The PAM 111 holds a significant place in the replica watch market as the first Panerai model to be meticulously replicated by Noob factory, setting the standard for 1:1 replicas. Initially, both Noob and H factories produced PAM 005 and PAM 111, but Noob’s version stood out as superior. Over time, the PAM 111 replica has undergone multiple upgrades, with the latest being the V4 version. While earlier versions closely resembled the genuine watch externally, they relied on clone ETA 6497 movements based on Sea-Gull mechanisms. However, Noob factory has now elevated its game by integrating genuine Swiss ETA 6497 movements, making this replica indistinguishable from the original in both appearance and functionality.
The evolution of replica watches has reached a point where models like the PAM 111, with their minimalist design, can be replicated with near-perfect accuracy. The simplicity of the PAM 111—featuring a clean dial with central hour and minute hands, a small seconds subdial at 9 o’clock, and a classic sandwich structure—allows manufacturers to perfect every detail. The use of original Super-LumiNova material ensures the replica’s luminosity matches that of the genuine watch.
Under the hood, the genuine ETA 6497 movement is a game-changer. Visible through the sapphire case back, the movement’s jewels, swan neck regulator, and shock absorber are identical to those in the authentic watch. For those who prefer a more traditional look, the PAM 005 offers the same high quality with a solid case back. The Panerai Luminor Marina 111 replica also comes with a choice of a genuine brown leather strap or a black rubber band, catering to diverse preferences.
