Another Panerai watch made from bronze material is the PAM 968, following the popular PAM 382. The PAM 382 remains a top seller in the market, having been one of the best-selling replica Panerai watches. The newly released PAM 968 is thinner than the PAM 382. The green dial of the PAM 382 was a major draw for many buyers, in addition to its bronze construction. The PAM 968, however, features a brown dial, which may appeal to some, although others believe that green complements bronze better. Take a look at the photos below and share your thoughts.

As with most Panerai replicas, the new PAM 968 is produced by the VS factory. While there are many prominent factories creating Rolex replicas, the production of Panerai replicas is largely dominated by VS factory. It’s curious why no other factories have joined this market. While they might want to, they simply cannot compete with VS factory, which remains the leader in producing Panerai replica watches.

The PAM 968 replica from VS factory is crafted from solid bronze material. Some potential buyers of the PAM 382 replica questioned whether it was made from genuine solid bronze. When I assured them it was, they were skeptical, doubting the advancements in the replica watch industry. However, upon receiving their watches, they were amazed by the quality. The PAM 968 has a case diameter of 47mm and a thickness of 15.5mm. While this is still quite thick for many people, it is a significant improvement compared to other large tool watches with automatic movements, which can be up to 18mm thick.

The bezel, dial, and strap of the PAM 968 are all brown, matching the bronze tone of the case. This gives the PAM 968 a more uniform look compared to the PAM 382, though I find the green dial of the PAM 382 more appealing. The brown color on the bezel, dial, and strap gives the bronze case a rose gold appearance. The brown bezel has an insert made of real ceramic, and the brown dial features hour markers and hands filled with high-quality luminous material.

VS factory also provides an extra pair of green rubber straps with this watch. If you purchase the watch now, you’ll receive the green rubber straps for free. The watch’s specifications are shared below:

KW is a factory established by Turks in Guangzhou, China. This factory specializes in producing high-quality Panerai replicas, including the Panerai GMT 441 replica I reviewed earlier. The Panerai GMT 441 is a ceramic Panerai watch, but unlike the Panerai GMT 438, it is not entirely ceramic. The Panerai GMT 438 produced by KW is a 1:1 replica of the genuine watch, with the size and other details closely matching the original, making it almost flawless.

When I first received this watch, it felt slightly heavy, weighing about 115 grams. I could sense its high-quality texture, but due to the ceramic material, it is lighter than other Panerai GMT watches made of stainless steel. In my opinion, ceramic has many advantages, such as a refined texture, scratch resistance, and color retention. The Panerai GMT 438 has a case diameter of 44 millimeters, similar to the Panerai GMT 441. The bezel, case head, and case back of the Panerai GMT 438 all feature a screw-down structure, which provides convenience for wearers who want to clean the dial.

Both the front and back crystals are made of sapphire, offering great hardness and high scratch resistance. Under the sapphire crystal, the dial looks very clear, especially in sunlight, maintaining readability. The texture of the black dial complements the black ceramic case. The dial features the same classic sandwich structure as the genuine watch, with a hollowed-out upper disc and a lower disc covered with durable luminous material. This design makes the hour markers appear more three-dimensional.

Additionally, the corners of the ceramic crown bridge are smoothly polished, ensuring comfortable wear.

Regarding the movement, the PAM 438 replica uses a black movement referenced as P.9001/B. To create an all-black watch, Panerai developed this blackened P.9001/B movement. KW factory used the Shanghai 7750 movement to replicate this, with DLC-coated movement bridges making the P.9001/B the most aesthetically pleasing movement among all Panerai replicas.

The bracelet is entirely made of ceramic, except for the black steel deployant clasp. There are many more details to discuss about this replica watch, and it is indeed one of the best-selling Panerai GMT replicas on the market. If any of you have purchased this watch, I would love to hear your opinions. Currently, the only ceramic watch I still keep in my collection is the Panerai GMT 438, and I absolutely love it.

It is now December, the final month of 2022, and we are also approaching our traditional Spring Festival. Many watch factories will be closing their stores and returning home to celebrate the holiday. If you want a super clone watch before the holiday, make your decision and place your order quickly. There are numerous super clones available in the market, and many websites sell them online. Finding a trustworthy dealer can be challenging because some are scammers. If you are unsure, feel free to email me. Many people still ask me for the websites and contact details of these watch factories. This industry is risky, and I believe none of them are willing to share contact information publicly. Moreover, they do not have business websites. Some watch factories may start their holiday break in mid-December for the Chinese New Year.

In the past two weeks, VS factory has taken the spotlight in the market. They have released numerous new Panerai replica watches, which is exciting news as we haven’t seen new Panerai replicas for a while. Despite the raid causing significant losses, VS has made a comeback. The same type of raid led to Noob and JF factories closing permanently, perhaps because they made enough money and didn’t want to risk continuing. VS, being a large and historic factory, has chosen to continue serving us, which we greatly appreciate.

