The SB factory, also known as So Boring factory, isn’t a new entity in the watch industry. It’s rumored to be a subsidiary of the VS factory, responsible for producing new Panerai models under this alias. Thus, the recent Panerai replica watches labeled under “SBF” are actually crafted by the VS factory, merely under a different name. While Guangzhou remains under lockdown due to COVID, recent days have seen a slight reprieve with the reopening of the watch market and the resumption of order acceptance by most factories, alongside normalized shipping services.
Throughout 2022, the Panerai replica market saw fewer new releases, with TTF primarily introducing manual-winding models. Notably absent were new offerings from the VS factory for a considerable duration. Although some dealers previously touted the PAM 441 and PAM 438 from the SB factory, these were not truly novel Panerai timepieces. Today, however, we turn our attention to the latest arrival in the market: the replica Panerai PAM 1115 from SB factory, signaling a potential resurgence in Panerai’s market presence. As we anticipate the year 2023, there’s hope that Panerai replicas will once again dominate the market.
The PAM 1115 replica stands out as a yellow gold Panerai, a rarity within the brand’s collection. In response to readers’ inquiries about quality replicas of golden Panerai models, this super clone fills the gap. Measuring 44mm in diameter and 16mm in thickness, the case exudes robustness. The polished round bezel contrasts strikingly with the brushed cushion-shaped case.
The dial serves as a focal point with its silver-gray hue and delicate sandburst finish, mirroring the genuine sandwiched construction. Positioned at 9 o’clock, the small-second subdial features a smoothly gliding blue hand. The central hands, outlined in blue and coated with luminous material, complement the dial’s aesthetics. Notably, the sandwiched dial construction ensures ample luminescence, with skeleton hour markers and prominent numerals at 6, 9, and 12 o’clock. A square date window at 3 o’clock enhances readability with white date font against a black background, blending tradition with modernity.
The crystal back reveals the clone P.9010 automatic movement, operating at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour. Meticulously crafted to replicate the genuine Panerai P.9010, the movement bears all requisite engravings on the plates and rotor, closely resembling its authentic counterpart. For aficionados seeking a gold Panerai timepiece, the PAM 1115 presents an enticing choice.
