Panerai Luminor Submersible 1323 VS Factory Review

Panerai Luminor Submersible 1323 model is produced by VS Factory with carbon fiber and Carbotech case, 44 mm 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.

Today I am introducing you to VS Factory Panerai 1323. This watch is one of the latest new models released by VS Factory; I have reviewed it before. The watch is made of 316 stainless steel and carries VS Factory's unique P9000 movement. It is also worth noting that the original of this watch is actually a US Navy SEALs limited edition model; It was offered for sale in North America, limited to 500 units. Therefore, for this VS Factory replica, we need to consider whether the watch looks fake at first glance and whether it is worth buying.

The dark gray dial with a slight mist gray gradient tone is much more visually appealing; Especially that bright yellow touch on the hour and minute hands of the dial creates a visual focus that easily attracts attention! Again, we see Panerai's classic three-hand arrangement with small seconds; There is a small seconds indicator at the 9th position of the dial and there is a crosshair design resembling a target. It creates symmetry with the date window at position 3, making the entire dial look more harmonious and balanced. The concave design creates a visually easier focal point and offers a very nice light-shadow refraction effect. In addition, VS Factory has done detail control very well; Those fine burr marks on the market are not found here. Rigorous quality control has always been VS Factory's way of surviving! The round hour markers and hour and minute hands are lume coated; This allows the user to read the time clearly in dark environments.

As for the classic Panerai crown protection bridge design on the side of the watch, it has almost no difficulties; This classic design element of Panerai had actually already been thoroughly researched and resolved in the market long before VS Factory started producing Panerai! At that time, the crucial point of the competition regarding Panerai was actually the exact reflection of the external appearance; Of course, it is not for nothing that VS Factory has become a leader in this model, it does not disappoint you! Moreover, the Panerai model that VS Factory has been molding for all these years is really no less; The processing, brushing and engraving workmanship is almost comparable to the original, the detail control is also extremely superior, and has even reached a level where it is difficult to distinguish whether it is real or a replica!

Thanks to its closed case back design, the so-called vulnerable points of the movement do not cause the slightest problem or vulnerability even when placed on the table; When it is installed, it is out of the question! Of course, not only the meticulous control of the external appearance, but also the mechanism itself inside is extremely successful. The VS Factory integrated P9000 replica movement is the movement that VS Factory introduced when it first stepped into the replica watch market; Its stability is very high and even today it is a mechanism with an extremely low return to service rate. In addition, since it exactly captures the functions and adjustment performance of the original mechanism, this replica watch can provide the user with the same experience as the original; Which makes it extremely worth buying!

What makes this watch perfect is not only the exact reflection of the exterior appearance, but also the VS Factory P.9000 integrated mechanism it carries; While it provides the functions of the original mechanism exactly, it also offers an extremely stable performance! The mechanism it contains is like a trump card; In fact, the source of its real competitive power is this mechanism that VS Factory introduced when it first entered the replica watch market. Its stability is very high and it is a mechanism with an extremely low return to service rate to date. In addition, since it exactly captures the functions and adjustment performance of the original mechanism, this replica watch can provide the user with the same experience as the original. The engravings on the stainless steel case back are also extremely elegant; It perfectly reflects the texture and charm of the original. In addition, the rubber strap used by VS Factory is soft and comfortable, and the buckle is a pin buckle like the original, so you can wear the watch easily.

This replica watch uses 316 steel, which is the mainstream watch material in terms of production; When VS Factory's masterful processing workmanship is added to this, the visual effect and tactile feeling are exactly the same as the original. Moreover, the 44 mm case diameter is a golden measure for Panerai in the Asian market; It maintains Panerai's big-case tough guy style and fits most men's wrist sizes! Additionally, VS Factory's literal rendering is particularly subtle; There is no such thing as 'fake at first sight'. When installed, it is no different from the original; We can say that it is not possible for anyone to catch the vulnerability unless a professional examination is carried out! Naturally, it is even more worth buying, examining and trying; However, this bold comment is valid only in terms of the replica watch market and the quality of workmanship. Whether it is actually worth buying or not depends on whether you, the watch lovers, are interested in the Panerai PAM1323 model!

