Is the VS Panerai 1039 carbon fiber replica watch worth buying?

Hello everyone, I am the editor of n factory watches, dedicated to sharing watch knowledge and professional replica watch reviews. I hope that after reading the editor’s article, all watch friends can better distinguish the products of big factories, so as not to be sold as good ones by bad merchants in the market! Today, the editor brings you the new Panerai 1039 carbon fiber replica watch launched by VS factory. Let’s enter today’s review!

VS factory Panerai 1039 is a new Panerai product launched by VS factory in the market at the end of August 2020. This watch is not difficult in terms of shell material. VS factory already has mature case processing technology, and its case processing foundation has basically reached the standard process of genuine products, but the details are definitely slightly worse. This Panerai 1039 is the first time that VS factory has tried a canvas dial. The dial is very difficult, but VS is very delicate. VS Panerai 01039 is another carbon fiber Panerai replica product of VS factory. We know that VS factory has successfully developed carbon fiber VS Panerai 616 and 1616 with the same size of 47mm, as well as the 47mm Panerai new product VSpam979, and the 42mm Panerai 960. So far, VS factory has successfully played with forged carbon fiber materials, and the processing technology is becoming more and more perfect. I believe that as long as the factory is strong enough, Panerai forged carbon fiber watches will be won by VS.

The author’s wrist circumference is 16.8cm. From the perspective of size alone, foreigners’ watches are still relatively large. However, this brand of watches has this feature, all of them are large, so although the size of this watch is a bit large at 47mm, it does not look out of place when worn. The details of the dial are exquisite, and the carbon fiber texture is clear and natural. Overall, it is a replica boutique.

How about the VS factory Panerai PAM01039

VS factory Panerai PAM01039 shell material, all carbon fiber appearance is very tough, pure black shape is also more versatile, the case diameter is 47 mm, made of Carbotech carbon fiber composite material. This material was first introduced by Panerai to the advanced watchmaking industry, with carbon fiber as the main component, lighter than titanium and stronger than stainless steel. VS factory Panerai 01039 is made of forged carbon fiber. Through the above introduction, we know that VS factory has accumulated a wealth of carbon fiber forging technology. The third-generation carbon fiber forging technology makes the texture more delicate and the overall workmanship technology is excellent.

The dial is exquisitely made, but the details and materials of the dial are different from the genuine product. If you pursue this model to be consistent with the genuine product, you should not buy this model, as there are still differences in the dial. However, although there are differences, a closer look at the dial is still very exquisite. The details of the sapphire glass mirror, this material is needless to say, the transparency and wear resistance of the glass are also very high, the outer ring is unidirectionally rotatable, the bezel is printed with a carbon fiber matte texture with longitudinal lines, and the blue luminous beads on the bezel completely correspond to the color of the dial scale. The disc scale is full of luminous coating, and the hollow sword-shaped hour and minute hands are also filled with luminous coating. For clear reading at night, there is a calendar window at 3 o’clock, the shape of the frame is consistent with the genuine one, and the calendar font is no different. At 9 o’clock is a small second dial design, which is also a two-color luminous like 979.

VS Factory Panerai PAM01039 Movement: A new generation of P.9010 movement solution. Mainly used for vs factory Panerai, this is different from the past A7750+deck solution, and the cheap, Seagull ST25+deck solution. This is a new set of high-imitation watch solutions, focusing on solving the functional problems of P.9000 movement quick adjustment & callback time, which are impossible to have in the past solutions. Well, let’s take a look at this new high-imitation P.9000 movement. The VS factory P9010 movement completely solves the appearance defects of the Panerai replica movement, and is completely different from the appearance of the domestic 7750 movement. The balance wheel and balance splint position of the VSP9000 movement are completely consistent with the original Panerai, and the stability and precision of the movement are very high. This high-imitation P.9000 movement still uses the deck movement in the overall solution, and the upgraded part mainly comes from the upgrade of the basic movement. In the past, the basic movement of the high-imitation P.9010 movement was mostly the Shanghai 7750 or the Seagull ST25 movement. However, the basic movement of this new P.9010 movement is a 23-jewel movement produced by Seiko of Japan. After the modification of its gears, it achieves the calendar adjustment effect and winding effect of the genuine P.9010 movement.

The strap is a rubber strap, which is soft and durable. The strap is designed with Panerai’s classic lightning logo, and the tape is also made by VS exclusively. It fits the wrist very well when worn. The design is fashionable and trendy, young and energetic.

From the movement to the appearance, the Panerai PAM01039 of VS factory can be said to be a very excellent replica watch, with the same material, the same movement function, and stable performance. So everyone should have a good idea of ​​the workmanship of the Panerai PAM01039 of VS factory.

