Movements

In the past five years, whether in material, finish or movement, the replica watch industry has made a big huge progress, do you agree?

Today, I will give a brief introduction of the movements used in the super clones. These movements were different from the ones used in the replicas made eight or ten years ago. Now, people are knowledgable in this field, they know every factory, their background and their famous watches models, they also know which movement is more trusted. The movements in the market are usually made by the movement factories in three places of China, which are Dandong, Shanghai and Hangzhou.

First, the movements from Dandong. Too many, there are 4130, 4131, 3235, etc. Many people know this movement factory because of the 4130 movement firstly used by Noob Factory. Now, the 4130 is being used by a lot of factories, including Clean, VS, BT, New Noob. Dandong 4131 is being used by VS and Clean. The Dandong 3235 is only used by VS Factory. Dandong 4130 is the most successful movement developed in replica watches industry, it is also the most stable chrono movement. It seems like every movement from Dandong is very stable, except the 925 and 938.

The two pictures below show the Dandong 3235 movement, also called VS 3235 or Custom VS 3235, it is only used by VS Factory, you can find this movement in their Datejust, 41mm Submariner, Oyster Perpetual, YachtMaster, Sea-Dweller. This is the best clone 3235 movement in the market, known for its high stability and long power reserve that is up to 72 hours.

One movement from Dandong should be avoided, that is the 938, which is equipped by the Jaeger LeCoultre Master Ultra Thin Q1372520. This replica is mainly made by two factories, AZ and ZF. Do not buy this watch, this movement will easily have issues during use. Almost every replica of this watch sold by the two factories will have movement issues.

938 movement, developed by APS, we should not buy the replica with this movement.

Another movement from Dandong is also not too stable, it is the 925, which is equipped by Jaeger LeCoultre moon phase. This replica is made by APS and ZF, a very popular watch, but its movement is even not as stable as Dandong 7750.

SL6000 movement from Dandong. Equipped in the replicas of IWC Portuguese 7 Days PR and Big Pilot, currently used by AZ and ZF. This movement is nice and has a power reserve of more than 50 hours. The Portuguese 7 Days Power Reserve from ZF is also the replica I highly recommend, very classic.

8500 and 8900 from VS Factory, also developed by Dandong. The replicas of Omega Seamaster 150m and Seamaster 600m from VS are using these two movements, which make VS Factory famous all over the world.

P.9000. Only used on Panerai by VS Factory. 8500 and P.9000 these two movements are the cornerstone of development of VS Factory.

Next, let’s talk about the movements from Shanghai. First, it is the SH3135. There are two generations, the first generation has been abandoned, now all watches are using the second generation of SH3135. This movement has the same high stability as that of Dandong 3135.

SH3235. Except VS, other factories are all using this movement, for example, Clean uses this movement in their Datejust, 41mm Submariner and Sea-Dweller. This movement’s stability is ok, but the power reserve is around 45 hours. If you want a Submariner from Clean Factory, I do not suggest you buy the 41mm model, the 40mm Submariner with Dandong 3135 movement is a better choice, it is more cost-efficient.

Shanghai 7750. This is not a very good movement, but it is being widely used in the replica watches. In the past, Z Factory random used Shanghai 7750 and Dandong 7750 in their IWC Portuguese Chrono replica watches, people who got the watch with Shanghai 7750 was unlucky because this movement is not stable.

In the last, it will be a movement from Hangzhou. The movement is 72a0, which is being used in the Datejust and YachtMaster of EWE Factory. EWE modified its look to Rolex 3235. This movement is great, its power reserve is up to 60 hours. The Blancpain 50 fathoms from Z Factory also uses this Hangzhou movement.

About VS factory

In the past months, I introduced the stories of some watch makers, including Clean, APS, ZF, OM and 3K, some readers shown the interest and asked me to give an introduction of VS factory, having been in this industry for a lot of years, I know some things but not too much about VS, so today, I will write these things out for you to read.

First, some readers still asked me where to buy Noob watches, I already mentioned on my previous posts that Noob has been closed forever, they won’t come back to the business in future.

About VS, this is really a big factory and has a longer history than any other watch makers in the market including Clean and ZF. VS is actually more famous than ZF and Clean all over the worldwide. Long long ago, someone went to the Zhanxi watch market and found that the replica Panerai PAM 111 and PAM 005 made by Noob were popular, then he decided to make better replica Panerai watches and sell, he believed that the automatic models would be more popular and started to make the first replica PAM 441. In 2015, the Panerai replicas they made are sold under name KW, and the other name V6 they used for selling replicas of Cartier Ballon Bleu. Those Panerai replicas they made at the beginning are using Shanghai 7750 movement with chronograph feature removed, some people said it is Dandong 7750, I do not know. This movement is added with extra plates with similar decoration to genuine P.9000 movement. The release of this movement was a big surprise at that time, and Panerai replicas made by KW became very hot, I think more popular than today.

In the end of 2016, the first generation of super clone P.9000 movement was born, but it did not have an important feature, which is its hour hand could not be independently adjusted. The first generation of super clone P.9000 was a big improvement in fake Panerai field at that time. And they decided to use a new name VS in 2017, so VS was officially born. The first batch of replica Panerai watches with the super clone P.9000 movement, which include PAM 441 and PAM 661, immediately became the best sellers in the market once being introduced. The Cartier Ballon Bleu replicas from V6 were also being sold very well at the same time. They earned a lot of money. Later, they opened another branch named XF to make VC 2000V and AP 15202.

