VS Factory Panerai 985 Review
VS Factory Panerai 985 uses a classic sandwich dial, which, as the name suggests, is a sandwich structure. So why use this sandwich sandwich structure? In fact, the original intention of this design was developed out of functional considerations to ensure that users (originally naval soldiers) can clearly read the time even in dim light conditions. The structure of the sandwich dial is very simple. It consists of two overlapping upper and lower disks. The upper layer is engraved with the numbers and time scales on the dial. The lower layer is actually a base. In the middle of the two layers of the disk, a large amount of luminous material is placed, and the luminous material can also be placed in the groove in the upper dial, which is the luminous layer. In this way, the light of the luminous material can be transmitted from the corresponding hollow time scale and numbers on the upper dial. The luminous light is bright and long-lasting, and it is also two-color luminous. The internal floating logo, “Panerai Submersible” and “Automatic 300m/1000ft” are clearly visible, but the two words are not printed on the dial, but engraved on the sapphire crystal glass that protects the dial using screen printing technology, so that they are clearly visible regardless of normal light or under the water surface, and will not be blocked.
The Panerai 985 bezel of the VS factory is the same as the original, both of which are three-dimensional digital structures. It is made of Eco-Titanium™ material, and the counterclockwise rotating bezel is attached with a graduation mark. The graduation mark is three-dimensional and beautiful. The appearance is brushed, which looks very flat. The frosted effect inside the groove of the outer ring adds a sense of ancient art to the whole watch. With its unidirectional rotating bezel, the wearer can safely calculate the diving time, while the Super-LumiNova® super luminous coating on the hour markers and large hollow hands ensures that the watch can still be clearly read in a dark environment.
The VS factory Panerai 985 uses the same titanium metal material to create the shell. The material is the same as the original, the overall thickness is thinner, and the polished brushed VS has been easily controlled. In terms of overall appearance, this watch has full craftsmanship, which is better than a lot of small factory goods and can be comparable to the original. The side is the iconic crown bridge device, which can protect the crown from damage caused by external impact. It is also made of EcoTitaniumTM environmentally friendly titanium. If you need to adjust the time, you need to open the bridge and pull out the crown, adjust to the calendar and minute hand position, return to the original position after adjusting the time, and close the protection bridge.
The VS factory Panerai 985 is equipped with the latest version of the VSp9010 integrated movement. The hands can be quickly adjusted, and the upgraded version has the same functions as the original. The calendar cannot be adjusted quickly, and the functions are consistent with the original. The GMT hand cannot be adjusted quickly, and it moves once in about 12 hours. The similarity has increased from 85% to 95%, and the appearance details are closer to the original. The position of the movement balance wheel is truly consistent with the original. The new movement developed with new technology is stable, which reduces the repair problems such as stealing and stopping. In fact, the first generation of movements has greatly reduced the problems of stealing or automatic hammer falling off compared to the previous 7750 deck-covered movement.
It is worth mentioning that the VS Panerai 985 uses a resin fiber strap, which is finely crafted and comfortable to wear. The design style and material of the special material blue strap extracted from recycled PET resin are consistent with the original.
Overall, this is an excellent replica watch, worthy of collection.
VS factory Panerai 985 compared with the original review
First, let’s look at the lower disk, the original on the left and the VS replica on the right. Because of the different lighting conditions, the color of the genuine product is a little darker. In fact, under the same lighting conditions, there is no difference between the two in the dial and the luminous color, that is, there is no need to worry about color difference. But if we look closely, we will find that the genuine product is more refined, and the opening of the sandwich dial is more neat and delicate. The replica is not as beautiful as the genuine product. There is no way to limit the cost. The color of the genuine luminous scale and pointer is consistent, the brightness of the luminous light is basically the same, and the calendar is clearly printed. The internal floating logo is slightly different, and the genuine product looks more obvious and tough.
Then there is the back, which is the easiest point to distinguish from the genuine product. The workmanship of the genuine product is more exquisite, that is, the signature of Mike Horn and the marine life pattern engraved on the back bottom cover are all in the right position, while the replica is more casual. Don’t look at this as simple, but it also requires a lot of difficulty to achieve.
How is the workmanship of VS factory Panerai 985? Is it worth buying?
Through the above introduction, we know that the appearance and material of this watch are consistent with Zhenping, the dial has no color difference, and the workmanship of the strap is also very outstanding. There are only slight differences in very subtle places. Luxury goods are like this. Although the profit is high, the labor cost is also very expensive. The products of VS factory are not unable to meet such standards, but the cost is too high and not cost-effective. The current product craftsmanship and performance can be fully interpreted by watch fans. This is a replica watch that is worth buying.
