VS Factory Panerai PAM498 "Fu" character V2 version wristwatch review

Panerai Wristwatch PAM498 model is produced by VS Factory with a solid 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.

Dial and Hand Details

The lines of the "Fu" character in the dial design at position 6 are soft. It forms a very harmonious whole with Panerai's dial and hour markers. Since the clear cream colored hour and minute hands and hour markers on the dial do not contrast too sharply with the color of the dial, the visual effect remains quite soft and it is really comfortable to look at.
The uniquely shaped case is made of 316 stainless steel, which is resistant to wear and scratches; The clear and scratch-resistant sapphire glass fits perfectly with the bezel. Moreover, this clarity is exactly the same as the original, and the workmanship is extremely meticulous!

Elegant black dial layout... Since VS Factory produces a 1:1 replica from the original mold, there is a date window at position 3 of the dial and a small seconds dial at position 9. The dial surface has also been reproduced in perfect fidelity to the original design; Especially the small letters on both sides of position number 6 are processed very accurately, and the writings are very clear. There is not the slightest constriction or curvature.

The crown is designed in a typical gear form and the teeth around it are machined with extreme care. The exterior also features Panerai's classic large winding guard bridge; This mechanism not only protects the crown well, but also adds high visual value to this Panerai PAM498 Fu version!

Case and Body Workmanship

The engravings on the case back are extremely accurate and the writings are very clear; There is nothing to fault in the direction of the brushed engraving on it. Thanks to the transparent case back design, you can clearly see how masterful the engraving and engraving work on the rotor of the movement is. This brings the appearance of the case back infinitely closer to the original.

Movement and Caliber Performance

With the brand new P9000 V2 movement, the hour hand can be adjusted separately, just like the original! The position of the balance wheel and balance bridge completely matches the original Panerai, clearly distinguishing itself from the appearance of the domestic 7750. The integrated mechanism design greatly increases the stability and precision of the mechanism and extends its life.

Strap, Buckle and Comfort

The stitching on both sides of the calfskin strap is very tight, the workmanship is extremely meticulous; Additionally, the tangible texture of real calfskin is also quite nice. Combined with the classic pin buckle design, it becomes safer, more durable, simple and practical to use!

With a distinct brand character, this VS Factory Panerai PAM498 continues Panerai's classic design and is extremely elegant. There is a nobility in its magnificent appearance that cannot be hidden; Its texture is felt even more when handled!