How is the VS factory Panerai 1039 compared to the original product

This 1039 is the first time that VS factory has tried to use canvas material as the dial. Under the micro lens, we can see that this fiber material is densely spread on the dial. If we don’t know the original product, we will be impressed by this exquisite texture. It is not easy to achieve this dial, but compared with the original product, the details of the dial are still quite different.

The first thing we need to look at is the material of the dial, dark gray canvas fabric. The texture of the two is different. The genuine one is flatter, and the replica one is more three-dimensional. In fact, if we don’t say which one is real and which one is fake, I prefer the feeling of the texture of the three-dimensional fiber covering the dial.

In terms of fonts, because of the different bottom materials, the fonts are placed differently. The fonts of VS factory should be sunk on a layer of colloid. Although it is transparent, we can still detect it under the magnification effect of the micro lens. The pointers of the two are slightly different in color. The genuine one is brighter red, and the replica one is slightly orange-red. The positions of L and C at six o’clock are slightly different.

The luminous light is bright, the night pearl and the minute hand are ice blue luminous, and the others are green, which is consistent with the genuine one.

The bottom cover of the genuine one is vertical, that is, the direction of the pattern is positive, while the direction of the replica is random and not very positive.

About the workmanship evaluation of the VS factory Panerai carbon fiber case

How does VS process a piece of carbon fiber material into a Panerai 01039 case? The VS PAM1039 we buy now is processed from this black thing, called carbon fiber blank. VS factory needs to customize PAM1039 texture blanks from upstream carbon fiber suppliers in large quantities for processing. The engineer first draws the design on the computer, then imports the drawing into the CNC machine, fixes the carbon fiber blank on the mold, and the CNC machine can process the complete blank into the components we need. If it is the first time you see the CNC machine processing process, you will definitely sigh at the advancement of industrial equipment now, and you will understand that industrial equipment can replace a lot of manpower, and the standardization of manual processing is not as good as that of machines. Here is a small topic. Some friends have mentioned that using 3D printing technology to make watches will have better results. But in fact, 3D printing technology is still in the theoretical stage, and the precision cannot reach the limitations of materials. At present, domestic manufacturing is still dominated by CNC machine processing.

Because the machine window is sealed during processing, in order to allow everyone to clearly see the changes in the blank, only one sample can be taken out every 15 minutes or so when the machine is stopped for inspection. Bring it back and take pictures for everyone to see. Let the spectators solve their curiosity. Today’s CNC machines do not require manual intervention from the beginning to the end of work, and they automatically change different tools and angles. I wanted to take a picture of the entire CNC machine for everyone to see, but the factory refused to let me take a picture. The five-axis CNC of DMG in Germany costs about RMB 300,000. Interested people can go online to learn more. This is a blank that was processed for 15 minutes. From the side, you can clearly see the traces of CNC processing. Seeing this blank, I suddenly remembered Yang Zongwei’s song “Onion”: If you are willing to peel off my heart layer by layer, you will find that you will be surprised…

This is the shell body of the VS factory PAM1039 that has been processed to a qualified level. This accessory alone takes nearly 80 minutes to process with a CNC equipment worth RMB 300,000. The high wear of the tool, the long CNC processing time, and the high scrap rate during the processing process make the production cost of VS PAM1039 very high, even higher than that of the same industry. Why? In fact, as long as the CNC processing speed is set fast and the processing time is shortened, a lot of production costs can be reduced. So why not reduce it? Once the speed is increased, the shell is very rough, the unique carbon fiber texture cannot be fully revealed, and there are many small cracks on the shell. You can pay attention to the versions of PAM1039 sold in the market before. If you look closely, you will find that the shell is rough and there are many small cracks. Slow work makes fine work, and slow work also increases a lot of invisible costs. But as long as you compare, you can find that there is really a difference.

The VS Panerai 1039 bridge guard is processed by CNC, assembled, and carved out bit by bit. This is the blank material of the bezel and the processing and molding process. The current appearance texture has been upgraded again, and the carbon fiber texture has reached more than three types. In a simple sentence, it requires a deep foundation. Why can the price increase by hundreds of dollars after an upgrade? It is true that vs dominates the Panerai market, but vs is not a factory pursuing huge profits. The price increase is because the process cost is also increasing. The price of VS factory Panerai 1039 does not depend on whether the market is in a monopoly, but because the process cost determines the selling price.

It is precisely because of the perfect processing technology of carbon fiber materials and the rich experience accumulated in forging carbon fiber materials that the VS factory has been able to go further and further on the road of carbon fiber Panerai replica watches.
