Panerai PAM968 VS Factory Review

Panerai Wristwatch PAM968 model is produced by VS Factory with a high-tech ceramic 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.

Case and Body Workmanship

The 47-millimeter case is made entirely of bronze, giving it an aged, retro look. Another feature of bronze is that it constantly oxidizes over time, creating a unique texture on the case. So each 382 is completely unique. That's exactly where its charm lies. Combined with the first-ever brown ceramic recessed bezel, it offers even higher collectible value and playability than the 382. All hour markers between 1 and 15 are covered with lume material, so the user can follow the dive time more clearly.

Everything, including the internal structure of the case, is made of bronze raw material; I can say that this watch has the atmosphere of an era. Just like ancient artifacts such as ancient swords made of bronze, they have survived to this day very well preserved and bear witness to the magnificence of history! The entire dial is filled with brown tone; This is accompanied by bronze colored hour markers, typeface and hour and minute hands. All in perfect harmony with the watch. There is no overflow from the lume powder filling either.

Inside is VS's own developed P.9010 movement. In this movement, the balance wheel is located at 7 o'clock, exactly the same as the original. This is a result of improvements that VS has made over and over again. Most of the models on the market have fake bridge movements and the balance is at 5 o'clock. Another point is the fast hour setting feature: while the date cannot be changed by quickly setting the hour hand in the versions on the market, VS has perfectly closed this gap and achieved exactly the same operation as the original. The working of the mechanism is extremely fine, the engravings are clear and smooth. Considering the above points, this movement deserves to be described as the strongest one-piece movement in the Panerai replica field.

The bezel has undergone a fine sandblasting process and can rotate counterclockwise. Markings 15, 30, 45 are engraved on the bezel; There is a small protruding ring on the edge. A luminous dot is placed at 12 o'clock, creating a clear contrast with the bronze bezel. The sandblasting process on the dial and the date window at 3 o'clock are also processed extremely carefully. The hour and minute hands in the form of a carved sword are processed without burrs; The overall function is very successful!

Strap, Buckle and Comfort

The strap is made of dark brown imported calfskin. The strap feels a little stiff when first put on; This is a common problem with calfskin straps. After wearing it for a few days, this feeling disappears and it becomes very soft and comfortable. Additionally, the Panerai logo is embroidered on the strap; All made by printing method. It is accompanied by the original pin buckle, which is also made of bronze material, its workmanship is exactly compatible with the original and it is very easy to wear.

This model, one of the few bronze watches produced by VS, has extremely masterful workmanship. Moreover, the playability of the bronze material is one of the highest aspects of the entire watch; The collection value is also extremely high. Combined with VS's top watchmaking craftsmanship, it stands out as a bronze watch that can be bought and owned with peace of mind.
