The replica watch from VS factory is of good quality. However, I do not currently recommend it due to a significant mistake made on the movement. The genuine watch uses the P.9010 movement, but on the replica, there is an engraving of “P.9011” on the movement plate. While previous VS models like the PAM 1033 had a P.9011 movement, this mistake is not acceptable on the new PAM 1279 model. Fortunately, the watch has a solid case back, so the wearer cannot see the incorrect engraving. It’s worth noting that this is not the first mistake made by VS when releasing new models; they previously made a typo on the case back engraving of a Panerai watch.
Despite the mentioned mistake, the watch remains a reputable replica. The quality of Panerai and Omega Seamaster watches made by VS factory can always be trusted. The PAM 1279, a Luminor GMT model from Panerai, features a case diameter of 42mm, which is widely acceptable. However, the case thickness is 15mm, which may be considered a bit thick. If VS factory decides to develop a super clone of the P.9010 movement in the future, it could potentially reduce the thickness of the watch. It is unlikely that they will make any improvements to the movement unless the watch becomes a best-seller for them. It’s worth noting that VS factory has been increasingly focusing on their Rolex business, with Omega and Panerai taking a backseat. Nevertheless, no other factories can currently compete with the quality offered by VS factory.
That’s correct, the replica PAM 1279 is made with titanium, which has a unique processing that makes the case appear different. The black bezel also has a distinct texture, as it is made of carbon material. Despite its thickness, the watch is lightweight due to the titanium material. The blue dial features a delicate sunray finish and an extra GMT hand with an arrow-shaped tip in the center, which accurately indicates the hour time of the second time zone. The sandwiched structure of the dial is consistent with the genuine watch. The replciais Panerai also noteworthy, as it is made with black leather featuring alligator patterns on the outside and lichee patterns on the backside that contacts the skin, providing a more comfortable wearing experience. Additionally, the replica watch comes with an extra blue rubber band.