After, VS decided to make Omega Seamaster, the replica Seamaster 300m Omega watches came out first, I do not know which year it was, these Seamaster 300m replicas coming from VS are equipped with Asia clone 2824 automatic movement that was dressed to Omega 8800 calibre. The first batch of Omega Seamaster 300m replicas won a lot of customers immediately because of their super quality and clean assembly, because VS factory has already used fully automated production and assembly at that time. In the same year, the second generation of super clone P.9000 movement came out.

I do not know when Noob factory started to use Dandong 4130 movement in the Daytona, but in the same year, VS factory unveiled a lot of Omega replicas including Seamaster 150m and 600m as well as De Ville that use clone 8500 and clone 8900. From that time, customers who like Omega only bought the replicas from VS, because they have the best super clone 8500 and 8900 movement. About Panerai, all super clone P series movements are coming from VS.

In 2020, VS introduced two important movements, one is Dandong 3135, which is equipped in VS 40mm Submariner, the other is Dandong 3235, which is equipped in VS 41mm Submariner and Datejust. They started to seize the market share of replica Rolex. Later, the second generation of Shanghai 3135 movement used by other factories was born, but it still can not compete with VS 3135, that’s the reason why Clean abandon it and choose to use Dandong 3135.

Next, it is the raid, many factories closed, VS was closed for some time but it finally came back. During the closure period, we witnessed the rapid growth of another actory, which is Clean. If that raid did not happen, I think VS today controls the biggest market share of super clone Rolex. Do you agree? Because of that event, now VS delivers much slower than before. Anyway, you should feel lucky because VS is still in the business.

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.

Replica Panerai PAM 616 Carbon Bezel

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.

V6 Factory Released Replica Panerai Luminor Marina 1950 3 Days Automatic PAM 312 with P.9000

Replica Panerai Luminor 1950 3 Days Automatic PAM 312

Today, more and more factories participated in the manufacturing of replica watches, according to my experience, there are nearly ten big factories in the market, including Noob, BP, H, J12, Z, JH, MK, S, V6, etc., and a lot of other unknown small factories. The mostly replicated brand watches are Rolex, Panerai, Omega, IWC and other big Swiss brands. I really like to review Rolex Submariner and Panerai watches because they are my favorite brands. Among all factories, V6 is the best one that makes high quality PAMs replicas. Here I will introduce an elegant Panerai replica watch, it is PAM 312, with one pair of black leather strap, the watch is very suitable for men who need to wear in formal occasions.

PAM 312 with Black Leather Strap

This replica PAM 312, its movement and appearance are all 1:1 built, especially the movement, it is the best clone P.9000 movement, you guys who have bought replica watches before all know P.9000 is the first clone P.XXXX series movement in watch market, and it has been improved several times, so P.9000 is much superiorer than other movements and has a better stability. The movement rotor and plates are modified so even there are people observe it through the crystal back, they are still not able to identify the flaws immediately.

PAM 312 Brushed Crown

For the band, I prefer a rubber strap rather than this leather band, because I found the leather strap on most replica watches is too hard that can not be blent well with your wrist. A rubber band with Pre-V buckle will be a perfect partner for this PAM.

PAM 312 Polished Bezel

Correct case finishing, I mean polished round bezel and brushed case. The crown bridge is also brushed so it will be resistant to scratches. Sapphire crystal is thick so it is a little higher above the bezel.

PAM 312 on Flat

Black dial is sandwiched, it has the same construction as genuine PAM 312. Dial printings and date font are all in correct color, date window and date font have a proper size, because all hour markers and hands are applied with Swiss lume material, so you can even read the time in a dark place. By the way, the small second hand is running smoothly on the subdial at 9 o’clock.

Replica Panerai PAM 312

PAM 312 is really a simple watch, with the latest watch-making technology, V6 factory replicates and sold it at a very reasonable price to PAM fans. The replica is a perfect alternative of genuine.

Review of Replica Panerai Luminor Submersible Bronzo Watch PAM 382 by V6 Factory

Panerai Luminor Submersible Bronzo Replica

Anyone who have bought watches from V6 factory would have known their great quality, as they always buy original pieces and then dissected it before they manufacture the watches. This unique Panerai Bronzo watch is made the same way. I don’t think this is a common material and color in watch designs, but Panerai made it. And it proves it is a surprise in watch market. As we know that Panerai designs watches with military element such as materials and colors very well. I think this Bronzo watch is the peak of it.

Panerai Bronze Casing

The military green dial with superluminova bar, dot markers and needles fix on a brushed copper fine engineered case, which shows the military blood in Panerai well. The copper color looks very old school, but it will be brighter and brighter as time goes by. In addition, the leather strap with insignia tang buckle goes with the style wonderfully. The thickness is 18mm and case diameter is 47mm, this is original copied, as the same as per genuine. Front glass is made of sapphire crystal with 8mm think colorless AR coated. Detailed serial engraving, individual N serial nos is on the display back case. Date indicator is at 3:00 position and can be set at crown. Most importantly, the movement is Asian 7750 automatic movement, with modified P9000 bridge plates, engraving and perforated insignia rotor. Such a powerful operating system inside a cool watch case makes it a perfect replica Panerai watch.
