VS Factory (XF) Top Replicated Panerai PAM00111 Watch Compared with Genuine Review
VS Factory and XF Factory were originally owned by the same boss, but this article will introduce the “XF” Factory. The Panerai 111 and 005 have already been discontinued and taken off the shelves in boutiques, but it doesn't stop them from becoming classic styles in the world of replicated Panerai watches. I always say that for Panerai watch enthusiasts, the manual mechanical style is a must-have, and this is the attitude that Panerai watch lovers should have. The classic of the replicated versions of Panerai 111/005 lies in the fact that it is the last Panerai watch to use the ETA 6497 movement, and Seagull movement has also released corresponding models with the 6497 movement, resulting in this watch having gear structure, power reserve, and even every detail identical to the genuine product, 100%.
Let's start with the appearance; from a distance, you can't tell any difference between the replicated and genuine Panerai PAM00111. The truly impressive part is that all the details are exactly the same. Let's continue.
After disassembling the front of the watch and comparing the components, we can see that the watch head, mirror, bridge, strap, and buckle of the watch are visually the same as the genuine product.
Dial Font Comparison: XF Factory's dial font is color-matched with the genuine one, and the diameter of the dial, LOGO, hands, and hand shaft are also identical to the genuine product.
Watch Case Polishing: The replicated Panerai and the genuine product are both made of 316L stainless steel and have a polished design. You can see the visual difference from different angles compared to the genuine product.
Watch Crystal Comparison: They both use a highly transparent sapphire crystal, and the thickness and transparency are comparable to the genuine product.
The essence of this XF Factory replicated Panerai PAM00111 lies in the movement: The original movement model is ETA 6497-2, serving as the basis for the modified CAL.OPXI movement, essentially an ETA 6497 movement. The replicated version uses a Seagull 6497 movement, and under 15X magnification, the details of the movement are the same. XF Factory's replicated Panerai has undergone repeated improvements, upgrading the shock absorber, gemstone color, and movement plate engravings.
Watch Component Comparison: Panerai watches in this series have a bridge, and the replicated Panerai PAM00111 matches the genuine product in terms of screw details and bridge size, making them interchangeable.
Please note that some technical terms related to watch movements may be difficult to translate literally, but I have tried to maintain the accuracy and meaning of the original text. If you have any specific questions or need further assistance, feel free to ask!
