SB Factory Replica Panerai PAM 1229 Submersible with P.9010 Movement – Susan Reviews on Replica Watches

As we approach December and the Chinese Spring Festival, life remains challenging under ongoing COVID policies. In the replica watch market, there’s been a long absence of new Panerai models until now. Today, I’m pleased to present a significant release – the PAM 1229 replica from Panerai’s Submersible collection, manufactured by SB factory.

SB factory, whose full name stands for “So Boring,” remains somewhat mysterious in origin. Industry rumors suggest SB might be an alternate name for the renowned VS factory, though this remains unconfirmed. If true, it would be excellent news for enthusiasts, as VS previously produced the finest Panerai replicas before their operational pause following legal issues.

The PAM 1229 replica boasts a substantial 44mm 316F stainless steel case with an impressive 17mm thickness – perfect for those who appreciate robust dive watches. While Submersible replicas come in various materials like titanium and bronze, this stainless steel version maintains the collection’s signature durability. The watch’s design features a black dial accentuated by distinctive blue skeleton hands and a multi-layered date window that demonstrates exceptional craftsmanship.

What makes this replica particularly noteworthy is its attention to detail. The Swiss lume application ensures excellent nighttime visibility, while the blue accents enhance legibility. The caseback displays a unique torpedo logo (Siluro a Lenta Corsa in Italian) – a rare design element in modern Panerai watches that may contribute to this model’s potential popularity among replica enthusiasts.
