Best Panerai Submersible 42mm Replica:
There are many clone watches about Panerai, but if you want to choose the best quality, VS factory is your inevitable best choice.VS factory manufacture Panerai has always been the benchmark for clone watches.We are going to share with you the Panerai PAM02231 Submersible 42 Carbotech from the VS factory.
Panerai Submersible Replica vs Original:
The watch case is made of carbon fiber. Let's compare it with the original, look at the dial blue, the shade is the same, the background color of the dial, as well as the hands and date numerals, are perfect clones of the original. Without the original to compare side-by-side, it's hard for a non-professional to recognize the authenticity. But one thing that doesn't match the original is the grain pattern of the carbon fiber case on the bezel. When you look at the original, the grain pattern is much less defined, while the VS one is very obvious.
Panerai Submersible Carbotech Fake:
Regarding the fact that the bezel pattern is different from the original, that doesn't really negate the fact that the VS's isn't a good clone because, well, carbon fiber patterns aren't absolutely the same in the first place. Even two genuine Panerai Submersible to compare, will not be exactly the same.
But this watch from VS doesn't seem to have very strict quality control. The numbers at 3:00, 6:00, and 9:00 on the original version appear to be a light gray color, while the VS factory one is white. There is also the printing of the English letters above the 6 o'clock position, which is obviously seen to be not as smooth as the original.
Panerai Submersible Homage:
Case back and side comparison:
I have to say that the VS version and the original, despite being made to look the same, are noticeably less textured. Because the original version with the carbon fiber raw materials are not the same, whether it is the color or grain, as well as the gloss of the material are not the same, after all, the cost difference is too big.
The VS's rubber strap and clasp are almost perfect clones of the original.I even think the VS one is better than the original.
Verdict: Overall the quality of this watch from VS is acceptable. With the original real one costing about $17,000 and the VS costing about $500, if you're looking for the ultimate in quality, maybe this watch isn't a good choice, but you don't want to pay too high a premium, and wearing a VS Panerai Submersible isn't so bad that passersby will recognize that you're wearing a fake watch.
