These two new arrivals from VS Factory are both Luminor GMT models, equipped with the P.900 movement. One features a black dial (PAM 1365) and the other a white dial (PAM 1367). While these models aren’t for everyone, some Italians might appreciate them more due to the use of the Italian word “BiTempo,” which I believe means GMT—am I right? Personally, I prefer the black one.
VS Factory has produced a wide range of replicas, including models from Rolex, Panerai, and Omega, while Clean has only released one new model in recent months—the Explorer II. Between VS and Clean, which watchmaker has higher sales? It’s hard to say, but I think Clean’s higher popularity with Rolex models may give them an edge in earnings.
Both the PAM 1365 and PAM 1367 are 40mm, and their P.900 movements can be viewed through the crystal case back. VS Factory developed the P.900 movement based on the P.9000, and they were the first to produce the super clone P series movement for Panerai replicas. If you want to ensure the Panerai you’re buying is made by VS, there’s a simple test: Loosen the crown lever and pull out the crown to the first click position. Rotate the crown and you’ll see that only the hour hand moves, and the date changes after the hour hand completes two full rotations. This is an exclusive feature of the super clone P series movement by VS. Pull the crown out to the second position to adjust the time, and you’ll see the hour, minute, and GMT hands all move together.
The lume on the dial is very strong, similar to genuine Panerai models. VS Factory uses a sandwich dial structure for both replicas, making the green lume more durable. The GMT hand also has a blue lume at the tip.
