sandwich type layered structure used? In fact, the starting point of this design was purely functional concerns; It was developed to enable the user (initially marine soldiers) to read the time clearly even in low light conditions.

[Crown protection]One of the iconic parts of Panerai is the crown bridge. In 1955, Panerai came up with a new idea; He invented the crown bridge to provide better watertightness for the Italian Navy. This is one of Panerai's patents and it also gives the watch a tougher, more manly character and a rough exterior. When we disassemble the bridge, we see that even the screws have a waterproof seal, and the screws are sandblasted and give a high-end feel. Not only the bezel, but even the screws can be completely replaced with the original. It's really impressive!

[Case body]The case part is the same as Panerai 441; All black parts are made of ceramic material. Its scratch and abrasion resistance is extremely high, its touch is thin and smooth, it is resistant to light scratches, its color does not fade; Even if you grind it into powder, it still remains black.

[Buckle]Buckle, PVD coated sandblasted butterfly buckle. Since it is sandblasted, the hand feel is also quite nice.

[Lume]The surface is strengthened with super lume; Legibility is clear even in insufficient light!

[Case back]Detachable case back is used; Panerai's English logo, the model's limited edition code and the material logo are engraved on the edge. Be sure to close it tightly after disassembling, otherwise the waterproofness will be affected. The glass is made of sapphire material and has an extremely clear appearance.

[Mechanism]Each movement part is produced by ADLC diamond carbon coating vacuum electroplating, with the same workmanship as V6 Balon Bleu. A light sandblasting texture can be discerned on the rotor. We can say that this coating process is one of the most stable among electroplatings; Moreover, it does not fade easily, does not oxidize, and gives a very high-end feeling. Even after removing the rotor and bridges, the black mechanism of the 438 is still this perfect; You can see how thin and textured it is inside and out. Each layer of the mechanism is made exactly the same as the original; Even screw hole locations reach up to 95 percent closeness.

[Summary]Since VS launched PAM441, it has attracted great attention, and many customers have been eagerly awaiting the release of the improved version of 438. VS Factory did not disappoint the expectations and finally presented this long-awaited 438. Panerai 438 is also considered one of the pioneers of carbon black, which is popular today; all wear-resistant materials used, 100 percent synchronized with the original; We can call it the dark knight of Panerai. If you are a perfectionist, this VS Panerai PAM438 replica watch will definitely be your ultimate choice.
