VS Factory Replica Panerai PAM 661 Luminor Carbotech Watch with Super Clone P.9010

VSF PAM 661 CarbonTech

Maybe this is the last Panerai watch coming from VS factory before 2020, we have seen several new models of Panerai VS factory published in 2019, most of them are Submersible, today, before the end of 2019, I’d like to introduce one Luminor Marina Panerai, whose reference is PAM 661, like most other Submersible VS made in 2019, this PAM 661 also used the so-called Carbotech material, and is equipped with VS factory’s iconic Super Clone P.9010 movement. PAM 661 is not the Panerai watch with a classic outlook, maybe the special textures on the case can not be accepted by some people who only want a PAM with regular appearance, however, PAM 616 will be a necessary model for Panerai fans to know what changes have been made on the modern Panerai models.

First, VS factory used solid forged carbon material on the case, which is 44mm in diameter and 18.5mm in thickness. However, genuine watch is only 14.5mm thick, so the replica is up to 4mm thicker than genuine, you will have a more obvious feeling when you wear it on your wrist, 18.5mm will stand very high on your wrist, to reduce the case thickness, the most important thing is how to slim down the movement, let’s see what VS factory will do on their clone P series movements in future, because the movements installed by VS factory in their Panerai replica watches are thicker than original, many customers also said that the Panerai replica watches they bought are heavier and thicker than genuine.

Second, in modern Panerai watches, like PAM 661 and most Submersible published in this year, one big change is Panerai is more willing to use multi colors on the dial. Take this Luminor Marina PAM 661 for example, the blue small seconds hand is an eye catcher on the black dial, however, I do not like the blue, I would rather it uses the same color as the central hands. Hour markers are dotted except Arabic numerals at 6, 9 and 12. The luminous brightness of Superluminova C3 applied on hour markers and hands is as strong as genuine, but not as durable as the lume material used on original Panerai.

PAM 661 uses a brown leather band that features white hand stitching, the leather strap has a very soft texture and feels very comfortable to wear, if you do not like the brown color, you can order one extra pair of straps in other color from VS factory, we can send you one screwdriver to replace the band by yourself, it is very easy to replace the band on Panerai.

Again, in the coming Chinese New Year holiday, all watch factories are going to be off work soon, if you need watches, be better to place your order now, so we can ship them before our holiday.

VS Factory V2 Edition Replica Panerai PAM 616 Luminor Submersible Forged Carbon Watch with Super Clone P.9000

Replica Panerai PAM 616

In recent weeks, I have introduced several Panerai watches that are made of forged carbon, they are PAM 979 and PAM 1616, both have received a lot of attention due to their forged carbon material and unique prints on the case. Panerai has published a lot of Luminor Submersible models, the most popular one should be PAM 382 that is made with bronze material. However, in all new models Panerai published in 2019, the most are those made of forged carbon. It seems like the hot period of Panerai has passed away, now people’s attention was attracted by other brands such as Hublot, Richard Mille and IWC.

In our market, the replica PAM 616 was published by KW factory two years ago, today, this watch I am going to review is the V2 edition VS factory just released several days ago, now VS factory made some improvement on its previous version. The biggest updation on this latest PAM 616 lies in its movement, which has set the balance wheel in right 7:00 position, like PAM 441 and PAM 438, these hot PAMS made by VS factory are now all equipped with this Super Clone P.9000 movement.

Like PAM 1616 I just reviewed, PAM 616 is also made of forged carbon, the case and bezel look really big but they do not have a heavy weight like those stainless steel or ceramic PAMs, actually compared with Rolex Submariner or those full stainless steel models, I more like to choose a forged carbon Panerai as my diver’s watch, because it will have a more comfortable wearing feeling, especially when you in deep sea.

Different from PAM 1616, PAM 616 has a black dial with white dotted markers, there are a small second hand running at 9:00 subdial, the small hand works very smoothly, no ticking or jumping issues. Look at the last photo in the article, the dial lume light is very strong. The bezel pearl, hour markers and hands will emit the same green lume light in dark conditions.

This watch uses a black rubber band with classic Panerai OP Logo signature. In my memory, Panerai has used three types of bands in their Luminor Submersible models, brown leather straps for PAM 382, green nylon and this black rubber strap. The wide and thick brown leather strap is specially designed for PAM 382 Bronzo, while the black rubber strap is also a very ideal choice for PAM 616. This type of rubber band uses the natural rubber material imported from Malaysia, it is soft and has a strong stretching.

PAM 382 is one of the best-selling Panerai watches, I think PAM 616 is also pursued by a lot of watch fans, if not, VS factory would not continuously improve it and publish its V2 edition.

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

Replica Panerai Submersible CarboTech Watch

This is the second Carbotech watch I have seen in this month. The first is PAM 979, this watch has a reference PAM 1616. Both are the latest Submersible models Panerai published in 2019 SIHH. Now you can find good quality replicas of both in our market, it is really lucky for us. VS is always the first factory to make the replicas once there are new Panerai watches published each year, yes, I admit that VS factory, whose previous name is KW, has a long history in making replicas of Panerai and can always bring us surprise in this field.

Like Submariner 116610LN and Daytona Super Clone 4130 for Noob factory, VS factory also has their own iconic models, such as PAM 441, PAM 438, PAM 382, etc. I think this PAM 1616 will also be on this list.

This replica uses real Carbotech material like genuine PAM 1616. The case is big in 47mm and 17mm thick, but the whole watch does not feel heavy just because it uses this lightweight carbon material. The case, bezel and lugs all have unique prints. The bezel has blue pearl and blue markings between 0 and 15.

Compared with the blue color usage on this PAM 1616, I prefer the white and black on PAM 979. Actually I do not like this style, the blue applied on lume bezel pearl and hour markers and hands makes the watch a bot show off.

On black dial, the hour hand and minute hand are skeleton, there is blue lume coating on the tip. The blue lume coating applied on hour markers and hands is thick and can make them have a long-lasting superlume in the dark. Like genuine PAM 1616, the replica has two different lume light on the dial.

About the movement, it is super clone 4130, I can say it is completely custom made by VS factory, this movement has become the pround of VS factory, with it, all PAMs replicas can completely achieve the full functions of genuine Panerai, including GMT, which works as accurate as genuine, also adjusted like genuine, this is unbelievable.
