VS Factory Panerai PAM438 Watch Review

Panerai Wristwatch PAM438 model is produced by VS Factory with carbon fiber and Carbotech case, standard case diameter and high-precision automatic Super Clone 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 case, made of black ceramic, is covered with a matte texture; The processing fineness is at the same level as the original. All black parts are made of ceramic and are extremely resistant to scratches and abrasion, and their touch is great. It prevents light scratches and its color does not fade. Even if it turns into powder, it still remains black; VS factory has never spared material. The case is clean and simple, with no patterns on it; It reflects Panerai's mysterious atmosphere with its pure black tone. The junction of the middle case and the ears is completely integrated, there is no excess or incompatibility.

Glass and Sapphire Crystal

VS factory used top quality imported sapphire glass in the glass of the replica watch; It looks clearer and clearer under light, and the polish level is the same as the original.

The bezel, which is identical to the original, is also removable; This is the only detachable bezel on the market. When you disassemble it, you can see a black waterproof ring, which is the key part of waterproofing. The color of the bezel is pure black and it fits the glass perfectly. Whether viewed from the front or the side, the touch of the round jersey rivals the original.

Dial and Hand Details

The “sandwich” dial is one of Panerai's iconic features. As the name suggests, sandwich is a layered structure; It allows the user (initially marine soldiers) to see the time clearly even in low light. The VS factory has perfectly recreated this original essence. With its super glowing surface, this is the brightest star on your wrist at night! The overall tone of the dial is predominantly black, supported by light fluorescent green; The hour and minute hands are in an elegant shade of grass green. The Panerai brand name is located right at the top and there are no signs of rough workmanship on the edges of the text; The overall feel is almost the same as the original. The function subdials on the left and right display date information accurately. What is even more admirable is that thanks to the movement of the automatic mechanism, you can experience those special, dazzling moments without having to make any manual adjustments.

The material of the crown is steel with a matt finish; Its grip is extremely smooth and comfortable, its workmanship is fine and its quality is comparable to the original. The semicircular crown bridge has been crafted very successfully; It provides better water resistance and gives the watch a tougher, flashier look. The labor requirements of bridge protection are quite high. The screw and waterproof ring design of the bridge protection must be very precise; If it is too large, it will loosen easily; if it is too small, its waterproof function will be impaired. The VS factory has done a flawless job in this regard.

Panerai's English logo is engraved on the ceramic edge of the detachable transparent case back; Its texture is enough to make you feel the mastery of the VS factory. The glass part is made of sapphire material and its transparency is quite high.

Large investment of VS factory; It has perfectly replicated the automatic mechanical movement compliant with Cal.P.9001/B. Equipped with Glucydur balance wheel and Incabloc shock absorber system; It oscillates 28800 per hour, can also be adjusted separately and is the same as the original. A new workmanship has been applied to the mechanism; Each piece has been disassembled separately and gone through the vacuum ADLC amorphous diamond carbon coating process, it really does not oxidize and its color does not fade. A slight matte texture can be seen on the rotor. This coating workmanship can be considered one of the most stable among coatings; It does not fade or oxidize easily, it gives a very advanced feeling. Each motion layer is the same as the original; The similarity of movement screw holes is over 95%. Even rarer is that the movement has 29 jewels, which adds an element of luxury as well as a mechanical metal feel.

After launching the Panerai 441 and achieving great sales success, the VS factory has been focusing on the development of Panerai style in recent years; It meticulously processes each model and presents it to users. The V2 version of VS Panerai 438 did not disappoint expectations; The quality is outstanding!
