Does VS Panerai 616 look fake at first glance?

VS Factory Panerai 616 workmanship rating. 'Does it look fake at first glance?' It's actually a bit difficult to answer the question. So what does 'fake at first sight' mean? I think it's 'fake at first sight'; It means that the workmanship is extremely poor in points such as appearance details and materials. This is what is called 'fake at first sight'! However, the replica version VS Factory is extremely successful in the workmanship details of Panerai 616. It recreates the original design to the highest possible level, both in the details and in the overall material of the watch. This is enough to refute the claim that 'VS Panerai 616 looks fake at first glance'! Of course, the biggest function of replica watches is to enable you to experience the effect closest to the original for the least price! Now let's make a brief evaluation on the workmanship of VS Factory Panerai 616.

Extremely high hardness sapphire glass is used in the glass of VS Panerai 616; It is scratch and abrasion resistant, and its clarity is very good. You can see in the real shots that the visual effect of the glass is really good. In addition, an important innovation has been made on the glass in this V3 version; It has a very strong fisheye effect! In addition, there is a lume dot on the functional bezel of the watch at 12 o'clock, and this dot does not cause any annoying situations such as falling off and getting lost. Of course, you still need to be careful when using the watch; The function of this lume point is to enable you to conveniently observe the timing point under water. In addition, the color of the hour markers on the general dial of the watch looks very appropriate after adaptation. There is a seconds dial at 9 o'clock and a date window at 3 o'clock. The dial has symmetrical Arabic numerals at 6 and 12 positions; The font is clear, the dimensions are exactly the same as the original. The date window has been opened at position 3, the date reading is clearer and the window is not crooked at all. The design of the small seconds dial at 9 is unique. Lume material is applied to the hour markers; The lume glow of the dial at night is extremely elegant. The entire dial has a look worth stopping and examining.

Composite fiber material is used in the case of VS Panerai 616; This is a composite material composition based on carbon fiber and gives the watch a highly textured appearance. The case is produced with hydraulic workmanship, its hardness is relatively high, and it does not break easily with impact. Carbon fiber material is often used in luxury items, such as luxury cars and yachts; However, this time Panerai turned carbon fiber material into a case. This clearly shows how big a price Panerai paid for this watch! Additionally, processed sapphire glass was preferred; This is a material widely used in watches today. Since its clarity is very high, it is clear to read the watch and it is both scratch and abrasion resistant. The hour markers on the counterclockwise rotating bezel are clear; The texture feeling is amazing!

Rubber strap material is used in Panerai 616; It is extremely soft and very comfortable when worn on the wrist. The strap features Panerai's classic lightning bolt emblem; A touch of blue is extremely eye-catching and adds a colorful style to the completely black watch. This is accompanied by a titanium pin buckle with a matte black finish; This sturdy and durable buckle prevents the strap from unintentionally opening during sports and diving. Another special point is that the fold near the ears allows the strap to be extended; Thus, it can be adapted to a wider range of wrists. Lately, the fine workmanship that VS Factory has offered us has been getting better and better. 616 has become the most perfect watch in our eyes, with its original appearance and perfect functional restoration; It is both completely sporty and extremely dignified and special!

The case back of the 616 has a closed-bottom design; It is made of composite material and has an irregular shape. The English inscriptions around the edge and the English inscriptions in the center of the case back are clearly and strongly engraved. P9000 was used as the mechanism; The appearance design is even more faithful to the original. The balance wheel position of the mechanism does not deviate, its stability is very high and its timekeeping is accurate. In general, the function of the mechanism is extremely flawless; This shows that the original design has been recreated in detail. Everyone needs to be careful to distinguish watch versions; because the popularity of this Panerai 616 model has led to countless replica factories producing molds one after another. Of course, there are big differences between them in terms of price. When buying this watch, be sure to choose the VS Factory Panerai 616; because the version that recreates the original to the highest level is the only replica produced by this factory!

What exactly is the difference between the VS Factory Panerai 616 V3 version and the V2?

Replica watch versions are always denoted by the letter V; for example V1, V10 etc. Of course, this numbering is not given arbitrarily; Because replica factories really develop watches starting from the lowest version. There is both exaggeration and reality in version developments; However, in the case of VS Factory, the version of the watch has actually been improved and a better experience has been provided. This Panerai 616 has also been upgraded from the lowest V1 version to today's V3 version; thus the watch recreates the aesthetics of the original to the highest possible level in detail!

Also note one point: the top version for Panerai 616 is V3, but many sellers like to call it V4 version. This confuses watch enthusiasts even more. So why is the top version of Panerai 616 called V4? It's actually very simple: because the material of the watch is carbon fiber and the material is upgraded; also because the mechanism has been upgraded and the fisheye effect of the glass has also been improved! Of course, as the details improve, the version number also increases; Calling it V4 (actually V3) gives the impression of a higher version!

So what exactly is the difference between the VS Factory Panerai PAM616 V3 upgraded version and the V2? Now let's share briefly!

VS Factory also paid great attention to the glass design of the watch! Very large size sapphire glass was used in the glass; This makes the overall clarity of the watch extremely strong and allows you to read the information on the watch at the highest level. There is also a belt-shaped protective bridge on the crown; This bridge engraved around the crown symbolizes that it protects the crown. This is the special thing about the Panerai winding crown and the reason why many friends love it so much. As for the crown: In V1, the hour hand could not be adjusted on its own; this time, in V2, the time can be adjusted on its own. Moreover, the emergence of this V3 version is even more successful in details; Time setting is much easier and the function is true to the original.

The biggest difference when it comes to watch versions is the difference in movement function. Besides replacing the case assembly with carbon fiber material, VS Factory's most important innovation this time in terms of the movement is that it moved the balance wheel from 11 to 7 o'clock. Right next to the rotating balance wheel, there is an escapement system that provides constant speed movement. We could not see these in past VS versions. One of the movement improvements this time is in the location of the crown centre. The screw connecting the crown is located behind the plate. Previously, this place was empty and was clearly visible when you opened the case back. Now this area has been improved; the screw in question was closed and covered with widely spreading Geneva lines. Additionally, the arrangement of the 5 clockwise screws has also been increased. If we try to distinguish the real thing from the replica based on the screw holes, we can say that it is now extremely difficult. So all these improvements have been made to maintain consistency with the original. Of course, the watch's winding mechanism has also been brought into line with the original; You can adjust the hour hand separately! History is being advanced through Scorpio. In the previous V1 version, the hour hand could not be adjusted alone, in V2 the time can be adjusted alone; The emergence of the V3 version is even more successful in details, time setting is much easier and the function is faithful to the original. With the V3 version, the functions and details are now mature!

Another improvement is the carbon fiber pattern on the case. The 616 has a carbon fiber chassis; Technically known as forged carbon fiber. The glass has also been upgraded; The V3 version has a fisheye effect on the glass! In this version, the case set has also been improved, and the overall texture of the watch is clearer and more natural! Carbon fiber also has a disadvantage: just like ceramic, it can break easily. But none of us drop the watch we wear every day; Of course, this does not mean that it will break when touched lightly. In other words, the watch is like everything else in our lives; It needs to be used with care afterwards!

Summary: Today I shared a short post about the version developments of VS Factory Panerai 616. This time's development of the watch recreates the original design to the highest possible level in detail. Of course, the V3 version (V4) is also a version with extremely successful workmanship details. Thank you for reviewing! If you read until the end, I hope my article was useful to you. I will share more detailed reviews in the coming days.
