Hello everyone, I am the editor of n factory watches. The shell material craftsmanship of vs factory is definitely the top level in the market. The application of various rare materials has also reached the extreme, the most advanced level in China. It can also be seen that the current domestic watch market is also becoming more and more high-end. vs factory has successfully played with various materials and restored the top workmanship of Panerai, allowing domestic watch friends to detoxify a Panerai watch at one-tenth the price of the original. This time, vs factory once again launched a carbon fiber material Panerai. This is also a replica Panerai product worth detoxifying after the vs factory Panerai 1616, vs factory Panerai 960 and other watches.
VS factory’s last carbon fiber watch in 2019—PAM661 has feelings and soul. The new “carbon fiber” contains 7 layers of carbon fiber sheets to make the whole watch look smooth, and the addition of polyetheretherketone high-pressure compression case makes the whole watch unbreakable. The circular luminous scale on the dial is artificially aged, and the retro hands and oil-pressed cowhide strap make this watch look full of sentiment and unforgettable!
VS Factory Panerai 661 In-depth Review
The carbon fiber technology of the VS factory can be said to be used like a duck in water. We have introduced it in previous models such as Panerai 1616/616/960/961 and other VS factory replica Panerai watches.
This time, the Panerai 661 is different from the previous models in carbon fiber material. This time, polyetheretherketone special industrial plastic is added to the production of the case. In order to manufacture the Carbotech material used in watch components, carbon fiber sheets are compressed at high pressure at a controlled temperature, and the high molecular polymer polyetheretherketone (PEEK) is added to bond this composite material together to make it harder and more durable. Thanks to this structure, the mechanical properties of Carbotech are superior to similar materials or other materials used in the watchmaking industry (such as ceramics and titanium). Carbotech is lighter than these two materials, more resistant to external influences, and does not cause allergic reactions or corrode easily. It can be seen that Panerai’s extraordinary achievements in material innovation should not be underestimated. The editor has also touched this watch in person. The matte black surface is very textured and the texture is very beautiful. Moreover, each watch will present different textures due to different cutting methods, making it unique. Friends who like it can add the author’s WeChat.
The VS factory Panerai 661 is somewhat similar to its classic 616 in terms of dial design, but it is more innovative. The old time scale makes the whole watch look like it has added a trace of time. The pointer of the small second dial of this watch uses a more eye-catching blue, forming the only contrasting element on the dial. Blue represents the ocean, and it also highlights Panerai’s marine soul, which is very unique and elegant. The 12 and 6 o’clock positions are decorated with the Panerai brand logo and the series to which the watch belongs, and a rectangular date display window is opened at 3 o’clock.
The VS Panerai 661 watch is equipped with the integrated P.9010 automatic winding mechanical movement launched by VS. This movement is actually the previous VS P9000 movement, but the numbers have been corrected, and there is still some difference from the original, but its performance is stable, and the integrated design makes the movement parts no longer as easy to fall off as before. Moreover, after three years of market testing, the performance of this movement is very stable, and the repair rate is very low. The author has also explained in detail about the basic structure of this movement, which you can refer to for understanding.
Although this VS Panerai 661 uses innovative material technology, and the case has also undergone new changes, it still maintains the flavor of Panerai. The 44mm pillow-shaped case is full of military style. The new Luminor Marina watch evolved from the Luminor 1950, but is loyal to the original design. Compared with it, it is thinner and lighter.
VS Factory Panerai 661 Comparison with Genuine Product
First, the dial. After aging, the time scale is a yellow with a sense of history. The color is the same, and the dial is very well made. The fonts on the dial are multi-layered silk-screened, full of three-dimensional sense and consistent in shape. Without comparison, it is impossible to tell that it is fake. After careful comparison, we found that the color of the blue second hand of the Panerai 661 of the VS factory on the left is darker, like the blue of the sky, while the blue small second hand of the genuine product on the right is lighter. The meaning of this pointer itself represents the color of the vast ocean. Relatively speaking, I think the replica is closer to the color of the ocean, haha, my personal opinion.
For the engraving on the back, the VS factory has mature craftsmanship and the workmanship of the font shape is very good. It’s just that because of the different craftsmanship, the depth of the font is slightly different, but this is not a concern. As for the direction of the font, because even the genuine product is not fixed, there is no need to worry about any deviation. The overall material is consistent, all carbon fiber plus peek, and the visual experience is consistent.
