TT Factory Replica Panerai PAM 1312 Review
When I entered this industry around ten years ago, Panerai was the most popular replica watch in our market. I must admit that Rolex has consistently been the best seller, but Panerai generated the most discussion across all watch forums at that time. I remember that the factory known for producing the best replica Panerai watches was KW, which utilized the basic Asian 7750 movement and added extra plates to make the completed movement resemble the authentic Panerai Calibre. About four or five years ago, KW rebranded as VS, signaling the start of a new era. VS developed what they called an “in-house” movement, though it was not the genuine “in-house” movement used by the official Panerai brand. The VS factory introduced the super clone P.9000 and other super clone P-series movements, significantly enhancing the quality of Panerai replica watches. However, due to a raid, the VS factory was shut down, and currently, no factories are producing automatic Panerai watches.
Some readers often ask me which factory currently produces top-quality Panerai replica watches. I have to say that there isn’t such a factory, except for HW, which only manufactures Panerai replicas with manual winding movements, not automatic ones. Just two or three days ago, a factory called TT, also known as TTF, emerged in our market and introduced two Panerai models: PAM 1312 and PAM 1314.
I was previously unfamiliar with this factory; this is the first time I’ve encountered its name in the industry. Established watch manufacturers are more well-known, with their names recognized by watch enthusiasts worldwide. Regarding the Panerai 1312 replica from TT, I’m unsure what to say. First, its quality is definitely not the best and does not reflect the highest standards of watchmaking. Compared to replicas from larger factories like ZF or AR, it should be categorized as a moderate quality replica rather than a top replica. However, I believe it is significantly better than those replicas that many refer to as AAA. You should not trust labels like “A” or “AAA,” as no major factories use these letters to classify their watch quality. The movement in this PAM 1312 is not a super clone P.9010; it is simply a standard Asian 7750 movement, which downgrades the overall quality of the watch. On the positive side, its price is much lower than the PAM 1312 previously produced by the VS factory. I also believe that TTF will eventually update and develop their own super clone Panerai automatic movements.
