Bokey TimeHello everyone, this is Bokey Watch Industry. In this issue, we will introduce the Panerai Submersible Series PAM01226 from SBF Factory. It should be noted again that SBF Factory watches are under the VS Factory brand. All models launched by VS Factory in the future will be shipped under the code name SBF Factory. Therefore, VS Factory and SBF Factory are products of the same manufacturer with no differences whatsoever. The factory simply introduced a new letter code for shipping to avoid potential issues similar to the previous “tea-drinking incident”.
Back to today’s topic, the Panerai PAM01226 belongs to the Submersible series. As we can see, it features a diving bezel that can rotate unidirectionally. The engravings on the bezel are relatively clear, and there is a luminescent dot at the 12 o’clock position, with good attention to detail. Additionally, this watch has a diameter of 44mm, which is Panerai’s “golden size” and suitable for most watch enthusiasts’ wrist sizes!
The watch glass is made of fisheye sapphire glass, and you can see the fisheye effect when you look at it sideways, if you can’t see the fisheye effect, it is not the right version, because the VS factory is the same as the genuine product with the same mirror material.
In terms of dial, the SBF factory 1226 adopts a white dial design, the font on the dial is very clear, the classic dial layout, nine o’clock is the small seconds hand, the middle is the hour and minute hand, and the three o’clock position is the date window, the calendar window is the same design as the genuine product, and it is also the first time that Panerai has adopted a trapezoidal window design in recent years. The metal scale nails are all luminous coating, and the luminous effect is also a two-color design, which is very eye-catching!
In terms of the case, the material is still made of 316L stainless steel, and the whole watch is treated with a brushed process, whether it is the ring drawing of the ring or the satin drawing of the side of the case, it looks very good. Another advantage of the brushing process is that it can resist some small scratches in daily wear, which is incomparable to the polishing process.
The back has a dense back, with some brand and model lettering engraved on the 316L stainless steel caseback, as well as the classic Panerai slow-speed torpedo relief. The lugs are also designed with the original, with quick-release buttons. Equipped with the self-produced P900 movement inside, this movement is still the P9000 of the VS factory, but the model is changed to P900, the performance of the movement is generally very reliable, the repair rate is also very low, and the hour hand can also be adjusted quickly.
The green rubber strap is paired with a classic pin buckle, and the rubber strap feels good and soft.
Summary: The SBF Factory’s replica of the Panerai Submersible Series PAM01226 excels in overall detail reproduction, maintaining the brand’s consistent craftsmanship without any obvious flaws that would give away its replica status at first glance.
