Bokey TimeHello everyone, this is Bokey Watch Industry. In this edition of “Vintage Watches Revisited,” I’m introducing the VS Factory Panerai 312. This replica watch has now been upgraded to the V2 version. The VS Factory Panerai LUMINOR 1950 Series PAM00312 replica is currently the highest-quality model on the entire market—without exception—it outperforms all other factories’ Panerai 312 replicas. This superiority primarily stems from VS Factory’s self-developed P.9000 automatic mechanical movement, which is the only one in the replica market that achieves the same balance wheel position as the genuine product and features identical time-adjustment functions (one-stop quick-adjust hour hand). This eliminates the obvious “fake” telltale signs of previous 7750 or Tianjin movements.

At 3 o’clock, there is a calendar display window, and through the magnifying lens, you can clearly see that the font size of the calendar is the same as the original, and there is no deviation. The lettering on the bridge is very clear and powerful. Therefore, the entire appearance simulation degree of VS factory V2 version 312 is very high, and there will basically be no phenomenon such as fake at first sight.

The overall case shape is highly consistent with the original, including the excellent treatment of the R-angle on the lugs, which feels smooth without any sharp edges.
On the other side is Panerai’s unique bridge design, and the VS Factory 312 is also a synchronous genuine structure, fixed by two screws, and is interchangeable with the original. The opening and closing of the bridge is also relatively smooth, and there will be no jerky feeling.

In terms of movement, VS Panerai 312V2 upgraded version uses the self-produced P.9000 automatic mechanical movement, which has been tested by the market in terms of stability and accuracy, with a comprehensive daily error of ±8 seconds and a repair rate of about 2%, which can be said to be a good quality movement, and in the appearance of the whole structure, it can also reach more than 95% of the degree of simulation, and one point is that in addition to the small seconds hand will not automatically reset, other functions are synchronously restored to the original.
The strap is Italian cowhide, made with precision, and very atmospheric and classy. Although it is calfskin, it is very similar to the texture of alligator leather, and the watchmaker who pursues perfection can also find Bokey to customize the crocodile strap. The buckle is also not to be said, the lettering is clear, there are edges and corners, and the details are in place.
