Bokey TimeHello everyone, this is Bokey Watch Industry. Many watch enthusiasts may be unfamiliar with the name “SBF Factory,” but most should be quite familiar with VS Factory’s Panerai models. Let’s first clarify whether SBF Factory is related to VS Factory. In fact, SBF Factory is simply a name change by VS Factory for the upgraded version of the Panerai PAM00441. It’s quite common for manufacturers to rename products after building a reputable brand. This upgrade not only reflects VS Factory’s dedication but also demonstrates their endless pursuit of precision in mold development, as they strive to restore the authentic aesthetic details once again. Previously, when discussing the flaws of this watch, we would highlight these points, but the perfect upgrade of the movement in this Panerai PAM00441 truly brings benefits to watch enthusiasts. Meanwhile, in the challenging landscape of the replica watch industry this year, VS Factory has remained true to its original mission, which is worth praising. Additionally, some merchants may claim this is the VS Factory V3 version of the PAM00441, but please note that the manufacturer has not officially announced it as the V3 version; it is simply categorized under SBF Factory for shipment.
SBF plant Panerai 441
SBF factory Panerai 441 quality workmanship?
The shell of SBF Panerai 441 is made of the same ceramic material as the genuine product, which is very scratch-resistant and very good for daily use, but the ceramic material is not resistant to falling, so you must pay attention to daily wear, and you must not vigorously collide and bump.
The same detachable ceramic ring structure design as the genuine product, why does PAM441 have this detachable ceramic ring structure? This is a question that many fans will ask, the purpose of which is to achieve excellent waterproofing effect, so the ceramic shell needs a steel inner groove to combine the ceramic components to achieve the best waterproof effect.
Needless to say, about the literal color difference, this technology is very mature and there is no color difference. A watch, we most often look at the face and the hands, SB Factory 441 has reached a real level in terms of shape, size, color, etc., without any difference. And the accessories can be exchanged for the original, the sword-shaped pointer and color are almost the same, and even the needle and the literal can be interchangeable with the original. The transparency of glass affects the way we see the time, so transparency is very important. Viewed from the front, as well as from the side, it can be seen that the SB 441 achieves almost the same effect as the original.
Viewed from the side, the one-piece ceramic case is very hard and scratch-resistant, but you need to be careful when wearing it, it may break if you apply too much force. The details of the entire bridge guard screw are well done, the shape and size are the same as the original, and the two work together without any problems. Even the small rubber ring on the screws is well done, and the font, size, and depth on the bridge are the same. Judging from the pictures, because the genuine product has been worn, there are white stains on the inside of the handwriting, which looks relatively clear.
The design style of the transparent case back is made of titanium alloy, which avoids allergies. The case back is exactly the same as the original, one watch and one yard, which is the standard of the genuine product. It can be seen that the SBF factory is very attentive this time. The newly upgraded P9001 calibre has the same balance wheel position as the original movement, ensuring accurate and stable timekeeping. Every numeric and letter on the movement is exactly the same font and size. And the updated power display of SBF factory Panerai is still very easy to use, which can be said to be the most requested improvement of Panerai quality by VS factory/SBF factory! Here, I would like to say that if you want to know what the power display of the newly upgraded version of Panerai 441 looks like, and Bokey will teach you how to tell.
The buckle of SBF Factory 441 is not made of ceramic, but is made of more secure titanium buckle like the original product, with a special DLC black hard coating on the surface, and a light brown Crazy Horse leather strap with a logo printed on the inside.
The luminous effect is still relatively sharp, and if you are looking for a watch with a relatively high luminous brightness in the replica watch market, then the Panerai of the VS/SBF factory will not disappoint you!
Summary: The small upgrade of Panerai 441 also confirms that the VS factory has gradually returned to its previous state, and the name change to SBF factory (boring factory) is also to prevent some force majeure factors.
