VS Factory Replica Panerai PAM 1616 Carbotech Submersible with Super Clone P.9000 Movement

The Panerai Luminor Submersible PAM1616 model is produced by VS Factory with a carbon fiber and Carbotech case, 47 mm diameter and a 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.

Movement and Caliber Performance

Like the Noob factory's Submariner 116610LN and Super Clone 4130-powered Daytona models, the VS factory also has its own iconic models; such as PAM 441, PAM 438, PAM 382. I think this PAM 1616 will also be included in this list.

This replica uses real Carbotech material like the original PAM 1616. The case is quite large, with a diameter of 47 mm and a thickness of 17 mm, but thanks to this lightweight carbon material, the watch as a whole does not feel heavy. The case, bezel and lugs all have unique patterns. The bezel has a blue pearl and blue markings from 0 to 15.

Compared to the use of blue color in this PAM 1616, I prefer the white and black in PAM 979. I actually don't like this style; The blue color applied to the lume bezel pearl, hour markers, and hour and minute hands makes the watch a little too flashy.

Dial and Hand Details

The black dial has skeletal hour and minute hands with blue lume coating on their tips. The blue lume coating applied to the hour markers and hour and minute hands is thick, providing a strong lume that lasts long in the dark. Like the original PAM 1616, the replica has two different lume lights on its dial.

As for the mechanism, this is the super clone 4130 and I can say that it is completely custom-made by the VS factory. This mechanism has become the pride of the VS factory; With it, all PAM replicas can fully perform all the functions of the original Panerai, including GMT, which works as accurately as the original and is set like the original, which is an incredible thing.