The PAM 1232 is one of the new Panerai replicas recently released by VS. It’s unclear why VS decided to release so many Panerai replicas at the end of 2022, but it could mean Panerai will be a top seller in 2023. The new PAM 1232 is part of Panerai’s Submersible collection and is made with CARBOTECH material. While some websites list it as SB, it is actually the same factory. Future Panerai replicas from VS might be branded under the new name SB. The replica PAM 1232 has a large 44mm diameter and a 15mm thick case, which is acceptable for a diving watch. The case is lightweight due to its forged carbon material, and the unique carbon texture on the case, bezel, crown bridge, and lugs is stunning, closely resembling the CARBOTECH on the genuine PAM 1232.

I like the torpedo engraving on the case back, known as Siluro a Lenta Corsa in Italian. This feature is rare in modern Panerai watches, as most now use a display case back. The engraving on this replica watch isn’t as delicate as the genuine one, and there’s a noticeable mistake: the word “CARBOTEOH” instead of “CARBOTECH.” This error might deter buyers, as it’s a significant mistake. Many factories have made similar “letter” mistakes when releasing new replicas.

The replica uses VS factory’s renowned super clone P.900 automatic movement, which is another major selling point. This movement has been extensively tested in many clone Panerai watches and is very reliable. It is considered the best clone P.900 movement available in the market, and few customers have reported movement issues requiring repair.

If you want to buy this Panerai Submersible replica watch, I recommend waiting until VS factory corrects the “CARBOTEOH” mistake.

People in the market claim that the immense popularity of replica watches produced by KW and VS significantly contributed to the global recognition of the authentic Panerai brand at that time. Do you agree? Years ago, Panerai was indeed highly sought after and was one of the hottest brands for a couple of years. However, its popularity has waned, which I believe is due to the repetitive designs of their watches. Consequently, Panerai replicas are also no longer as popular as they once were. Moving on to today’s topic, HW has just announced special prices on three Panerai models: PAM 000, PAM 111, and PAM 911.

Over a decade ago, I recall the intense competition between watchmakers H and Noob over the PAM 111 and PAM 000 models. Now, fewer watch enthusiasts are inclined to purchase these manual-winding Panerai replicas. Despite their high quality, it might be wise to buy one or two now, as they may become harder to find in the future. Each watch comes with an additional rubber band.

Furthermore, the shifting trends in the watch market have seen many collectors moving towards brands and models that offer more innovative designs and features. Panerai’s consistent design language, while iconic, may not appeal to those seeking novelty and technological advancements. Nonetheless, for enthusiasts who appreciate classic watchmaking and timeless design, the current offers on these Panerai models present a unique opportunity. Collectors might find value in securing these pieces now, especially with the added bonus of an extra rubber band, which enhances their versatility and durability.

These Panerai replica watches are renowned for their reliability and durability, having been utilized by Italian military divers who required timepieces capable of withstanding immense pressure and extreme depths underwater. A distinguishing feature of these replica watches are the aluminum shield surrounding the crown, a patented innovation by Panerai. Designed to endure harsh conditions, this shield prevents the crown from snagging on objects and potentially damaging the watch.

At the Watches & Wonders event in Geneva, Panerai made a significant foray into sustainability with a dual-pronged approach. Firstly, they unveiled the replica Submersible eLAB-Identification, a concept watch crafted from 98.6% recycled materials, accompanied by an open-source database of suppliers that other watchmakers can utilize to create their own recycled timepieces. Additionally, they launched the commercial version of this sustainability initiative, the recycled-based replica Panerai Luminor Marina eSteel. These were just two highlights from Panerai’s offerings at the virtual Watches & Wonders Geneva show, which also included a downsized 42mm Bronzo and a lineup of automatic steel chronographs featuring the new P.9200 automatic chronograph movement.

Continuing their exploration of chronographs in 2021, Panerai showcased their latest creations at the live Watches & Wonders event in Shanghai. While the initial models featuring the P.6200 movement were crafted from stainless steel and featured closed casebacks, the current lineup is made from Panerai’s proprietary Goldtech alloy and boasts a sapphire back, albeit partially obscured by a wave motif.

One standout piece from the collection is the Luminor Chronograph Goldtech Blu Notte, measuring a substantial 44mm in diameter. With the iconic Panerai Luminor crown protection device and robust lugs, it exudes the commanding presence characteristic of Panerai Luminor watches. Though swimming with an 18-karat gold chronograph may not be advisable, it’s worth noting that the water resistance rating of the new PAM 1111 is 50 meters, making it suitable for surface activities.

The steel versions of the new P.9200 automatic chronograph feature closed backs and are slightly thicker, providing a more robust package for those venturing into water. While the PAM 1111 comes with a deep blue alligator strap matching the dial, Panerai also offers a rubber strap for added versatility.

Notably, the rose gold used in the Blu Notte case is Panerai’s proprietary Goldtech alloy, which boasts a richer, darker hue and is resistant to fading, addressing a common concern among watchmakers working with high karat gold. With many brands developing their own alloys for enhanced color retention, Panerai’s Goldtech stands out for its durability and aesthetic appeal.