Does VS Factory Panerai 1323 look fake at first glance?

'US Navy SEALs Limited Edition' PAM1323; The watch has a 44 mm brushed stainless steel case, the appearance of the watch is made even more striking by using the yellow color of the US Marine Commandos in its details, and the Navy SEALs emblem is engraved on the back of the case. R-500 model, limited to 500 units, available only in North America. We have summarized the technical features of the original in a few sentences. We can say that Panerai's case form is almost always the same; But when different models and limited productions for different regions come into play, things get quite complicated. For example, some dials are made for Asia, some for China, some for North America; When limited production is added to this, the price increases and most of the originals become almost unavailable. For example, this VS model we are discussing today is exactly the 'US Navy Sea Commandos Limited Edition' watch. That's why my word to friends who will buy this model is this: know the origin of the watch and the region where it is sold; Don't naively tell someone 'the list price is this'. Such a statement gives away that you are wearing a fake watch without even having to look at your watch. Therefore, when it comes to the question of whether the VS Factory Panerai 1323 can be identified as a fake at first glance: watch lovers should first seriously evaluate whether they can carry the image required by the 'special version' and 'limited production' labels. Otherwise, no matter how well made the watch is, it will still remain 'fake at first glance'.

Now let's talk about the craftsmanship of the watch objectively. This limited edition watch from VS, or many watches from VS Factory, in fact, it is not possible to purchase the original of each model and make a mold as a sample; This is impossible in terms of both cost and difficulty of accessing the original. However, VS Factory's Panerais are in an almost unrivaled position; the factory no longer buys the original for each model, because 44 and 47 mm cases are already common; The only thing that changes is the dial. They can remove the product after looking at the photo and adjusting the dial color. For models of the same size, it is sufficient for the factory to have a single original sample with basic data. Somehow, doesn't the price premium of the original come from the limited production? It's not because the material is special. No matter if you have limited production; This factory does not do limited production! But it's ambitious, isn't it? So let's go back to the question above: When it comes to questions like what is the difference with the original, what does it look like when put side by side, who knows what the difference is between them? The factory doesn't know, and neither do I; If you ask me, my answer is simply 'no difference'! This special model is limited to 500 units in North America; Any chance of putting it side by side with the original? As long as your mood and personal attitude are on point; Forget the fake watch limited to 500 pieces, you can wear even a fake watch limited to 5 pieces without batting an eye!

I make suggestions throughout from a market perspective only! I recommend models with superior workmanship quality, models with low return to service rates, and models that can really mobilize the brand market! But I must admit that VS Factory's exact reflection of Panerai is truly perfect; After all, the level of reflection of this market on Panerai is extremely high and there is an in-depth, devoted study on Panerai! When it comes to the exact reflection of this VS Factory Panerai Submersible series PAM1323 replica watch, the superior workmanship quality definitely does not disappoint watch lovers! When the VS Factory integrated P9000 replica mechanism is added to this, it naturally becomes a highly recommended watch!

So in summary, the VS Factory Panerai 1323 is not obvious as a fake at first glance in terms of appearance and quality (of course, there are very few people who have seen the original, and there is no place that can be compared and evaluated as 'fake at first glance'). Whether you can carry this watch or not is the main factor that determines whether or not others will think it is fake when they see you with this watch! Of course, in my opinion, it is a high-quality watch that gives value for money, it is worth buying if the price is affordable and you like the model; After all, there are not many people around you who really research watches seriously. VS Factory Panerai 1323 reflects the texture and appeal of the original perfectly, both in terms of appearance and details. Stainless steel style is more durable and impact resistant compared to carbon fiber; However, it is useful to be careful in daily use. It is very much worth buying for watch lovers who like this watch.
