Watch Review: VS Factory Panerai Submersible Series 961 Carbon Fiber "Green Sea King"

Hello everyone, this is Bokey Watch Industry. For those who have engaged with replica watches, you’ve likely heard about the craftsmanship of VS Factory timepieces. Their product line is uniquely positioned to be the industry leader in every category they enter. Take Panerai replicas, for instance—VS Factory commands nearly 85% of the market share. Essentially, if you’re seeking an automatic mechanical Panerai replica, VS Factory is the go-to choice. Today, I’m excited to introduce the VS Factory Panerai 961, a Marina Militare special edition. This 47mm timepiece features a pillow-shaped case crafted entirely from Carbotech composite carbon fiber—material that’s lighter than titanium yet harder than steel. Let’s briefly break down the characteristics of carbon fiber: while it’s significantly lighter than stainless steel cases used in traditional Panerai models, it offers superior hardness and wear resistance. However, it has one notable drawback: poor impact resistance. The inherent rigidity of carbon fiber makes it prone to brittleness—after all, the harder the material, the more susceptible it is to cracking under sudden force. Below, we’ll dive into the craftsmanship details of the VS Factory Panerai Submersible Series 961 Carbon Fiber “Green Sea King” to assess any major flaws.

VS Factory Panerai PAM961 This watch has an almost all-black design, which makes the appearance of the watch design with a dark green rubber strap, which has a very strong visual impact! The combination of black and dark green is very unique again!

VS factory Panerai PAM961 also gives people a very high-end feeling, real carbon fiber material plate, unique plate texture, and very strong texture!

The entire scale nail of the disc surface is installed by inlay technology, which looks neat and three-dimensional, and the luminous aspect is also relatively strong.

At 3 o’clock is the date window, and echoing it is the running seconds dial at 9 o’clock. Although this dial is not as eye-catching as the date window, it undoubtedly adds a touch of liveliness and warmth to the watch’s cool and solemn demeanor! All hour markers and hands are coated with Super-LumiNova luminous material, which is evenly applied and full-bodied without any overflow, ensuring that the wearer can clearly read the time in any environment.

The side of the carbon fiber case is also designed with longitudinal lines, the visual effect is consistent with the genuine product, the unidirectional rotating outer ring also has teeth to prevent slipping, and the scale nails are made of the same convex effect as the genuine product, Bokey also noticed a little detail, that is, the mirror sapphire glass is also made of fisheye effect, the cost of this sapphire glass with fisheye effect is several times higher than that of ordinary sapphire glass.

The secret bottom design of the VS Manufacture 961 is synchronized with the back of the original watch, which can be said to ensure the safety of the movement to the highest extent, and the waterproof effect is enhanced, so it can be used for swimming! The blackened titanium caseback is engraved with the Comsubin logo and the commemorative badge of the Italian Navy Commando. The degree of reduction is also relatively high, and the pattern and lettering are relatively clear. The internal movement is the P9000 movement produced by VS. There are also some peers called P.9010 movement, this is not to argue with you which statement is right, because VS factory Panerai only has two kinds of movement, one is P9000 movement, the other is P9001, that is, with GMT needle, these two movements whether it is P9000 or P9010, the simple verification method is to look at the time adjustment method, through a gear to see if you can quickly adjust the hour hand, and drive the calendar forward or backward. If you can’t, it’s not Panerai VS Factory! This dialectical method cousin to remember! Avoid being impersonated by unscrupulous merchants who take small factory goods and make huge profits!

In terms of the strap, it is made of natural rubber, which is highly flexible and breathable. When looking at the craftsmanship of the strap’s pattern, as shown in the pictures, the lightning logo is clear and three-dimensional without any processing marks. The buckle is the classic Panerai pin buckle, which requires no further elaboration.

Let’s take a look at the hand-on diagram and feel the texture of the VS factory Panerai 961

To sum up, we can see that the VS factory Panerai 961 has reached the point where it is difficult to distinguish the real from the original in terms of the process of material and the restoration of the dial, and the stability of the movement has also been verified by the market for four or five years, so this is a replica watch that is worth playing, and it is impossible to see the authenticity when worn on the hand, and watch fans can wear it with confidence.
