Panerai Luminor Submersible 01288 VS Factory Review

Panerai Luminor Submersible 01288 model is produced by VS Factory with a high-tech ceramic case, 44 mm 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.

Detailed evaluation of VS Factory Panerai Submersible series PAM01288 matte eSteel watch!

As for the material, this is eSteel used in the 1288 model; Equivalent to conventional stainless steel in terms of chemical properties, physical structure and corrosion resistance. There could be no better place to produce the brand's classic Submersible series professional diving watches. To highlight this innovative material used, the word eSteel is engraved on the crown protection bridge, and the same text is also featured on the dial. This is one of the biggest advantages and features of the watch; just like the difference in style between 316 stainless steel and 904 stainless steel. So this watch has a completely new style. VS Factory used 316 stainless steel material again this time, not eSteel; but in terms of appearance it retains the same feel. The overall size of the watch is 44 mm; This size is also called the "golden measure" and as Panerai's classic size, it fits comfortably on wrists between 15-20 cm! As for the weight of the watch, this model is 153 grams; Considering that it is a 44 mm watch, this weight does not put much strain on the wrist!

A brushed finish has been applied to the entire watch; This gives him a distinct tough guy atmosphere. The lines on the side surface are also quite distinct and do not give the feeling of stinging. The side engraving of the case is quite impressive in terms of detail; On the right side is the classic protection bridge, the writings on it are very clear and the word eSteel is engraved on the side surface. VS Factory has done a really good job when it comes to details. Pay attention to the crown here; After setting the watch, you should press the crown tightly to avoid any annoying situation such as water getting into the watch. Everyone should know this. Also, this time, it is made of black threaded rubber in the middle of the crown to increase the friction power; It is not plastic as many sellers say, it is useful to know this. The best review is a review of the actual product; Looking at the photo and commenting is nonsense! That's why I insist on this: be sure to ask for a real shot photo!

VS Factory Panerai Submersible series PAM01288 is equipped with a unidirectional rotating ceramic bezel. This ceramic bezel design is also one of the highlights of 1288; Because most Panerais do not have a polished ceramic design. The engraving of the black ceramic bezel is really impressive, the fonts are very clear, and the grip feeling on the side surface of the bezel is also very good. There is a lume point at 12 o'clock; When combined with sapphire glass, it adds a distinct clarity to the watch. Additionally, the glass does not get scratched easily during subsequent use. As for the dial, this model is in a gray color style; There is a layered harmony between the watch and its black bezel. Such details make the watch appreciated in terms of appearance. Classic layout is used on the dial; There is a second hand at 9 o'clock. The overall processing of the dial is very clear, and the hour markers are also very three-dimensional; In a way, this reflects VS Factory's watchmaking craftsmanship!

As for the back, this model has a matte eSteel screw-down case back; The writings on the back are also extremely clear. Be careful here, the serial number on the case back of each watch may be different. This time, the back cover is also screwed, increasing the waterproof performance of the watch. VS Factory has done a really good job in the detail work of the rear part; The ear connections have a quick release button structure and this detail matches the original one exactly!

As for the movement, this 1288 model uses the P900 movement; This is one of the highlights of VS Factory. Ultimately, the development of VS Factory is unthinkable without mechanism patterns; The mechanism took VS Factory to where it is today. Thanks to VS Factory's mechanism, the watch is extremely strong in terms of stability; This offers watch enthusiasts a very comfortable wearing experience in the long term. The functioning of the mechanism is also really impressive!

As for the strap, this model uses a gray strap made of recycled PET material; in standard 24/22 mm size. The workmanship of the strap is very good, and the writings on the back are extremely clear. Pay attention to this: the new strap will be a little stiff at first, but then it becomes quite comfortable. It is also very practical to put on and take off with the pin buckle!

Summary: I once evaluated the workmanship of the VS Factory Panerai Submersible series PAM01288 matte eSteel watch. This watch originally corresponds to the new model released on April 1. This time VS Factory has done a really impressive job on the rendering details. The polished ceramic bezel design and gray dial style have won the attention of a wide fan base. Thanks for watching!
