In the field of high-end replica watches, VS Factory has always been famous for its “original mold making and continuous improvement”. In 2024, VS Factory launched a new replica Panerai PAM1249 Lumino Dürr series watch. This 42 mm watch not only continues the classic design of the original authentic product, but also has been comprehensively upgraded in workmanship and performance. As a senior watch reviewer, I will provide you with an in-depth analysis of this highly anticipated replica from multiple dimensions.
1. Dial craftsmanship: fake and real
The dial of this watch is made of ivory white sunray pattern, which shows a delicate light refraction effect, showing a charming luster whether in the sun or indoor lighting. Panerai’s iconic sandwich structure dial is equipped with luminous Arabic numerals and hour markers, and is coated with white Super-LumiNova™ luminous coating, which emits green luminous light in dark places, ensuring that the wearer can read the time clearly in any environment.
There is a date display window at 3 o’clock, and the small seconds dial at 9 o’clock has a reasonable layout, complete functions, and simple beauty. The gold-toned hands are also coated with luminous coating, which complements the overall design, improving practicality and adding visual layering.
- sunray pattern: Carved using CNC equipment imported from Switzerland, the light refraction angle is exactly the same as the original version.
